Coma poster

Movies that feel likeComa (1978)

When relatively healthy patients begin having 'complications' during simple operations and ending up in comas, a concerned doctor defies her male superiors when she suspects a secret plot.

If you loved Coma, the closest films we have are Long Weekend (1979), The House That Screamed (1969) and Noroi: The Curse (2005). All three share Coma's tense and twisty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Even the Wind Is Afraid (1968).
