Released in 2007, WΔZ is a thriller, drama, crime and horror film directed by Tom Shankland, running about 104 minutes. “Would you kill the one you love to save yourself from death?” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. There is something horribly wrong with the bodies found in the dark city streets. Some are mutilated while others have the Price equation (wΔz = Cov (w,z) = βwzVz) carved into their flesh. Detective Eddie Argo and his new partner Helen Westcott unearth the meaning of the odd equation and realise each victim is being offered a gruesome choice: kill your loved ones, or be killed. Before long it becomes clear that the perpetrator has suffered a similar fate and is now coping by seeking a way to solve this philosophical dilemma.

Who’s in it. WΔZ stars Selma Blair as Jean Lerner, Melissa George as Helen Westcott, Stellan Skarsgård as Eddie Argo and Sally Hawkins as Elly Carpenter, among others.
