Directed by Sam Raimi, the movie is filled with disturbing visuals, jump scares, gruesome murders, and even zombies. If you enjoyed all of the above, here are similarly recommended horror movies to watch for an emotional thrill ride.

The Evil Dead (1981/1987)

This is the cult classic horror movie that was the start of Sam Raimi's career. The original Evil Dead and its sequel, Evil Dead 2, are a blend of comedy and horror that showcase Raimi's talent for shocking yet humorous scenes.

Fans of the Raimi style will enjoy the campy fun of the Evil Dead films as an insight into the roots of the director.

Malignant (2021)

Malignant combines campy horror with gory fun for a unique and entertaining experience, paying homage to '70s thrillers.

The film revolves around a young woman tormented by visions of the brutal acts of a serial killer, and while it is rooted in science rather than dark magic, it still delivers a playful and gory atmosphere so similar to Sam Raimi's vision.

Jacob's Ladder (1990)

Directed by Adrian Lyne, this psychological horror follows the story of Jacob Singer, a Vietnam War veteran who experiences disturbing hallucinations and nightmarish visions.

Known for its atmospheric storytelling and mind-bending narrative, the film blurs the lines between dream and reality, exploring themes of guilt, trauma, and the nature of perception, just like Wanda's experience in Madness Multiverse.

In the Mouth of Madness (1994)

According to the movie's title, one of the things that will certainly reflect Sam Raimi's vision of the Doctor Strange universe is madness. In Mouth of Madness’ story follows an insurance detective assigned to find a missing horror writer.

The film delves into the psychological and supernatural elements of horror along with madness and the nightmarish world.

Brightburn (2019)

Shot by another MCU gem, James Gunn, this horror masterpiece went relatively unnoticed in 2019. The film tells the story of a young alien with superhuman powers who goes on a murderous killing spree.

While the movie may be lacking in terms of storytelling and characters, it does excel in terms of its impressive gore makeup and creative kills.

If you liked Doctor Strange sequel's fallen hero concept, Brightburn is worth checking out, especially for its intense final sequence.
