The Last Winter (2006, dir. Larry Fessenden)

An Alaskan oil company-sponsored reconnaissance team succumb one by one to a mysterious force. Solid little eco-horror drawing in equal parts from base-under siege flicks like The Thing as well as from first peoples legends. A decent crew of character actors and keen location work help no end.

Here’s the trailer.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010, dir. Samuel Bayer)

A group of teenagers are stalked by a vengeful dream demon. A well-resourced series reboot – remaking the 1984 genre classic – that works well enough on its own terms, but which doesn’t add enough (a voguish focus on the villain’s backstory aside) to make it distinctive. Fine in itself, though, if hardly memorable.
