I liked "U Turn" https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0120399/ https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0120399/ (set in small town Arizona) I've heard good things about Shetland and Broadchurch, but I'm yet to watch them.

Top of the lake, broadchurch, sharp objects. Those are all tv series.

  I loved Top of the Lake. It was a very relatable TV show for me as a New Zealander. That kind of thing does actually happen in rural NZ, although I would've said it's stereotypically more a Northland than a Southland thing.

  Try 'The Loch' (or 'Loch Ness', the US title). Nice bit of Scottish small town murder. Also, 'Shetland' - you can't get more 'small town' than that (in the UK).

  Trapped, Icelandic TV series, is also very good. Also you may like 'The Fall' (a slightly different genre, but bone chilling)

This is a theme of pretty much everything Stephen King has ever written.

Hot Fuzz, U-Turn, Dogville (others already mentioned them). Deliverance (of course) The Lottery ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116924/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116924/ tv movie, based on a great short story) The Wicker Man Twin Peaks Cold in July

  Also, "The Trouble with Harry", although not the best Hitchcock.

In Galicia (NW region of Spain) there is a TV series called "Serramoura" which elevates this to ridiculous levels. The series is supposed to take place in a very small town (maybe 20 people or so) but the series' death toll is probably like 50 by now (they are in season 8). At the beginning I think there were only sawmill enterprise conflicts for land, but now the viewers have seen arms trafficking, drugs trafficking, Russian mafias, mass kidnapping... and probably more (I don't even watch it, this is what I have picked up just from looking at parts of chapters from time to time). When I see my partner watching it casually, I always joke that I don't understand how there are still survivors in Serramoura and how people still go live there, it would probably be less dangerous to go to a city in war. I wouldn't exactly "recommend" the series and don't even know if it has been translated to any other languages than Galician, but just wanted to share because I find it funny.
