Here’s all the new horror that released on Tuesday, August 18, 2026!
A demonic artifact unleashes hell in Yellow Eyes, now available on Digital.
The demonic horror movie is also now streaming exclusively on Screambox.
Yellow Eyes is directed by Jesse Korman and written by Mickey Solis.
In the film, “After inheriting his late uncle’s deteriorating home, Brad and his wife Julia discover an ancient demonic idol concealed within its walls. What initially appears to be a strange and potentially valuable artifact soon exerts a seductive influence over Brad, transforming his behavior as his eyes turn an unnatural yellow and a mysterious black oil begins to appear.
“As the idol’s influence spreads, Julia searches desperately for an explanation, only to discover that her husband is becoming the host for an ancient entity that feeds on humanity’s darkest desires. With Brad slipping further away, Julia must fight to save the man she loves and stop an insatiable evil that turns desire into addiction and demands blood to survive.”
Nena Martins, Michael Kunicki, Jimmy Chung, Margo O’Connell, and DeVaughn Loman star.
The movie is produced by Joe Swanberg and Ben Gojer.
U.S. rights to the Game of Death German splatter films were recently picked up by IMN: International Media Network, and the first two films in the franchise are now available in the U.S.
First up, Game of Death Chapter 1: The Six Doors to Hell is now available on Digital.
In Six Doors to Hell, “Set in a bleak future where the world suffocates under the iron fist of a tyrannical regime, Ken Shiro—driven by unyielding determination—embarks on a perilous mission to locate the gate to Hell and rescue his daughter from the Inferno.”
“The first installment, Six Doors, serves as an homage to martial arts and horror cinema, while Part 2, Dark Secrets, pays tribute to genre classics like The Thing and Evil Dead 2. These films deliver in a big way, and we are incredibly proud of them,” says director Timo Rose.
And speaking of Part 2…
Game of Death Chapter 2: Dark Secrets also hit Digital in the U.S. today.
The sequel was also written and directed by Timo Rose.
“The story unfolds across two converging timelines, while simultaneously jumping back to 2015 to reveal the origins of what is to come. Serving as both a sequel and a prequel, the narrative follows parallel storylines that inexorably converge, exposing hidden truths, long-buried choices, and the forces that set the apocalypse in motion. As past and future collide, so do two worlds—human and infernal—culminating in a brutal, unavoidable bloodbath that reshapes everything left standing.”
Bloodlines: Game of Death Chapter 3 is currently in pre-production and continues the saga as a direct sequel to both Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. Set just two weeks after the events of Dark Secrets, the world is still reeling from the aftermath of what was unleashed. Any illusion of safety is gone, and the boundaries between the living and the damned have begun to erode.
Stay tuned for more on Chapter 3 as we learn it.
