also a massive fan of this film. It gets really bad hype though, doesn't it?
Other similar films I can think of are below.. Hope you like...
one hour photo,
the nightlistener
may,
alone with her,
Dread,
Alone,
the caller,
skeleton key,
the dark hours.

These are mainly psychological horror or thriller with twists in the story...

WoW. Thanks for all the suggestions. The only one I've seen already is The Skeleton Key and I remember I loved it. I'll sure check out all the rest. Regards from Colombia, S.A.

that is okay. some of the films suggested tip over in to the horror section but none of them are splatter movies _ I am seriously in to psychological thrillers myself...Have good weekend.

U2. BTW I was watching a movie on Fri w/ my students. We all loved it. It's called Exam (2009) Good thriller in my opinion. Have u seen it?

Fear Island

I recommend this one:

Similar scenario but much more...global and psychologically disturbing, with an older crowd of actors instead of teens.

Plot:

Locked in a 'homemade' bunker under an apartment building after escaping a nuclear attack on the country. They can probably come to the surface but risk exposeure to radiation..

So you have 9 people locked in a bunker..3 alpha males (butting heads), limited water and food.. oh, and 2 attractive females while everybody slowely loses their minds.. they have to survive eachother..

Trailer:

I'll second the recommendation of "The Divide." Although the larger context in which both films take place is radically different, they end up building very similar scenarios and exploring similar facets of human behavior. "The Divide" is B-movie territory, but solid B-movie territory.

The more recent "Hunger" reminded me of "The Hole" quite a bit in places. They're very different films but I get the same vibe nonetheless.

really good film with something in common with The Hole but I won't say more as it's a twist.... don't watch the trailer before watching the movie!!

it's a spanish thriller but you can find an english version, the dubbed version is called 'The Hidden Face' (and for some reason in french (the version I watched) it's called 'Inside')

I really liked it

reply

I know the film. I'm not sure about it being Spanish, though. I thought it was a Colombian-Spanish production. But who cares? I quite liked the film.

reply

lol I wouldn't know, I just know the language was spanish. But yeah, great film!
