Movies that feel likeHope (2026)

In the remote South Korean village of Hope Harbor, police chief Bum-seok and officer Sung-ae are called to investigate a mysterious creature wreaking havoc on the community. But all is not as it seems, and perceptions can be misleading. What begins as ignorance plants the seed of disaster, escalating through human conflict into a tragedy of cosmic proportions.

If you loved Hope, the closest films we have are Marjorie Prime (2017), Krrish (2006) and The Call (2020). All three share Hope's cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Sound of My Voice (2011).
