    Compliance is such a terrifying movie, and so well acted. I know it's a small indie but I hope it can move on.

    I don't know if I feel strongly about any of these movies one way or the other.

    I just added Leave No Trace, Compliance, Incendies, and The Drop to my Netfilx, based on comments in these threads. Will watch these after finishing Calvary.

    Enjoy! Those are some good ones.

    What makes Compliance terrifying is its plausibility.

    Also, don't judge A Monster Calls by the trailer. It's way more than that. It's one of the better depictions of grief and dealing with illness.

    Such a fun film. In the wrong hands, it would have been a complete mess. I highly recommend the TV show as well.

    Ok, so I watched The Drop and Leave No Trace this evening.

    The Drop had some great performances. But overall the plot had me scratching my head. It was worth a watch, but no vote from me.

    If I describe Leave No Trace as a horror movie, with a psychotic dad who kidnaps his daughter and subjects her to increasingly bizarre emotional abuse, then I might be able to recommend it. That's the only interpretation that kept me from hate-watching it. I really liked the character of the daughter, and glad she broke free of her Stockholm Syndrome abuse. No vote from me.

    I should get to Compliance and Incendies in a couple of days.

    Wow. That's a very interesting take on Leave No Trace. I saw a father that was so broken by the world that he was trying to protect his daughter from it. It's a great portrayal of PTSD and a perfect companion piece with You Were Never Really Here.
