Anon (2018)
In a world without anonymity or crime, a detective meets a woman who threatens their security.
Although transporting an in-the-face message warning of the increasing grip of cyberspace onto everyday life, this sci-fi tale has great style and atmosphere, and Owen and Seyfried are convincing in the lead roles.
The Diabolical (2015)
A single mother, and her children, are awoken nightly by an intense presence, and she asks her scientist boyfriend to destroy the violent spirit, that paranormal experts are too frightened to take on.
A conventional haunted house tale with a time travel twist is too ambitious for its own good and so loses most of its plausibility along the way, despite some cheap scares in between.
