Mark Angel
Mark Angel’s filmography is honestly a bit of a wild ride. You’ve got “Curvature” from 2017, which—if you’re into twisty sci-fi stuff—totally messes with your head. Time travel, paranoia, conspiracies, you name it. The vibe is sorta Black Mirror meets Looper, with a dash of that indie movie weirdness that keeps you guessing who’s actually telling the truth. The whole plot basically hinges on this scientist chick who wakes up after her husband dies, only to get sucked into a string of wtf moments involving secret tech, gaps in her memory, and some shadowy folks who clearly have their own agenda. It’s one of those movies where you question every scene.
Then you hit “The Asylum.” Oh man, classic psychological thriller territory. It’s set in this mental institution (obviously), and everything just gets more and more bonkers the deeper you go. Patients are losing it, staff are sketchy as hell, and you start wondering if anyone’s actually sane. There’s a lot of that “wait, is this real or just happening in their head?” kind of tension. Feels like a fever dream at times, tbh.
And now there’s “McVeigh” (2024). This one’s way heavier. It digs into the Oklahoma City bombing, focusing on Timothy McVeigh—so yeah, super dark and gritty. It’s not just about what happened, but more about why, showing his twisted logic and the events leading up. Definitely not light popcorn fare, but Angel doesn’t shy away from tough material. Each film’s got its own flavor, but the common thread is that nothing’s ever really what it seems.
