Movies that feel likeDoom (2005)

A team of space marines known as the Rapid Response Tactical Squad, led by Sarge, is sent to a science facility on Mars after somebody reports a security breach. There, they learn that the alert came after a test subject, a mass murderer purposefully injected with alien DNA, broke free and began killing people. Dr. Grimm, who is related to team member Reaper, informs them all that the chromosome can mutate humans into monsters -- and is highly infectious.

If you loved Doom, the closest films we have are Deep Blue Sea (1999), Shin Godzilla (2016) and Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (1991). All three share Doom's kinetic and dread feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Spring (2014).
