A hooded serial killer stalks the Budapest subway while Bulcsu (the appealingly disheveled Sandor Csanyi) and four other ticket inspectors — they're called Kontroll — try to stop the next victim from being pushed in front of a train. Shooting in the underground, lit by an eerie fluorescent glow, first-time writer-director Nimrod Antal spices the suspense with laughs and sex — Bulcsu drools for a hottie (Eszter Balla) in a bear suit — but it's the whooshing terror that fries your nerves to a frazzle. Antal's control never falters.

“The A Team”

This debut track from the then-20-year-old British singer-songwriter has a dark story behind it. Sheeran says he culls songwriting inspiration from "viewing other people's situations," which, for the heroine in "The A Team," involves drug addiction and prostitution that began as a teen. Sheeran paints the woman's trials with haunting imagery such as "But lately her face seems/Slowly sinking, wasting/Crumbling like pastries." "I did a gig at a homeless shelter, [and the song] is about one of the women there. It's her story," he said.
