A troubled man gets released from prison and starts taking out his sadistic fantasies on an unsuspecting family living in a secluded house.
Thoroughly told from the perspective of a serial killer, this psychological drama is almost unbearably intense, also thanks to Erwin Leder's totally immersive performance, and may cross borders for some of the audience.

The documentary follows the investigation of Sophie Toscan Du Plantier, a French film and TV producer who was killed while at her isolated holiday cottage in West Cork, Ireland, in 1996.
A mysterious murder and its impact on the Irish small town community and its international implications is extensively analyzed and intrigues with its romantic settings in West Cork and doesn't ignore the fact that the actual case is still not fully resolved.

A family man is drafted to fight in a future war where the fate of humanity relies on his ability to confront the past.
Big-budget, heavily derivative sc-fi alien invasion thriller does entertain, if you don't give any thoughts to the involved time-travel aspects of the story, and the third section is also a bit humorous.

Lucas and Clementine live peacefully in their isolated country house, but one night they wake up to strange noise... they're not alone... and a group of hooded assailants begin to terrorize them throughout the night.
Down-to-the-basics
home invasion thriller certainly knows how to turn up the suspense and
deliver the scares, but in the end it has all been a bubble of air.
Maltin**1/2: "Simple, tense, terse two-character thriller has a cold, cold heart, and rates kudos for scant grue. But the disappointing Big Reveal is just a variation on the same-old same-old, brandishing a dull and rusty cutting edge."

Events over the course of one traumatic night in Paris unfold in reverse-chronological order as the beautiful Alex is brutally raped and beaten by a stranger in the underpass.
If
you reverse a maddening downward spiral, here's proof that it doesn't
go upward; aside the two controversial scenes, this film (albeit
directed with quite some talent) still emanates a so thoroughly
nihilistic view of mankind that it feels superficial and unconvincing.
Halliwell*: "There is something so brutalist and miserablist about Noé's view of the world that it can seem ludicrous, but not here: with a ferocious murder followed by a vicious rape, both shown in all their horror, this can be a shattering experience that offers no hope for humanity."
Maltin*1/2: ""Controversial does not begin to describe this ugly, over-the-top rape-and-revenge tale, told in reverse a la MEMENTO, ...Graphically violent, even by contemporary standards, this glorified exploitation film features an extended rape sequence and brutal murder that's hard to stomach. Though gimmicky and repugnant, some will admire the film for its audacity."
