12 Cult Classic Sci-Fis You Stupidly Ignored First Time
11. Coherence
After premiering at Fantastic Fest in 2013 to receive an incredibly small theatre release (making only $102,617 worldwide), it wouldn't be surprising if this film flew right by you. Which would be a shame, because Coherence is fantastic.
Shot in director James Ward Byrkit's own Californian home and consisting of improvised dialogue, this intriguing indie film follows a group of eight friends attending a dinner party the night a comet passes overhead, causing electrical shortages and a blackout. And things only get weirder for the group when they discover a house of doppelgangers at the end of the street. Further investigation reveals there are infinite versions of the house, each connected to an alternate reality.
As the evening's events grow ever stranger, the group begin to question which one of them - if any - is part of the right reality as tension and distrust surface.
Despite its measly budget of just $50,000, Coherence is able to make its small scale seem a lot bigger thanks the clever execution of its compelling premise as the mystery is slowly unveiled and developed.
