Movies that feel likeViy (1967)
If you loved Viy, the closest films we have are Kwaidan (1965), The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945) and November (2017). All three share Viy's contemplative and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Poison for the Fairies (1986).

If Viy hit the spot, these will too

Contemplative where it counts, dreamlike underneath

Dread-soaked and unsettling in the same breath
The difference: Made in the 1940s, in a different era of the craft

Both are built on the same subject: witch
The difference: Leans harder into romance than Viy does

Fantasy with a pulse of dream logic, in both cases
The difference: Takes it somewhere less contemplative than Viy does

Contemplative drama in both cases

Both lean on dread more than on horror

Both keep coming back to the same thing: village

Fantasy built on unease, twice over

Common ground: demon
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Dread-soaked horror, and it commits to that

Different title, same corner of the shelf
