What films you find relatable or have themes of social withdrawal?
(I rarely watch anything and forgot much of the details)
psychological themes/horror:
Marebito (man obsessed with fear),
Maniac from 1980 (serial killer >!substitutes mannequins for humans!<),
Elling (title character is taken to an institution after his mother dies, tries to integrate into society),
Suicide Room (hiki/school),
Psychometry from 2013 (detective film, more action-oriented than the others)
also saved this to my youtube watchlist (my focus is on the ocean floor level so it keeps growing): https://www.reddit.com/r/hikikomori/comments/1uhqa9k/an_old_hiki_movie/
