Movies that feel like The Incomer (2026)
On an Orkney isle, siblings Isla and Sandy survive by hunting seabirds, retelling the stories of their ancestors, and defending the isle from dreaded "Incomers". Their world is upended with the arrival of an awkward council worker who has come to uproot them from their homeland.
If you loved The Incomer, the closest films we have are Hit the Road (2021), Adrift in Tokyo (2007) and Caramelo (2025). All three share The Incomer's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Genevieve (1953).
