Movies that feel likeSilent Hill (2006)

Rose, a desperate mother, takes her adopted daughter, Sharon, to the town of Silent Hill in an attempt to cure her of her ailment. After a violent car crash, Sharon disappears, and Rose embarks on a horrific journey to get her back and begins to uncover the truth behind the apocalyptic disaster that burned the town 30 years earlier.

If you loved Silent Hill, the closest films we have are Saw (2004), Longlegs (2024) and Scream (1996). All three share Silent Hill's dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018).
