Movies that feel likeIncantation (2022)

Inspired by the true story of a family who believed they were possessed by spirits. This film follows a woman who must protect her child from a curse.

If you loved Incantation, the closest films we have are The Medium (2021), Veronica (2017) and The Eye (2002). All three share Incantation'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 Terrifier 2 (2022).
