Primer 2004
Libby, who is purportedly not that into movies, has seen lots of sci-fi deep cuts like this one. Apparently, Primer is peak independent cinema for her.

I’ll always remember this as the cool older kids’ horror movie that aired closer to midnight on Halloween night (the candy sorting hour), on TNT or some other big network. Really glad to revisit it now.
Not only does it work on the surface level as a slasher, but also as a commentary…
