Movies that feel likeMarshland (2014)

The Spanish Deep South, 1980. A series of brutal murders of adolescent girls in a remote and forgotten town bring together two disparate characters – both detectives in the homicide division – to investigate the cases.

If you loved Marshland, the closest films we have are The Girl in the Fog (2017), Colors of Evil: Red (2024) and Bacurau (2019). All three share Marshland's gritty and twisty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927).
