Movies that feel likeHäxan (1922)
If you loved Häxan, the closest films we have are The Phantom of the Opera (1925), White Zombie (1932) and The Wolf Man (1941). All three share Häxan's dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Black Cat (1934).

If Häxan hit the spot, these will too

Both keep coming back to the same thing: black and white
The difference: Easier on the stillness than Häxan


The same mix in both: stillness, then dread
The difference: Sits closer to drama than Häxan does

One thread runs through both: superstition

Unsettling where it counts, epic underneath


Both lean on stillness more than on documentary

History built on unease, twice over

Contemplative horror, and it commits to that

Both are built on the same subject: demon
The difference: Made in the 1960s, in a different era of the craft

Documentary with a pulse of scale, in both cases

Dread-soaked history, and it commits to that
In the mood for more contemplative?
