I'm a huge fan of the like microbudget (like 50k) psychological sci-fi film Coherence. They make the most out of their cast who semi-improvise much of the dialog and go the lo-fi approach to wonderful effect. It is easily found on several different streaming services, and is truly an underseen gem.
That definitely sounds interesting to me. I'll give that a watch.
You might like Moon. It's not exactly microbudget, but it's something that could have been made anytime from 1970 to 2020
Moon is great! Definitely slots into the realm of lower budget and more psychological.
Coherence was much better than I expected when I first saw it, they really stuck the landing on the organic improv approach. And it's even more impressive given the premise, quantum anything has the potential to get messy.
For some similar microbudget stuff, I'd recommend Moorhead & Benson's first few projects together. The "M&B cinematic universe" of Resolution, The Endless, and Synchronic is a fun ride.
Never seen any of Moorhead & Benson's stuff, I'll have to check it out, seems interesting.
