Take Shelter
Directed by Jeff Nichols
A man plagued by terrifying apocalyptic visions struggles to determine if they’re real or if he’s losing his mind. Either way, Curtis (Michael Shannon) is in trouble, and so he doesn’t tell his wife Samantha (Jessica Chastain) about his nightmares, and instead seeks answers in psychology books, while obsessively building a shelter, just in case. Jeff Nichols (MIDNIGHT SPECIAL) broke out with this acclaimed portrait of a man on the brink of disaster that’s instantly relatable to all of us who live in fear of the very real apocalyptic scenarios on Earth’s horizon.

I didn't like it the first time I saw it, but I rewatched it and ended up loving it. Michael Shannon is an amazing actor and delivers a super intense performance.
Wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. A unique take on "real-life horror."
Great slow build on suspense... this was a random pick for me today and I was not disappointed!
