The Last Wave vs. Take Shelter

Two great and remarkably similar films (I immediately thought of The Last Wave when I saw the trailer for Take Shelter). I'd say Take Shelter wins by a small margin, mostly because of Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain's performances.

Take Shelter's got the performances to bring it well into the lead here, but The Last Wave was genuinely creepy. And I had no idea where it was going from one minute to the next. An underseen gem, for sure.
