SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Isaac Ezban’s earlier nightmare similarly traps ordinary people in an impossible space, building dread through repetition, escalating paranoia, and a tightly controlled, retro-tinged high-concept premise.
02
Why this pick
Another Ezban genre puzzle, this one combines Mexican folklore, stylized imagery, and steadily tightening unease; it shares The Similars’ affection for heightened atmosphere and unsettling revelations.
03
Why this pick
A small-town night is overtaken by a mysterious broadcast in this patient, period-inflected sci-fi thriller. Its radio-led suspense and growing sense of communal dislocation closely fit The Similars.
04
Why this pick
A strange transmission fractures everyday behavior across a city, delivering escalating paranoia and apocalyptic unease with the same interest in how people react when reality abruptly changes.
05
Why this pick
A visually elaborate Argentine dystopian fable about mass control and lost voices, it shares The Similars’ theatrical artificiality, retro-media obsession, and surreal unease.

01 / THE STORY
Ulises becomes frustrated when he is stuck in a bus depot during a massive storm while his wife gives birth in nearby Mexico City. The elderly clerk, Martin, tells him that the storm has temporarily stopped the bus service. Intermittent broadcasts on Martin's radio report increasingly worse news, eventually revealing that the storm is suspected to be a worldwide phenomenon of unknown origin. Ulises attempts to call the hospital with the station's payphone, only to be disconnected after a brief exchange that only worries him further. Ulises asks to use Martin's phone, but Martin says he does not have an outside line.
