Movies like Seraphim Falls

Quentin Tarantino's 'The Hateful Eight' channels the suspense and mistrustful alliances found in 'Seraphim Falls'. While offering a more contemporary and dialogue-heavy twist to the genre, it should satiate those looking for complex characters trapped together by circumstance.

Clint Eastwood's 'Unforgiven' is a dark and introspective look at the myths versus the realities of the West. It shares with 'Seraphim Falls' a sober approach to the consequences of violence and past sins, making it a must-watch for those intrigued by the darker side of human nature.

Both the original 'True Grit' from 1969 and the Coen Brothers' 2010 rendition offer the story of a determined quest for justice in the old west. With a headstrong protagonist and a relentless pursuit, 'True Grit' shares with 'Seraphim Falls' a narrative drive and a compelling depiction of western landscapes and spirit.

Reviving the traditional western, '3:10 to Yuma' pits a small-time rancher against a notorious outlaw leader, with edge-of-the-seat tension and moral quandaries akin to 'Seraphim Falls'. Its focus on character depth and a similarly treacherous journey through the frontier will captivate audiences who appreciate the genre's blend of action and psychological drama.

Delving into myth and the reality of western legends, 'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford' is a hauntingly beautiful film with a slow, contemplative pace that fans of the character-driven narrative in 'Seraphim Falls' will appreciate.

Kevin Costner's 'Open Range', focusing on free grazers who clash with a corrupt sheriff, is steeped in the classic imagery and moral themes of westerns. Like 'Seraphim Falls', it delves into the intricacies of the human soul, faced with the backdrop of the expansive American West.
