  • The Witch

    2015 · Horror

    A family thrown out of their New England settlement in the 1630s try to farm a patch of land at the edge of a wood, and things go wrong from the first week. Slow, spoken in old English, and grim throughout.

    Little-known

    93% alike

    2015 · Horror

    Two students are left behind at a Catholic boarding school over the winter break, while a young woman hitches a ride through the snow toward them. Very slow, very quiet, and told out of order.

    91% alike

    2007 · Horror

    A woman moves back into the seaside orphanage she grew up in to reopen it as a home for children, and her young son starts talking about friends nobody else can see. An old-fashioned ghost story built on quiet, not jump scares.
