Movies that feel likeThe Dark Tower (2017)

A boy haunted by visions of a parallel world aids its disillusioned guardian in preventing the destruction of the nexus of universes known as the Dark Tower.

If you loved The Dark Tower, the closest films we have are X-Men: Apocalypse (2016), Alienoid (2022) and Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022). All three share The Dark Tower's dreamlike and kinetic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Krrish (2006).
