These are thrillers from the silver screen that weren't your huge hits. No blocks were busted. No boffo to be had. But they are very good.
Frailty Bill Paxton. A father took his sons out demon-hunting. But were the targets demons or just plain folks? The effect on the brothers is devastating.
The forgotten Julian Moore. How could everyone forget she had a child? But all evidence of her son is gone! Imagination? Or something more sinister...
The reckoning Willem Dafoe and Paul Bettany. Ooooooh. This is the coolest movie ever. In Medieval England a troupe of actors, including a runaway priest, pull a Hamlet before there was a Hamlet. They solve a local murder and put on a play depicting the act. Not exactly Judy and Mickey in a barn. I should re-watch this.
Enjoy these strange, intense B-list movies!

What about "Frequency," the 2000 movie starring Dennis Quaid and a pre-"Passion" Jim Caviezel? The movie centers around Caviezel's character connecting with his father (Quaid) through time (and a ham radio), working to right a wrong done to his family during his childhood. It's intense, a bit freaky, and definitely flew under the radar...the only reason I even know about it was because it was the featured midnight movie on an overnight flight from the US to Europe...check it out, it's worth it!
