Pandorum poster

Movies that feel likePandorum (2009)

Two crew members wake up on an abandoned spacecraft with no idea who they are, how long they've been asleep, or what their mission is. The two soon discover they're actually not alone – and the reality of their situation is more horrifying than they could have imagined.

If you loved Pandorum, the closest films we have are Color Out of Space (2020), Noroi: The Curse (2005) and Resolution (2013). All three share Pandorum'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 Goodnight Mommy (2015).
