Detective story that puts an emphasis on suspense, has a good twist, and another better twist on top, with a touch of surrealism, a fairytale like tone but telling essentially a nihilistic story.

Recent examples are like, true detective, the lighthouse, Hannibal (tv series), Sherlock (TV series), Astroid city, Suspiria (the remake), pan’s labyrinth, Donny darko, virgin suicide etc.
