Mortal (2020)
A Norwegian film with most of the dialogue in English (along with English subtitles), Mortal is a fantasy action movie inspired by Norse mythology with sci-fi elements integrated into the plot. Eric (Nat Wolff) wakes up in the wilderness to discover that he not only has terrible burns but that virtually everyone he touches dies. He meets with a psychologist named Christine (Iben Akerlie), who tries to help after discovering his powers are controlled by his emotions.
Mortal was well received by viewers and earned mixed reviews from critics. Jared Mobarek of The Film Stage calls the movie a “fascinating take … with some cool set pieces and a willingness to increase stakes by killing characters and dealing with the complexity of the aftermath.”

Sirona (2023)
Sirona (Ashlynn Hideman) is a young woman with supernatural gifts. She escapes from a government facility where she is being held captive and people are conducting experiments on her. But her freedom is short-lived because soon, she finds herself on the run from mercenaries who are desperate to capture her and take her back.
Earning a 90% Rotten Tomatoes audience score, Sirona is one of those lesser-known indie films for fans who revel in finding underground gems. But views are polarizing, and Sirona will only appeal to those who appreciate low-budget sci-fi and all of its charms.

The Wall (2012)
Based on the Marlen Haushofer novel Die Wand, The Wall is an Austrian-German sci-fi drama about Die Frau (Martina Gedeck), who travels to a remote hunting lodge with friends only to realize that after they go out for a walk, she is trapped behind an invisible wall. She spends three years alone with the help of her friend’s dog, struggling with isolation, depression, and confusion as to what is going on.
Earning decent reviews, The Wall is a heavy, haunting movie that’s not your traditional sci-fi. Boston Globe’s Ethan Gilsdorf describes The Wall as “bleak and beautiful, harrowing yet inspiring … a stunning tale of isolation and survival in a wild and silent world.”
