Movies that feel likeHorns (2013)

In the aftermath of his girlfriend's mysterious death, a young man awakens to strange horns sprouting from his temples.

If you loved Horns, the closest films we have are Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010), The Tree of Life (2011) and Timecrimes (2007). All three share Horns' dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is After Life (1999).
