Films like In the Electric Mist.

In the Electric Mist (2009) reads as Sombre, measured, measured thriller / drama, 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.
