The Knives Out movies feel like a return to form in so many ways: they're not just keeping the classic, Agatha Christie-inspired murder mystery alive, but they also invoke the mid-budget thrillers that once had a tangible presence at the box office.

Sadly, though, we're living in the timeline where Netflix scooped up the rights to distribute those films.
