Loved the vibe? Here are ten films that hit similar notes—with match scores, reasons to watch, and where to stream in the US.
The Nun II (2023) stuck because it commits to its horror premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Michael Chaves's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The film leans hard into its core genre, which is exactly what fans say they wanted more of from blockbusters in that era.
