The mid-budget thriller genre is making a comeback, as evidenced by the success of ‘Killer Heat’. This film, which boasts a budget of around £10 million, has been praised for its gripping storyline and strong performances. Starring Jessie T. Usher and Aaron Eckhart, ‘Killer Heat’ follows a rookie cop and a seasoned detective as they investigate a series of arson attacks in Los Angeles. The film, which was shot on location in the city, has been compared to classic thrillers of the 1990s. Producers hope that ‘Killer Heat’ will inspire a new wave of mid-budget thrillers, which offer a more realistic and grounded alternative to big-budget blockbusters.
