Movies that feel likeClimax (2018)

When a dance troupe is lured to an empty school, a bowl of drug-laced sangria causes their jubilant rehearsal to descend into a dark and explosive nightmare as they try to survive the night—and find who's responsible—before it's too late.

If you loved Climax, the closest films we have are The Lure (2015), They Look Like People (2016) and Repulsion (1965). All three share Climax'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 November (2017).
