Movies that feel likeScream 4 (2011)

Fifteen years after the original Woodsboro murders, Sidney Prescott returns home to promote her new book about surviving trauma, only for a new Ghostface killer to emerge, targeting a new group of teens.

If you loved Scream 4, the closest films we have are Paranormal Activity 3 (2011), Final Destination 5 (2011) and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019). All three share Scream 4'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 The Kingdom (1994).

The difference: Leans harder into drama than Scream 4 does

At The Kingdom, Denmark's most technologically advanced hospital, a number of strange and otherworldly events begin occurring, much to the dismay of its doctors and patients. A ghostly ambulance appears and disappears, the voice of a little girl calls to a patient in an elevator shaft, and a doctor's fetus begins growing at an alarming rate.
