Movies that feel like Hope (2026)

If you loved Hope, the closest films we have are Marjorie Prime (2017), The End of Oak Street (2026) and Rojo (2018). All three share Hope's twisty feel, which is what we rank on before quality. 6 of the 12 picks below are included with a subscription right now on Netflix Standard with Ads, MUBI and ARROW and others, checked against today's data.

In the remote South Korean village of Hope Harbor, police chief Bum-seok and officer Sung-ae are called to investigate a mysterious creature wreaking havoc on the community. But all is not as it seems, and perceptions can be misleading. What begins as ignorance plants the seed of disaster, escalating through human conflict into a tragedy of cosmic proportions.
