Movies that feel likeCarrie (1976)
If you loved Carrie, the closest films we have are The Shining (1980), Martyrs (2008) and Sleep Tight (2011). All three share Carrie's dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

If Carrie hit the spot, these will too

Both are working the same pair: child abuse, isolation
The difference: Easier on the relentlessness than Carrie

Both keep coming back to the same thing: revenge
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Both land dread and unease at once
The difference: Trades the relentlessness of Carrie for an angle of its own

Common ground: child abuse
The difference: Sits closer to drama than Carrie does

One thread runs through both: isolation
The difference: Made in the 2010s, in a different era of the craft

Both are built on the same subject: revenge

The same mix in both: tension, then relentlessness

Horror built on grit, twice over

Dread-soaked thriller, and it commits to that

Horror with a pulse of unease, in both cases

Both lean on tension more than on thriller
