I absolutely loved Take Shelter, and liked the Rover a lot. Some of your other titles sound familiar, but I will def. check out the rest of your list. Just posted mine below since we may have some overlapping tastes.

Some '70s classics along the same lines as Blue Ruin:

Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974)
Rolling Thunder (1977)

this looks good with a great cast

I'd recommend the writer/director Jeremy Saulnier's small catalog. They're all different, especially the first, Murder Party, a dark comedy, but imo they're all great.

Also, not perfect matches, but I'd suspect there would be some "fan overlap" with these dark revenge thrillers:

Wind River (2017) - have seen at least twice a year since its release. Highly recommended. Very cathartic.
Taxi Driver (1976)
Unforgiven (1992)
Let the Right One In (2008)
The Chaser (2008)
The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)
In the Fade (2017)
Deathtrap (1982)
Red (2008)
Brawl in Cell Block 99 (2017) - Highly recommend writer/director S. Craig Zahler's small catalog. He's prob. my favorite current filmmaker. Warning: very gritty and violent, but brilliantly crafted.
The Twilight Samurai (2002) - trust me, I bet you'll love this. Direcor Yamada's next samurai film, The Hidden Blade (2004) is fantastic too.
Sleepers (1996)
Hard Candy (2005)

Please do lmk if any stand out, or if you have more criteria. Plenty more recs in the vault. :D
