Movies that feel likeConstantine (2005)

John Constantine has literally been to Hell and back. When he teams up with a policewoman to solve the mysterious suicide of her twin sister, their investigation takes them through the world of demons and angels that exists beneath the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles.

If you loved Constantine, the closest films we have are Hellboy (2004), Oculus (2014) and Tigers Are Not Afraid (2017). All three share Constantine'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 Poison for the Fairies (1986).
