Movies that feel likeGodzilla Minus One (2023)

In postwar Japan, Godzilla brings new devastation to an already scorched landscape. With no military intervention or government help in sight, the survivors must join together in the face of despair and fight back against an unrelenting horror.

If you loved Godzilla Minus One, the closest films we have are Shin Godzilla (2016), Colony (2026) and Annihilation (2018). All three share Godzilla Minus One's cerebral and dread feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Endless (2017).

Two things both keep coming back to: monster and giant monster

The difference: Trades the melancholy of Godzilla Minus One for an angle of its own

When a massive, gilled monster emerges from the deep and tears through the city, the government scrambles to save its citizens. A rag-tag team of volunteers cuts through a web of red tape to uncover the monster's weakness and its mysterious ties to a foreign superpower. But time is not on their side - the greatest catastrophe to ever befall the world is about to evolve right before their very eyes.
