It’s a bit hard to describe but I felt like both had moments of spiraling confusion with the protagonist watching their worlds fall apart around them that I found really captivating.

I’m trying to think of other examples but The Fall and The Father are ones that came to mind. They are both fantastic films I’d highly recommend.

[email protected] mentioned mother! (2017) which was the other example that was on the tip of my tongue.

    Those first three definitely have confusion and hopelessness, let me think.

    Oldboy 2003 of course. Exciting, but hopelessness and confusion are the name of the game there.

    Oh the Wicker Man 1973!

    Antichrist(2009)

    The void(2016) certainly does hopelessness well, but it might be too weird and thriller

    Creep 2014, but I might just be recommending good movies at this point haha. Another single day movie, but things really fall apart.
