Movies that feel likeAudition (2000)

Seven years after the death of his wife, widower Shigeharu seeks advice on how to find a new wife from a colleague. Taking advantage of their position as a film company, they stage an audition. Interviewing a series of women, Shigeharu is enchanted by the quiet Asami. But soon things take a twisted turn as Asami isn’t what she seems to be.

If you loved Audition, the closest films we have are Funny Games (1997), Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) and Let the Right One In (2008). All three share Audition'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 The Wolf Man (1941).
