Movies that feel likeFaust (1926)
If you loved Faust, the closest films we have are The Phantom Carriage (1921), The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945) and Nosferatu (1922). All three share Faust's dreamlike and dread feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Poison for the Fairies (1986).

If Faust hit the spot, these will too

The same two preoccupations: death, and silent film

The same mix in both: dream logic, then stillness

F. W. Murnau directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Easier on the stillness than Faust

Both land dread and unease at once
The difference: 39 years apart, and the 1960s show

Fantasy with a pulse of dream logic, in both cases

Contemplative drama, and it commits to that
The difference: Leans harder into romance than Faust does

The same preoccupation in both: silent film
The difference: Takes it somewhere less dreamlike than Faust does

Both lean on dread more than on horror

Unsettling fantasy in both cases

Horror built on dream logic, twice over

Both are built on the same subject: death

Drama with a pulse of dread, in both cases
In the mood for more dreamlike?
