Haunter

Not sure why this movie isn't better known. The ghost of a murdered girl, trapped in the day of her death in the 80s, learns to travel backwards and forward in time meeting other eras' residents. Donnie Darko meets The Lovely Bones meets A Nightmare On Elm Street. Enjoyable film, well done, and, especially memorable for, a freaky "futuristic" take on current real-life 2015, during a flashforward into the present-day "future" which shows no technology that doesn't actually exist today, yet, by comparison to the 1980s context of the film, all suddenly appears to the viewer to be advanced and futuristic. This should probably be a cult favorite.

Another effective Canadian film. How do they do it?

Pontypool

Kind of a personal favorite, despite how much of a stretch it is at points. Another one of those small, unique, strangely good films Canadians seem so good at. DJs stuck inside a radio station as society goes insane en masse outside. Some novel ideas, but does require a bit of suspension of belief at points — but in this case it's forgivable. I've heard a few other people say they particularly like this one, too.
