Styria (2014)
Excellent slow burn

This is a great, atmospheric psychological thriller. In a time when too many horror films rely on cheap shocks this is a welcome, slow burn into the Gothic and the uncanny.
The women in the film would be easy to watch doing anything, but what shines is the tense, Gothic tone they're able to carry. I was skeptical about how Stephen Rhea would play in this, but he and the whole cast carry the mood well. Speaking of the mood. The gloomy visuals and period Soviet block color palette is probably the anchor and the thing I like best about the whole film.
Not to mention the rad new-wave goth soundtrack!
