If It Follows hit the spot, these will too

Dread that tightens as the rules of the horror slowly reveal themselves
The difference: One confined night in a morgue — claustrophobia over open-air unease

The same preoccupation in both: entity

Possession creeping through ordinary lives with mounting inevitability
The difference: A slow-burn mockumentary that erupts into far grislier extremes

The terror of being hunted by something you never quite see
The difference: Shaky handheld realism — improvised panic over composed style

Evil that spreads like an infection while every explanation crumbles
The difference: A sprawling village mystery — grief and ambiguity over sleek style

The same mix in both: dread, then unease

Death as an unstoppable force that simply waits its turn
The difference: Gory Rube Goldberg set pieces — carnival ride, not creeping dread


Mystery built on dread, twice over

A returned loved one who brings something ancient home with her
The difference: Bigger mythology and monster spectacle — less intimate menace

A curse with rules, a countdown and no mercy for the curious
The difference: An investigation drives it — solving, not fleeing, the horror

Horror with a pulse of unease, in both cases
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair
