Films like The Lazarus Project.

The Lazarus Project (2008) reads as Sombre, steady, measured drama / thriller, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, measured. 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.
