Shutter (2004)
A young photographer and his girlfriend discover mysterious shadows in their photographs after a tragic accident, and they soon learn that you can not escape your past.
Nicely eerie variation of a ghost story, the atmosphere similarly gloomy as in the original Ring/Grudge series, and the emphasis is more on guilt than the mere supernatural.
The Face of an Angel (2014)
Both a journalist and a documentary filmmaker chase the story of a murder and its prime suspect.
Unabashedly pretentious exercise that takes a true crime case as an excuse to doodle about fact and fiction, the tagline sums it up perfectly: "Forget the truth, find the story"; the good cast does their best with their invidious roles, though.
The Void (2016)
Shortly after delivering a patient to an understaffed hospital, a police officer experiences strange and violent occurrences seemingly linked to a group of mysterious hooded figures.
An over-the-top gorefest made by cineastes who know what they're going and do it well, and their love for the respective 80s classics is obvious; that the plot is incoherent and nonsensical, won't bother hardcore fans of the genre.
