Movies that feel likeCrimson Peak (2015)

In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds… and remembers.

If you loved Crimson Peak, the closest films we have are Goodnight Mommy (2015), Resolution (2013) and Sinister (2012). All three share Crimson Peak's dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Finders Keepers (2014).
