Triangle
A yacht, a storm, an ocean liner, and a loop that keeps folding back on a single mother.
Jess joins friends for a day-sailing trip. A storm capsizes them. They climb aboard a derelict liner that appears to be empty, except somebody is killing them, and the somebody is her.
Christopher Smith built a genuine puzzle box: the film is a time loop and a Möbius strip at once, and the structure only fully resolves on a rewatch, at which point every apparently throwaway image turns out to be load-bearing.
Melissa George carries it almost alone and the performance has to work across several versions of the same character at once.
The Sisyphus and Aeolus references are not decoration, they are the plot.
It is one of the smartest scripts in the genre and one of the most rewatched, because it is essentially unsolvable on a first pass and completely fair on a second.

Adjacent
Delirium
A Vietnam veteran, a vigilante group and a plot that gives up. Not the Lamberto Bava one.
Penda's Fen
A BBC play about a repressed vicar's son in the English countryside, and it is one of the strangest things ever broadcast.
I Miss You, Hugs and Kisses
A Canadian courtroom drama about a real murder. Its presence on the list is inexplicable.
Sissy
An Australian wellness influencer at a hen weekend. Much sharper and much nastier than the premise suggests.
Exposé
The only British film on the DPP list. A novelist, a typist and Fiona Richmond in a farmhouse.
The Slayer
A painter's nightmares kill people on an off-season island. Genuinely atmospheric and badly underrated.
