Films like The Uninvited Guest.

The Uninvited Guest (2005) reads as Heavy, measured, measured drama / mystery, 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.
