If you loved The Night Clerk, try Original Sin
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. 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 Michael Cristofer, and they both carry the outsider, paranoid mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Night Clerk, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Original Sin is
Cuba, 1800s. Church bells. A wealthy coffee merchant awaits the arrival of his mail-order bride from America. But her ship docks with a different woman, one with secrets rippling beneath her skin. A rote erotic thriller, yes, but it has early-aughts Jolie.
