12 Movies Like Where The Crawdads Sing To Watch Next
The mid-2010s saw a burst of promising new horror filmmakers putting their stamp on the genre like Ari Aster, Robert Eggers, and Jordan Peele, as well as a rise of new stars in the genre. One such star is Anya-Taylor Joy, who established herself as a prominent presence in horror with films like “The Witch” (2015), “Split” (2016), and 2017’s “Marrowbone.”
Written and directed by Sergio G. Sánchez, “Marrowbone” sees Taylor-Joy in the role of Allie, a young woman living in rural Maine, who befriends a group of children that move into a house called the Marrowbone Residence. Years pass, and Allie draws closer to the oldest of the children, Jack (George MacKay). But while Allie and Jack work out their feelings for each other, dark secrets hiding in Marrowbone and the threat of the arrival of Jack’s abusive father look to derail all of their lives.
With a young cast of promising actors and an emotional narrative threading throughout the film, “Marrowbone” relies more on an atmosphere of psychological fear rather than jump scares to make an impression on audiences. “Where the Crawdads Sing” allows the audience to root for the protagonist despite the accusations leveled at her and “Marrowbone” operates in the same way. You can’t help but hope that Allie, Jack, and his siblings find a way out of their problems after years of abuse and isolation.
