Borgman (2013)

This critically-acclaimed thriller is kind of like the Dutch Houseguest — if you replaced Sinbad with a truly unsettling vagrant. The New York Times’ 2014 review called the film a “malevolent adult fairy tale,” one where a happy ending definitely isn’t guaranteed.

Sweet, Sweet Lonely Girl (2016)

Ms .45 (1981)

Street harassment isn’t a new problem, dudes. This gritty revenge-thriller from 1981 pits a mute survivor of sexual assault against all the predatory men of New York City, with just one .45 caliber pistol in her hand. This cult classic film also marked the first collaboration between filmmaker Abel Ferrara and the late actor/writer Zoë Lund.

Nothing Bad Can Happen (2013)
The Visitor (1979)

Available May 15

Wake in Fright (1971)

Like Borgman and Ms .45, Wake in Fright finds horror in the darkness of humanity. After getting transferred from the big city to the Australian Outback, a mild-mannered teacher experiences a series of unsettling encounters. If you’re not intrigued yet, know that this brutal Australian thriller is also one of the few films to earn a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
