8) The Snowtown Murders (2011)
The Snowtown Murders is a retelling of the horrific crimes by John Bunting, one of Australia's most notorious criminals in its infamous "Bodies in Barrels" case. Manipulating and coercing his accomplices into an uninterrupted spree of gruesome killings through the 1990s, Bunting was depicted with great aplomb in Justin Kurzel's movie as the predator's charming and cruel character. Shot raw and unflinching in realism, it captures the bleakness of a community fractured by the provisions and violence. The movie is still a haunting exploration of humanity's darkest impulses.
