Movies that feel likePriest (2011)

In an alternate world, humanity and vampires have warred for centuries. After the last Vampire War, the veteran Warrior Priest lives in obscurity with other humans inside one of the Church's walled cities. When the Priest's niece is kidnapped by vampires, the Priest breaks his vows to hunt them down. He is accompanied by the niece's boyfriend, who is a wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess.

If you loved Priest, the closest films we have are Tale of Tales (2015), Day Watch (2006) and Tigers Are Not Afraid (2017). All three share Priest's dreamlike and dread feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Oculus (2014).
