Description from Wikipedia:
Blood Simple. is a 1985 neo-noir crime film. It was the directorial debut of Joel and Ethan Coen, and the first major film of cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld, who later became a noted director. The film's title derives from Dashiell Hammett's novel Red Harvest, in which "blood simple" is a term coined to describe the addled, fearful mindset people are in after a prolonged immersion in violent situations.
In 2001, a "director's cut" DVD was released. It placed 98th on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Thrills. The film was also placed at #73 on Bravo TV's 100 Scariest Movie Moments.
