Movies that feel likeGaslight (1944)

A newlywed fears she's going mad when strange things start happening at the family mansion.

If you loved Gaslight, the closest films we have are The Testament of Dr. Mabuse (1933), And Then There Were None (1945) and The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927). All three share Gaslight's twisty and gritty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Naked City (1948).
