Similar atmospheric films???


I am one of those people who loved film! I was wondering if anyone could suggest similar films with similar atmosphere. One of my friends suggested "The Orphanage" but any other suggestions? Any information would be helpful!

"The Others" is a good one.

The Others, The Other, Shutter (Thai film), The Woman in Black, Japanese films, The 6xth Sense, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1939).

You may want to check out:

- Les diaboliques (1955) a.k.a. Diabolique - The Awakening borrows a lot of elements from this movie.
- Shutter Island
- The Orphanage
- The Prestige
- The Illusionist
- The Others
- The Devil's Backbone
- Sleepy Hollow
- The Village
- The Sixth Sense

and maybe also:

- Death Defying Acts - lighter atmosphere, but similar topic
- Pan's Labyrinth - more fantastic/less sober
- "Whitechapel"
- From Hell
- "Sherlock", in particular episode 2.2: The Hound Of Baskerville; although the atmosphere contains also a lot of light/comedic moments.

The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh. It's creepy and interesting and there's only one actor in the movie, unless you count videos and flashbacks, and it's definitely in the same vein as this film, though it's set in modern day.
