7) We Are What We Are (2013)

This movie makes family traditions feel like a death sentence. A religious father forces his daughters to carry on a horrifying ritual. The reveal of what they have been eating is disturbing but the dinner scene where one sister finally fights back is worse. The horror comes from the slow realization that they have no choice. Every scene feels heavier because of it. It is overlooked because it is too quiet and unsettling but that is exactly why it works.
