The Usual Suspects meets Memento except you don't see it coming and it has good comic relief.

sleep no more
Adult haunted house as a teaser for a fabulous restaurant.
Sleep No More is an interactive play going on in NYC. They've converted a few warehouses into a giant 6 story set with a flapper era/speakeasy theme, two bars and a restaurant. The set decoration and costumes are fabulous, the music is disturbing and haunting, and it is loosely based on Macbeth.
I was caught up in exploring the sets. I should have followed the actors for I missed the ending of the show. The sets were amazingly well-appointed and each room was creepier than the next. There was a "safe" room, the Speakeasy itself, where one could sit and listen to a fantastic band and singer while drinking cocktails and taking off the mask they made you wear in the stage area.
After the play, the hostess managed to squeeze me into a table at the restaurant. The food is amazing and worth it. I suggest reservations be made as they are packed when the play ends.

Byzantium
Secret vampire society, no girls allowed.
Retelling, can walk in daylight, no sparkles, everyone out to get them, etc.
Lovely costumes during the back story bits, bleak scenery of winter in the English seaside, love, loss, greed, redemption. I thought the ending a little too pat, as though they had an alternate but those crazy Americans in the test audience wanted a happy finish. Saoirse Ronin was amazing as usual. And I could watch Gemma Arterton in anything.

Hodejegerne (Headhunters)
Little movie from Norway about motivations and miscommunications...
It's convoluted and fun and you won't mind the subtitles.
