Gerald’s Game (2017)

Mike Flanagan’s 2017 Stephen King adaptation follows the psychologically intense, hallucinogenic mind spiral traveled by a woman (Carla Gugino) left handcuffed to the bed in an isolated vacation house when her husband suddenly dies of a heart attack. Her most distressing—but also, as it turns out, most useful—flashback takes us to a childhood memory of being abused by her father during a solar eclipse. (Streaming on Netflix.)
