A psychic doctor, John Clancy, works with an FBI special agent in search of a serial killer.

If you loved Solace, the closest films we have are Anatomy of a Fall (2023), A Haunting in Venice (2023) and Marshland (2014). All three share Solace's tense and gritty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Lantana (2001).
