Russia and Ukraine provide two really scary films: "Cargo 200;" "My Joy."

"Cargo," helmed by the tragically dead-way-too-young Balabanov, is the horrifying tale of a young man who takes his squeeze to buy some hooch at a remote farm house. No, it's not so easy as a Hollywood writer would imagine. Rather, this complex tale throws together a sycophantic Vietnamese farmhand, a high-ranking military officer, a local police boss, and a professor of philosophy in an unrelentingly and increasingly terrifying descent into hell.
"My Joy" traces the fearsome consequences experienced by a do-gooder truck driver who sets out to help a young teen prostitute he casually encounters.
There is nothing like this in American film. Period. The level of realism, the directorial and writing skills leave the viewer no respite: yes, these are experiences realistic enough to seriously creep you out.
