Films like The Wedding Guest.

The Wedding Guest (2019) reads as Sombre, kinetic, measured thriller / survival, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, 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.
