Movies Like "Get Out": "Scream" (1996)

Whereas "Get Out" reinvented the psychological thriller, the "Scream" franchise is more of a reinvention of the slasher-horror genre. Still, the satire in the modern horror classic served as one of Peele's influences for "Get Out." In the 1996 film, a masked, knife-wielding killer named Ghostface stalks and targets a teenage girl and her friends in middle class suburbia. The opening scene of Ghostface tormenting Drew Barrymore over the phone before killing her is not only unforgettable, but it's also recognised as iconic by pop-culture-obsessed horror fans. While this film has a ton of jump scares and plenty of frights, it'll also make you laugh with its campy sequences. Horror-movie fans will appreciate all the references to other horror movies sprinkled throughout.
