There is a New Zealand indie film in theatres right now, but if you have Comcast on demand, you can watch it in your home right now. It's called Out of the Blue and it depicts the true story of a loner in a small NZ village who snaps one day and starts shooting his neighbors.
Sounds very mundane to Americans I'm sure, but this film is gripping. Utilizing actors who look like normal people, instead of actors, heightens the reality of the situation and everyone does a great job, especially the guy who plays the madman.
It shows how the actions of one person can affect the lives of so many. This is a truly rivetting thriller and I recommend it to everyone. I even watched it twice, which I rarely do. It's also very interesting to see how one community, not used to violence in its midst deals with it.
A really excellent movie.
