Movies that feel likeDevil (2010)

A group of people are trapped in an elevator high above Philadelphia, and one of them is the Devil.

If you loved Devil, the closest films we have are Resolution (2013), Goodnight Mommy (2015) and Noroi: The Curse (2005). All three share Devil'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).
