20 Hidden Sci-Fi Movie Gems You Can Watch On Netflix

7. In Your Eyes

Joss Whedon again here, this time taking on writing duties for paranormal romance, In Your Eyes. The film, which sees Zoe Kazan and Michael Stahl-David (respectively, as Rebecca and Dylan) as lovers who can feel, hear, and share experiences through telepathic methods, forewent theatrical release and was instead self-distributed online after it's world premiere at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival.

The film never really evolves past its teen-romance trappings, but, within that framework - and with the added sci-fi elements - Brin Hill's film is a satisfying, Whedon-lite experience, and a nice, slim alternative to the Avengers director's bloated (albeit thoroughly enjoyable) superhero excursions.
