Movies that feel likeThe Endless (2017)

Two brothers return to the cult they fled from years ago to discover that the group's beliefs may be more sane than they once thought.

If you loved The Endless, the closest films we have are The Innkeepers (2012), 28 Weeks Later (2007) and Spring (2014). All three share The Endless' dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Borderlands (2014).
