6. Take Shelter

Released in 2011 and directed by Jeff Nichols, Take Shelter is a tense psychological drama. Curtis LaForche (Michael Shannon), a construction worker, starts having disturbing visions of an apocalyptic storm. As his paranoia grows, he builds a shelter, worrying his wife Samantha (Jessica Chastain) and straining their finances. Is he losing his mind or seeing the future? With a modest $5 million budget, the film's powerful performances and haunting atmosphere made it a critical darling, even if not a blockbuster hit.
