Spider. 2002.

A man recently released from a psychiatric unit goes to stay in a halfway house close to where he was brought up and slowly lives out his childhood and the trauma that came along.

Ralph Fiennes plays the adult Dennis "Spider" Cleg who tries to fit back in society and slowly slips back to his childhood memories with Gabriel Byrne and Miranda Richardson as the parents, who witnesses his father's adultery that leads to murder and a new woman in his life. The film is a bit of a slow burner but does manage to keep your eyes on the screen as you do want to find out what actually unfolded in Spider's childhood and how the film will pan out in the end, but does make you wonder if everything we see did happen or are you looking through the eyes of a mentally disturbed person.
