Films like In a Dark Place.

In a Dark Place (2006) reads as Heavy, measured, measured horror / thriller, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
