A movie that is definitely down my alley is Nicholas Cage's 2009 release "Knowing". I've only just come across this but I love these types of movies and Cage has slowly grown on me the last few years so it's defiantly one to watch.
Synopsis:
A teacher (Cage) opens a time capsule that has been dug up at his son's elementary school; in it are some chilling predictions -- some that have already occurred and others that are about to -- that lead him to believe his family plays a role in the events that are about to unfold.
