In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Apartment Zero (1988)
A thriller by Martin Donovan.
A man who runs a theater gets a strange new roommate. Meanwhile, at the theater, the ticket seller hosts a committee to view death squad videos in an attempt to identify the men in them.
This film was slow and strange. The characters and plot were complex, but the style was deceptively mundane. It wasn't Hollywood bullshit, but didn't seem like a totally underground independent film either. I'm rating it adequate.
