The Machinist
trailer here
"One day, I had this image of a sleepless, intensely private individual trapped in his own personal hell," recalls screenwriter Scott Kosar (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Amityville Horror). "Meanwhile, there is an area in my neighborhood that I always found poetically desolate - an industrial park lined by railroad tracks. Passing a machine shop, I looked inside and saw workers laboring at their tasks like extensions of their machines. I had to wonder what stories were cooking behind all that protective headgear and those greasy coveralls. Suddenly these two ideas collided and left me with a question: do machinists have existential crises?"

In theatres October 22, 2004.

Interesting idea, a character study of a machinist who is (presumably) going crazy due to the psychological implications of his work.
