Netflix heats up the month of July with the premiere of the third season of Stranger Things and horror classics like Cloverfield and Scream 3. Check out what else the streaming giant has to offer.
July 1:
Cloverfield – In this found-footage style film, six NYC residents attempt to evade a gigantic monster attacking the city. Cloverfield was filmed in a shaky camera style that prompted critic Roger Ebert to dub it “La Shakily Queasy-Cam.”

Meanwhile, actors on the set of the movie-within-a-movie Stab 3 are being killed off one by one. Here is a piece of trivia for film buffs: Scream 3 features an appearance by Roger Corman, the legendary creator of B-movies such as Little Shop of Horrors.
