Movies that feel likeRed Eye (2005)

An overnight flight to Miami quickly becomes a battle for survival when Lisa realizes her seatmate plans to use her as part of a chilling assassination plot against the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security. If she refuses to cooperate, her own father will be killed. As the miles tick by, she's in a race against time to find a way to warn the potential victims before it's too late.

If you loved Red Eye, the closest films we have are Pi (1998), Disturbia (2007) and Three Days of the Condor (1975). All three share Red Eye's tense and twisty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Lady Vanishes (1938).
