10 Actors Who Didn't Want To Be Credited For Horror Movie Roles

This one’s a bit more serious. In 2012, documentarian Joshua Oppenheimer released The Act Of Killing, an astonishing, horrifying film about the banality of evil. It focussed on Anwar Congo, an Indonesian gangster turned political assassin who helped orchestrate mass killings of communists in the mid-’60s.

The quasi-sequel The Look Of Silence turns Oppenheimer’s camera on a victim. Here, the focus is on a middle-aged man who lost his brother to the slaughter nearly 50 years prior. Over the course of the astonishing film, the man processes his experience and loss by interviewing some of the surviving killers from the purge, along with their collaborators and family members.

Despite the passing of time, this remains clearly a dangerous undertaking, and as such, the man is anonymised throughout the piece. The man acts in secret, setting up fake eye exams so as to speak to his subjects, but the pain he deals with is horrifyingly real. Perhaps more chilling still are the responses, of the killers particularly, none of whom seem to express any remorse.
