Dark Places (2014)

A matricide occurs on an American farm. Horribly, the mother and younger sisters are killed. The older brother, suspected as the culprit, goes to jail, and the sole survivor, a young girl, lives on donations. Now grown up, she no longer receives sympathy, and her livelihood is at risk. She has tried to forget the incident, but she never really had any other skills. Eventually, she is invited to join a private research group that studies murder cases as a survivor to earn money. This forces her to revisit the past. The movie is based on a work by Gillian Flynn, the author of the novel that inspired the movie 'Gone Girl'. You can see another side of Charlize Theron, who gives a wild performance.

10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

It's an incredibly well-made thriller set in a confined space. It starts with a disaster/horror movie vibe, but a huge twist is hidden within.
A woman gets into a fight with a man and leaves home. She gets into a car accident. When she wakes up, she's in an underground bunker... and John Goodman is there... It seems like a cliché setup, but you'll be amazed if you watch it all the way through. It seems like a spin-off of the movie 'Cloverfield', but it boasts incredible quality as a standalone film. Watch how this clever and petite woman copes with the situation.

The Double (2013)

A beautifully shot doppelganger thriller. But it makes you feel bad the whole time. Hahaha. Shy 'Jesse' has a crush on a girl named Mia, but suddenly another 'Jesse' appears, who looks exactly like him but is incomparably more charming, and tries to steal Mia away. I felt it was inspired by Kafka or Dostoevsky, but it turns out Dostoevsky is the original author.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)
https://movie.naver.com/movie/bi/mi/basic.nhn?code=152694

Another unsettling thriller. It's a film that pays a lot of attention to mise-en-scène. In a nutshell, it's about a boy who hangs around a family, making them feel uneasy. The boy suddenly curses the protagonist's family, and the curse begins to come true, turning into a thriller. The atmosphere is reminiscent of the movie 'The Shining', and also brings to mind films by director Park Chan-wook.

The Girl with All the Gifts (2017)
https://movie.naver.com/movie/bi/mi/basic.nhn?code=118955

It's a Netflix original film. It should be called a sci-fi action thriller. The setting is a terrifying near-future world where only one child can be raised per family, and any more are taken away and raised by the state (or perhaps killed; it's impossible to know if they are alive or dead). However, septuplets are born in one family. Since they are seven, the mother lies and says only one was born. Then, to go outside, they take turns going out on the corresponding day of the week and coexist. However, one day, 'Monday' disappears, and the story takes a sharp turn. The performance of Noomi Rapace, who successfully played seven roles, is worth watching.

Last Days on Mars (2013)
https://movie.naver.com/movie/bi/mi/basic.nhn?code=95874

A Martian zombie thriller. Despite being a novel attempt to combine zombies and outer space, it seems to have failed miserably. The original title was 'Last Days on Mars', but maybe because it wasn't selling well, they even changed the title. There were no familiar actors, but it turned out to be an Irish film. Although not directed by a famous director, it's a hidden gem.

Maze Runner (2014)
https://movie.naver.com/movie/bi/mi/basic.nhn?code=105015

A story of boys stranded and trying to escape. It reminds me of 'Lord of the Flies'. A bunch of amnesiac boys are trapped in a maze. Even though it's a maze, it's outdoors and there's space for farming. The walls are 100 meters high, so climbing is impossible. Also, the outside of the maze changes structure every day, and strange monsters are watching. One day, the protagonist boy falls into this maze. While trying to figure things out, a girl also falls into the maze. Along with a note from the administrators saying, 'No more people will be coming in'... The boys who no longer want to live in the maze band together and engage in a thrilling escape.
