Enemy (2014)

Sad-sack history professor notices that an extra in a movie he’s rented looks an awful lot like himself. He gets a bit obsessed and tracks down his contact information and convinces the actor to meet in real life. But the actor's a little off -- instead of being amazed and excited, he decides to figure out how to make it as weird as possible by insisting that he should take the professor's girlfriend on a weekend getaway. Since the opening scene of this film was one where the actor was enjoying a fancy masturbation show in a sex club, I probably should’ve assumed that this guy was not gonna react normally.

This is one of those films that works hard to keep you off-balance. For example there was a nightmare sequence involving a room-filling spider. If it had just been told straight rather than adding an unnecessary extra layer of what-the-fuckery on top, this could have been OK. As it was, I just felt kind of like I'd been the target of a weird joke.
