Loved the vibe? Here are ten films that hit similar notes—with match scores, reasons to watch, and where to stream in the US.
Radius (2017) stuck because it commits to its thriller premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Steeve Léonard's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The thriller and drama blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.

Premonition (2007) is the kind of film Radius fans discover and immediately send to their group chat. The thriller overlap is real, but it's the tense emotional pull that seals the recommendation.

Much of what makes Radius compelling — the thriller, the horror — shows up in Sisters (1973) in a slightly different form. Both films understand that dark storytelling works best when it trusts the audience.

The thriller energy of Radius is alive in Law of Desire (1987), filtered through a different story but the same emotional register. It earns its place on this list with a funny payoff that rivals the original pick.

My Girl (1991) operates in the same drama as Radius, but with its own distinct voice and pacing. The funny payoff will feel satisfyingly familiar without retreading the same ground.

Before I Go to Sleep (2014) belongs to the same conversation as Radius — both anchor their thriller in mystery emotion that doesn't let go. The tense undercurrent connects them more than any plot summary would suggest.

If Radius's thriller stayed with you, Spellbound (1945) delivers the same sensation through an entirely different story. The mystery through-line is the real common thread between them.

Where Radius excels in drama, 1900 (1976) doubles down on history to comparable effect. The tonal similarities run deep enough that watching both back-to-back feels intentional.

Last Year at Marienbad (1961) is the natural next step after Radius: same drama DNA, different perspective. The bittersweet streak and romance elevate it well above a simple genre exercise.
