Snakeeater

Snakeeater (2024) is an American psychological horror you can watch online on iFILM. Rick Miner left the police force and now works off the books as an insurance investigator, picking apart other people's deaths for a fee, all of it set against a city that seems to be rotting from the inside out.

The new job looks routine. Frank, who runs an insurance firm, wants Rick to look into the death of an ex-con named Tony Fairchild. The man took out a million-dollar life policy just weeks before a fire killed him, and now his sister is waiting on the payout. It smells like a scam — until evidence surfaces that Tony might still be breathing. The deeper Rick digs, the less he trusts his own eyes, and a dull case curdles into a nightmare that may be coming straight out of his head.

This is the feature debut of director Tore Knos, with Isaach De Bankolé and Dennis Flanagan in the cast. A lean 80-minute slow-burn for viewers who like noir where the detective loses his footing right alongside the audience. Stream Snakeeater (2024) online on iFILM.
