Another indie film which I'm interested in seeing is Take Shelter (2011). It had a limited US theatrical run back around the end of September. It stars Michael Shannon as a man who is plagued by apocalyptic visions.

I loved this movie! I wrote a pretty in-depth review here, also touching on films with similar themes, and which ones work (this also includes another great schizo flick: Martha Marcy May Marlene):

Check it out, and I invite comments there too. I've recently written about many indie films, so some might find it an interesting blog to follow. I also write about indie music and have a profile on the way with an important indie musician (Lou Barlow of Sebadoh and Dinosaur Jr.)
