The Machinist (2004)


Released January 18th in the US.
Filmed entirely in Spain.
The story : Reznik is a quiet guy. He's into moping around , using bleach to wash everything - including his hands and starving himself.
He hasnt slept in a year and he works at a machine shop.
Reznik starts seeing things and at first he thinks it could quite possibly be due to the fact that he doesnt sleep.
At work , he injures a fellow employee pretty badly because of being distracted by someone somewhat threatening him.
After the incident , the rest of the employees are nervous working with him.
Reznik explains what caused the accident but no one understands what he tells them , talking of people who dont exsist and stuff.
Then he injures himself at work and gets canned for it.
All the while , that same guy who everyone is claiming doesnt exsist keeps showing up.
Now Reznik is really thinking someone is out to get him , out for revenge or something.
But he cant be sure of it as there is no proof for anyone else to see.
