Movies that feel likeTell No One (2006)

A man receives a mysterious email appearing to be from his wife, who was murdered years earlier. As he frantically tries to find out whether she's alive, he finds himself being implicated in her death.

If you loved Tell No One, the closest films we have are Lantana (2001), A Haunting in Venice (2023) and The Vanishing (1988). All three share Tell No One's twisty and melancholy feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Everybody Knows (2018).
