It’s the final week of July and two more new horror movies are headed onto the big screen this weekend. They’ll have to compete with the #Barbenheimer phenomenon, but both new horror releases look to bring very different counter programming to the box office. One is the next rated “R” fright fest from A24, while the other is a horror-comedy built for families.

Here’s all the new horror releasing July 25– July 30, 2023!

For daily reminders about new horror releases, be sure to follow @HorrorCalendar.

First up, a tragedy leads two dysfunctional families to intertwine in disturbing ways in Screambox Exclusive Repulse, now streaming on the Bloody Disgusting-powered platform.

The bleak, brutal Czech film harkens back to boundary-pushing horror like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes.

In the film, Kateřina and Robert raise their young daughter in a luxurious modern villa, but their family life can hardly be called harmonious.

Let’s firstly address the biggest question; is it vital to see 2020’s Ouija Shark before this sequel? Will the plot intricacies be lost on anybody who missed director Brett Kelly’s third shark-centric feature? Worry not, as a catch-up is offered in the opening moments courtesy of Anthony (writer/director/star John Migliore). Speaking through a mystical ball, the magician recaps the first film’s events where his daughter’s aquatic discovery of a Ouija board released the Ouija Shark onto the world before its banishment resulted in Anthony being trapped in hell.

The sequel journeys to the location of eternal damnation and brimstone, as Anthony pursues the eponymous shark to try and stop its rampage. Meanwhile, a rescue plan is being formed by his wife,...

Behemoth Release Details: "Behemoth is the striking debut of Peter Sefchik, who has used his vast experience creating CG creatures for blockbuster films to craft an ambitious independent feature packed with monsters and demons unlike anything seen on its budget level.

Joshua Riverton spent ten years working for a global chemical behemoth, notorious for their environmental negligence. When his daughter develops a mysterious illness, he steps forward as a whistle-blower, throwing his life into chaos. He's convinced that his company's negligence has made his daughter sick, and there are dark forces hiding the truth.

When given the chance to confront his old boss, Dr. Woeland, he allows a standoff to escalate into violence, and Josh is shot in the process. Now Josh is on the run, eating painkillers, and holding Woeland hostage. Josh demands answers about his daughter's illness, but with each passing moment around Woeland, Josh's grasp on reality begins to unravel.

Where to start with Konga TNT? How about the same place I started with when reviewing director Brett Kelly’s Ouija Shark… in that you really have to be in the right mindset to watch Kelly’s particular brand of low-budget genre fare. Or ridiculously drunk and/or wasted!

Like Ouija Shark, Konga TNT harkens back to the shot on video era of filmmaking, where friends got together to make films that remarkably made it to video stores, thanks to a film-hungry rental market. Of course here we’re obviously dealing with mofre modern technology but the ethos behind it still feels very old-school. In this case Kelly apparently shot footage with his kids during lockdown to keep them occupied and...

Stars: Steph Goodwin, Kylie Gough, Robin Hodge, John Migliore, Amy Osborne, Christina Roman, Zoe Towne, Peter Whittaker | Written by David A. Lloyd | Directed by Scott Patrick (aka Brett Kelly)

Director Brett Kelly, under his Scott Patrick pseudonym, re-teams with writer David A. Lloyd for the duos Third shark movie – possibly the craziest of the three… Ouija Shark. Yes, Ouija Shark. As if we need Another supernatural shark movie after the brilliance (and no I’m Not being sarcastic) that was Griff Furst’s Ghost Shark.

With a title like Ouija Shark you’re either all in or you’re running a thousand miles in the other direction… so to try and convince you to watch this one, if it sounds like your idea of hell, would seem like folly. But I’m going to try!

Ouija Shark follows a group of teenage girls who, whilst partying in their back yard,...

Romero's Night of the Living Dead is considered public domain, an unofficial sequel on the film is in the works, titled Night of the Living Dead: Genesis, in which Judith O'Dea steps back into the role of Barbra, giving us an idea of what happened to her after she was pulled through that doorway over 45 years ago.
