Cold winter nights were made for cinema, the kind of films you watch with something warm and don't move until the end. Thrillers with real tension, the kind that makes you hold your breath without realising it. All from the 2000s, a decade that produced some of the most ambitious and original films in recent memory. The fact that these actually happened makes them hit completely differently.
