Dinosaurs are back up on the big screen with It Follows director David Robert Mitchell’s The End of Oak Street now playing in theaters nationwide, and the Amblin throwback is being joined by the long-awaited Director’s Cut of the 2008 movie The X-Files: I Want to Believe, as well as the 10th anniversary theatrical re-release of one of the greatest zombie movies of all time.
Here are the new horror movies that released August 10 – August 16, 2026!
Independent Film Company’s psychosexual thriller Night Nurse is now available on Digital.
Cemre Paksoy and Bruce McKenzie star.
In the film, “At the start of her new job in a luxury retirement community, Eleni is drawn into a series of scam calls targeting the elderly residents, a pull she can’t quite name or resist. As the community’s strange rhythms close around her, she grows increasingly intimate with her elusive patient, until the line blurs between care and desire, devotion and delusion.”
Georgia Bernstein makes her feature debut as writer and director.
Mimi Rogers (Ginger Snaps) also stars in Night Nurse.
Halloween-set indie slasher The Boy from Below is now available on Digital.
Carpenter Falls is known for being the hometown of B-movie scream queen Marilyn Leigh Miller, whose death sent her 15-year-old son on a killing spree. 30 years later, an obsessed psychopath looks to pay tribute to the late actress by living out his own horror movie fantasies.
Caught in the Halloween madness is local video store clerk Quinn Curtis and her gang of movie-loving friends, whose knowledge of the genre may be their key to survival.
Spooky Madison (Phantom Fun-World), Dee Wallace (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial), Leah Voysey (Terrifier 2), Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), Chaney Morrow (Haunt), Jack Norman (The Funhouse Massacre), and filmmaker Tommy Lee Wallace (Halloween III: Season of the Witch) star.
Tory Jones (The Wicked One, Phantom Fun-World) directs from a script he co-wrote with Jerron Spencer (Phantom Fun-World). Cody Ruch handled the practical special effects.
“I think people can expect a fun slasher throwback to the era of the video filled with all the things we love as horror fans: a compelling story, lots of laughs, brutal special effects, and familiar faces synonymous with some of the greatest horror films ever made,” director Tory Jones tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’m beyond proud of how this film turned out.”
Director David Robert Mitchell (It Follows) is back this summer with dinosaurs-in-suburbia mystery box movie The End of Oak Street, and it’s now playing in theaters nationwide.
Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor come face-to-face with a monstrous threat in The End of Oak Street, which looks like M. Night Shyamalan with retro-style Amblin vibes.
As Mitchell explained to Entertainment Weekly, inspirations for the film include Jurassic Park, The Twilight Zone, Poltergeist, The Valley of Gwangi, and M. Night Shyamalan’s Signs.
The End of Oak Street is set in the early 1980s…
In the film, “After a mysterious cosmic event rips Oak Street from suburbia and transports their neighborhood to someplace unknown, the Platt family soon discovers that their very survival depends on them sticking together as they navigate their now unrecognizable surroundings.”
Maisy Stella and Christian Convery also star.
The film is written and directed by David Robert Mitchell and produced by J.J. Abrams, Hannah Minghella, Jon Cohen, David Robert Mitchell, Matt Jackson and Tommy Harper. The executive producers are Chris Bender, Jake Weiner, Joanne Lee and Leeann Stonebreaker.
The Asylum has whipped up their own supernatural mockbuster ahead of Insidious: Out of the Further, with the knockoff fright flick Insidious: Possession now available on Digital.
This probably goes without saying, but The Asylum’s Insidious: Possession has absolutely nothing to do with the actual, official Insidious franchise. Now that that’s out of the way…
In the Insidious mockbuster, “A troubled teen invites the darkest of all demons into her soul. Now it will not leave without taking the life of another, someone tied by blood to that of the possessed.”
Marcel Walz directed Insidious: Possession, written by Joshua Pruett.
Dominic Keating, Llana Barron, Krymis J Fernando, and Bryan Barron star.
As for Insidious: Out of the Further, that opens in theaters August 21, 2026.
While you wait for his brand new horror movie Colony, in theaters on August 28, South Korean filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho’s masterpiece Train to Busan is back in theaters NOW.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Train to Busan, Well Go USA Entertainment brings Yeon Sang-ho’s acclaimed zombie thriller back to theaters across the United States and Canada beginning today, and it’s presented in 4K for the first time on the big screen.
Watch the brand new 10th anniversary trailer below and get your tickets now!
Originally released in 2016, South Korean hit Train to Busan follows a group of passengers trapped in a train as they fight for survival during the outbreak of a deadly zombie virus.
The zombie movie originally made its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and went on to become a global box office hit and a defining entry in modern genre cinema.
A New York Times Critic’s Pick, Train to Busan stars Gong Yoo (“Squid Game”), Ma Dong-seok (Eternals), Choi Woo-sik (Parasite) and Kim Su-an (The Battleship Island).
“No one delivers zombie films quite like Yeon Sang-ho. Train to Busan redefined the genre for audiences around the world, and we’re excited to bring it back to theaters in 4K for its 10th anniversary,” said Doris Pfardrescher, President and CEO of Well Go USA.
The success of Train to Busan spawned follow-up Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula, as well as the animated prequel Seoul Station. Both projects were directed by Yeon Sang-ho.
A gnarly infection threatens to claw its way out of a moving camper in the claustrophobic Hellcat, and the film from director Brock Bodell is now streaming only on Shudder.
In Hellcat, “Lena wakes up in a moving camper trailer with a horrifying wound. She’s warned by the driver that they have one hour to get to a doctor, or she’ll succumb to an unimaginably awful fate. As the pain sets in and reality begins to fray, who should really be afraid?”
Dakota Gorman (Natural Disasters) leads the cast that also includes Todd Terry (“Breaking Bad”), Liz Atwater (The Other People), Jordan Mullins (The Bikeriders), and James Austin Johnson (“Saturday Night Live”) in a voice role.
Hellcat made its world premiere last summer at Fantasia.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “Hellcat is a bit of a Trojan horse horror movie that defies easy classification, by design. Brock Bodell’s sneaky debut feature is occasionally too sparse in its worldbuilding in its bid to preserve the mystery, but not enough to detract from the thrilling road thriller that transforms into a completely left-field type of horror we don’t get nearly enough of. The stripped-down tribute to a classic horror staple catches you off guard in more ways than one, marking Bodell as one to watch.”
Creator and director Chris Carter’s intended vision finally makes it to the screen in The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn, a brand new Director’s Cut version of the 2008 feature film that’s said to be both scarier and Rated R. The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn is now streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
Hulu previews this week, “The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn reimagines creator and director Chris Carter’s original vision in this all-new director’s cut.”
The new cut was first teased in an interview with director Chris Carter on the Fail Better With David Duchovny podcast from last year, where he promised a much scarier movie.
“Now I have a chance to go back and make the scary movie that I always intended to make,” Carter explained. “It’s not just doing a Director’s Cut to do a Director’s Cut. It’s really kind of bringing to life something that for me was on the page and never got to the screen.“
“We set out to make a real-life Frankenstein movie, and due to a variety of factors, our Frankenstein never completely left the operating room,” Carter tells Entertainment Weekly in a new interview this week. “A chance to apply the electrodes again was a special thrill.”
Years after walking away from the FBI, Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dr. Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) are pulled back from the shadows when a federal agent vanishes without a trace. In a case you’d never see on TV, their only lead is a disgraced, defrocked priest claiming to have horrific psychic visions of the crime. Forced to confront the ghosts of their past, the partners must navigate a chilling winter landscape and an even darker human monstrosity. The truth of these crimes is out there somewhere… and it will take Mulder and Scully to find it.
It’s been nearly twenty years since the release of The X-Files: I Want to Believe, with the 2008 movie serving as the second and last feature film based on the series.
The idea was for The X-Files: I Want to Believe to essentially be a feature length monster-of-the-week tale, and it came along ten years after the original X-Files movie. Unfortunately, while 1998’s movie scared up $189 million at the global box office, I Want to Believe ended its run with just $69 million, and the franchise later returned to the small screen in its wake.
It’s influencers vs. a vampire in Feed, now available on Digital.
In the brand new Saban Films horror movie, “Five social media influencers spend a weekend at a forest retreat but inadvertently awaken and confront the world’s first vampire.”
Feed is written and directed by Marco van Belle.
Grace Collender, Clinton Liberty, Molly McCann, Flynn Gray, Charlotte Bradley, Daisy Jelley, Rhys Mannion, Oskar Smith, Noella Brennan, Niamh Hogan, and Sadbh McMullin star.
