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

5. LFO

An entry not only into the sci-fi canon but into the single location film canon as well, LFO is a pitch black sci-fi comedy/drama from Swedish director Antonio Tublen, whose film here was one of the standouts at Sci-Fi-London 2014.

Centering around a sound technician's (Patrik Karlson's Robert) realisation that he can hypnotise and influence people by emitting a low frequency noise, LFO turns Robert's discovery from a playful experiment (he initially uses his neighbours as unsuspecting lab rats) into a fully-fledged God complex, with Robert becoming increasingly self-aware that what he's doing is wrong without being able to stop.

The end is tough, uncompromising, and bleak, but not without hope. A nod too, to the film's poster, which is one of the best in recent memory and has a brilliant take on the classic Vertigo design of Saul Bass.
