I’m reminded of the Mexican film ‘El incidente’, probably available on Netflix in your region.
World on a Wire (Welt am Draht) - German movie from 1972 similar to the Matrix. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_on_a_Wire
Stalker - Andrei Tarkovsky film from 1979 on the indifference of aliens and humans' inability to comprehend alien intelligence. Somewhat like Solaris.
The Incident (El Incidente) - a nightmare time-loop movie and possibly the most disturbing movie I've ever seen written and directed by Mexican director Isaac Ezban. You can watch it on Netflix. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3528756/
Speaking of Ezban, Cosas Feas / Nasty Stuff is a disturbing sci-fi short he did in 2009 available on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/65601847
One more: They're Made of Meat is available on YouTube and only 7 minutes long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfPdhsP8XjI starring the guy from Cash Cab.
