If you loved Black Box, try The Residence

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Residence has roughly 20.1× fewer votes than Black Box — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Yann Gozlan, and they both carry the paranoid, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Black Box, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Residence is

A Paris suburb under violet streetlamps, winter 2043. A small silver key card clicks against a turnstile. A novelist rents a glass-walled apartment in a gleaming complex where residents never seem to leave. Her AI whispers plots that feel too real, too late. A wry nod to Argento meets Ballard—still life turned surveillance.
