Movies that feel likeLe Corbeau (1943)

Remy Germain is a doctor in a French town who becomes the focus of a vicious smear campaign, as letters accusing him of having an affair and performing unlawful abortions are mailed to village leaders. The mysterious writer, who signs each letter as "Le Corbeau" (The Raven) soon targets the whole town, exposing everyone's dark secrets.

If you loved Le Corbeau, the closest films we have are Saboteur (1942), The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) and Diabolique (1955). All three share Le Corbeau's twisty and tense feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

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