Simon Horrocks' Third Contact is one such case. This psychologically-driven film follows David (Tim Scott-Walker), a psychotherapist who's seemingly feeling more like his patients lately with bouts of depression and a sense hopelessness. As David digs deeper into the apparent suicide of his patient, strange and mysterious things start to happen. Writer/director Simon Horrocks did a great job combining both the style and substance with this one. The look and pace of the film fit the source material, so much that I felt closer to the main character. While the film certainly is more psychologically-driven, and this one especially requires a lot of attention, it was EXTREMELY stimulating. A brilliant ending and a film that may leave you with more questions than answers, but that shouldn't be a bad thing especially in today's cinematic climate. A must see film!
