If you loved The Nest, try Martha Marcy May Marlene

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What Martha Marcy May Marlene is

Catskills, late summer. A screen door banging. A young woman flees a farm commune. She reaches out to her sister for refuge in a glassy lakeside house. Yet, shadowed memories and lingering paranoia threaten to shatter her fragile new life. Another entry in the post-millennial rural-gothic cycle.
