SOLE SURVIVOR - streaming on AMC+ and Shudder
Written and directed by Thom Eberhardt (best known for his cult classic Night of the Comet), this 1983 slow burn horror thriller is the undisputed spiritual precursor to the Final Destination franchise.
Granted, it’s not as gonzo or gory as those films, but it still packs a decent amount of creepy tension.
The acting isn’t terribly great and the cinematography has that 1980s made-for-tv look, but the story is intriguing and quite a lot of the shots of an empty Los Angeles at night are unsettlingly cool.
In the grand scheme of things it’s very much like an extended The Twilight Zone episode.
