Movies that feel likeAnd Then There Were None (1945)

Ten strangers are summoned to a remote island and while they are waiting for the mysterious host to appear, a recording levels serious accusations at each of the guests. Soon they start being murdered, one by one. As the survivors try to keep their wits, they reach a disturbing conclusion: one of them must be the killer.

If you loved And Then There Were None, the closest films we have are Anatomy of a Murder (1959), In the Heat of the Night (1967) and 12 (2007). All three share And Then There Were None's gritty and contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is After Dark, My Sweet (1990).
