I morti di Alos (2011)
Alos is Gairo, a small town in Sardinia. Ghost town, now uninhabited. To tell the story is the Sardinian director Daniele Atzeni, a delicate and refined documentary filmmaker who narrates life stories of mines, workers and fishermen. A Sardinia unknown to most, forgotten by many.

Instant Favorite.
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
