MODERATORS
I haven't seen the example you've listed (The Fall is already on my watchlist and I'm now adding The Father to it too), but I'll try to recommend some that I hope are relevant:
- Possession (1981)
- Eraserhead (1977)
- Perfect Blue (1997)
- Paprika (2006)
- mother! (2017)
- House (1977)
- Mulholland Drive (2001)
- Videodrome (1983)
- eXistenZ (1999)
- The Hourglass Sanatorium (1973)
- Beau Is Afraid (2023)
- Dream Scenario (2023)
- Dementia (1955)
- Annihilation (2018)
- Donnie Darko (2001)
- The Wolf House (2018)
- The Lighthouse (2019)
- The Third Part of the Night (1971)
- The Devil (1973 or 1988 depending where you look)
I loved Annihilation (2018). I even read the book before watching the movie, still good.
The author's written a few other books outside of the Southern Reach trilogy that are pretty good as well
Thanks! I'll check out Borne by Jeff Vandermeer
mother! (2017)
Thank you! That was the third example that on the tip of my tongue. I have been meaning to watch Perfect Blue and Paprika. I own a copy of both so I'll definitely check them out.
Not so fun fact for you: I didn't know what The Lighthouse was about and watched it one night when I was visiting my dad
Oof, that reminds me of the first time I watched Mulholland Drive, I watched it with my parents 🫥 I didn't know what it was about either when I picked it out
I’d have to recommend Pi (1998). Runners up would probably be Requiem For A Dream (2000) and Black Swan (2010)
Shutter Island, maybe?
I saw it when it came out and didn't think that much of it, then rewatched it a few months ago and really got taken along on its tide.
Do you think Shutter Island relies heavily on a twist? I feel like I've heard how the movie ends
Yeah unquestionably it does. It certainly doesn't build in the same way The Father does for instance, but I think on a rewatch (and therefore knowing the twist) it becomes more about a gradual unravelling of Leo's perceptions.
I haven't seen these movies, but I saw Beau is Afraid last year and it sounds like it fits the bill. Very strange film.
Oh yeah Beau is Afraid definitely fits this
