3. The Incident

The Incident or "El Incidente" is a Mexican science fiction film with a clever premise.

While fleeing an arrest, criminal brothers Carlos and Oliver discover that the apartment stairwell they are in has no end. Simultaneously an ordinary family begin a road trip on what turns out to be an endless stretch of highway.

Confusion, disbelief and panic rise to the fore as they all begin to realise the devastating consequences of the hopeless situation they find themselves in. It's an exciting and thoughtful experience delivered on a shoestring budget.

This may be the only non-English speaking film on this list but The Incident alone proves that foreign language science fiction should not be ignored.
