Films with a similar sense of dread and night-time setting?


The atmosphere in this film is something else. Looking for others like it. Cheers.

Check out Collateral.

A cab driver finds himself the hostage of an engaging contract killer as he makes his rounds from hit to hit during one night in Los Angeles.

The previously mentioned Collateral (2004) is indeed a great one. Nightcrawler (2014) is easily one of the best in this department, too.


Also...
Good Time (2017)
Drive (2011) - to a certain extent
The Game (1997)
After Hours (1985)
Judgment Night (1993)
The Purge: Anarchy (2014)


Mainly set at night, ominous tone throughout them, atmospheric...
