Movies that feel likeScream 3 (2000)

As bodies begin dropping around the Hollywood set of STAB 3, the third film based on the gruesome Woodsboro killings, Sidney and other survivors are once again terrorized by another Ghostface killer.

If you loved Scream 3, the closest films we have are The Blackcoat's Daughter (2017), The Legend of Hell House (1973) and You're Next (2013). All three share Scream 3's dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Cat People (1942).
