Movies that feel likeGhost Rider (2007)

In order to save his dying father, young stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze sells his soul to Mephistopheles and sadly parts from the pure-hearted Roxanne Simpson, the love of his life. Years later, Johnny's path crosses again with Roxanne, now a go-getting reporter, and also with Mephistopheles, who offers to release Johnny's soul if Johnny becomes the fabled, fiery 'Ghost Rider'.

If you loved Ghost Rider, the closest films we have are Hellboy (2004), The Old Guard (2020) and Underworld (2003). All three share Ghost Rider's kinetic and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Crow (1994).

Hellboy poster
Hellboy
2004 · dir. Guillermo del Toro
🍅 81%★ 6.9fantasy · action

A demon hero working off his hellish origins in a fire-and-brimstone world

The difference: Del Toro's warmth and monster humor swap in for Blaze's lonely damnation

In the final days of World War II, the Nazis attempt to use black magic to aid their dying cause. The Allies raid the camp where the ceremony is taking place, but not before they summon a baby demon who is rescued by Allied forces and dubbed "Hellboy". Sixty years later, Hellboy serves the cause of good rather than evil as an agent in the Bureau of Paranormal Research & Defense, along with Abe Sapien - a merman with psychic powers, and Liz Sherman - a woman with pyrokinesis, protecting America against dark forces.

The Old Guard poster

Day Watch poster
Day Watch
2006 · dir. Timur Bekmambetov
🍅 62%★ 6.4fantasy · action · adventure

Apocalyptic bargains and neon-lit supernatural chaos

The Crow poster
The Crow
1994 · dir. Alex Proyas
🍅 88%★ 7.5fantasy · action · thrillerParamount+Peacock

Another haunted Marvel loner from the very same director, same pulpy era

The difference: Grounded street vigilante stuff — no devil, no flaming spectacle

Music-video maximalism — reality bending around one tormented soul

The difference: Its fantasy is a coping dream, and the bleakness cuts far deeper

Streetwise pulp where the supernatural rides shotgun with cops
