This doesn't particularly fall into your desired categories but it's superb 📂 Archived Message Posted by RaskolnikovX on September 12, 2025, 8:45 am, in reply to "Re: off topic - pls recommend enthralling (mysterious/suspenseful) escapism - movies / series nm" "The Box" (2021) (you have to be careful because there are a LOT of films of the same name around the same time too). This one is directed by Lorenzo Vigas: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13846544/ Really good film with some stunning cinematography (reminiscent of Roger Deakins with some of the landscape/sky shots which are breathtaking) and a seemingly unpromising story which becomes really enthralling. I watched it thinking it would be a bit of a time-filler but it blew me away and it's WAY better than the IMDB rating of 6.6.
