4 carefully selected movies like The Conjuring — and the one to watch next
If The Conjuring worked for you, this is not a list based on genre alone. We compared atmosphere, emotion, pace, twists, humour, romance, scale and realism to find the strongest second feature.
RankThatMovie Match Report · editorially prepared by RankThatMovie
Verdict
Hereditary is the strongest adult follow-up because the haunting grows from family grief, performance and the fear that a home can inherit damage.
Watch this route if…
You want domestic horror built through atmosphere, family vulnerability and patient escalation.
Skip this route if…
You want another reassuring supernatural investigation with clear heroes and a clean release.
Three reasons it works
- The family relationship makes every supernatural event matter.
- Sound and negative space do more work than gore.
- The house becomes a readable geography of fear.
Two important differences
- Hereditary is bleaker and offers no comforting investigators.
- The Witch is period horror with archaic language and slower escalation.

How this ranking works
Movie DNA compares eight story-and-feeling signals, then adds genre overlap and RankThatMovie’s trust-adjusted quality signal. It does not copy a platform’s “users also watched” row. Availability is regional and can change.
