10 Awesome Movies That Nobody Saw In 2015

7. The Falling

"Weird." That's one of the only ways to describe Carol Morley's latest film, The Falling, a genuinely eerie British movie set at a girls' school where a mass fainting incident begins to consume the student body. If that sounds totally odd, it is. Starring Maisie Williams (yes, Maisie Williams from Game of Thrones) as a teenager on the cusp of discovering her sexuality, it's safe to say there's never been anything quite like The Falling. It's - at once - preposterous and utterly hypnotic. Luc Roeg, son of Nicolas Roeg, served as a producer on the film, and that makes sense - it has that Roeg-like quality. Much of The Falling will have you wondering whether or not Williams' character, Lydia, is faking it. The movie never really gives you a proper answer, which some viewers might find to be a bit frustrating. But The Falling isn't really about the mystery at its core; it's more interested in evoking an atmosphere; a sense of lingering foreboding. In that regard, it succeeds: having seen Morley's picture, it's impossible not to come away disturbed.
