Film Noir is not so much a genre, but more of a mood.Although plots differ, most
deal with various amounts of corruption, murder, and twists that give the story a sense of foreboding evil. Also, these films share a similar visual style.Dark alleys, rain soaked streets, and bizare high contrast lighting are just a few signature elements of these pictures.
