Possessor (2020)
An agent works for a secretive organization that uses brain-implant technology to inhabit other people's bodies - ultimately driving them to commit assassinations for high-paying clients.
Off-kilter science fiction thriller with strong horror elements makes the best of its far-fetched premise to create some stunning visuals, gloomy atmosphere and a highly complex, perplexing twist ending.

Cropsey (2009)
Realizing the urban legend of their youth has actually come true; two filmmakers delve into the mystery surrounding five missing children and the real-life boogeyman linked to their disappearances.
Creepy true crime documentary certainly adds some horror elements to an already disturbing and ambiguous case; good, but slightly exploitative.

Holy Hell (2016)
An inside look at Buddhafield, a West Hollywood cult formed by a charismatic teacher in the 1980s that eventually imploded.
A bit haphazard documentary, maybe due to the fact that the director was an ex-member (and its "propaganda minister"), does give a glimpse into the surreal cult community, but also gives room to those who still defend its existence.
Birders (2019)
Bird watchers on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border share their enthusiasm for protecting and preserving some of the world's most beautiful bird species.
Interesting documentary shirt shines a light on the community of bird watchers beyond any barriers; highlight is mostly the good nature photography.
