Heres our monthly rundown of all the horror flicks dropping and departing from your favorite streaming services in August 2022.
Welcome to Horrorscope, a monthly column keeping horror nerds and initiates up to date on all the horror content coming to and leaving from your favorite streaming services. Heres what to watch in August 2022:
Ah, yes, the greatest jump scare of all: August. How the hell are we already two-thirds of the way through 2022? Why must time trudge forward with the unstoppable focus of a dead-eyed slasher villain?
Well, thats enough hemming and hawing. Many folks enjoy summer, Im told. And if youre in the right hemisphere and far enough away from the equator, youre no doubt enjoying some splendid sunny days. (And hey, who knows, maybe some forest fires or a heat wave or two).
So all that said, be sure to peruse the complete list below, calendar in hand, for a full picture of what horror movies are coming and going from your favorite streaming services in August 2022. Keep in mind that all dates listed below may not apply to viewers outside the US.
Synopsis: In the shadow of an immense Norwegian housing complex, four young children spend their holidays discovering out of sight and mind of watchful adults that they have superpowers. While they experiment and test the boundaries of their newfound abilities in the local forest, playtime takes a dark turn.
Eskil Vogt is back, baby. The frequent creative collaborator of Joachim Trier (Vogts co-writer on The Worst Person in the World and Thelma, among other projects) makes his sophomore debut with this twisty supernatural thriller about playground play gone wrong. As our own Rob Hunter notes, Vogt is keenly interested in the coming-of-age genre which horror counts as a frequent bedfellow. Kids are always trying to determine lifes limits. And when said kids are gifted with telepathy and telekinesis, disaster and tragedy are never far behind. Dark, dreamy, and a formidable entry in the fuck them kids sub-genre, ensure that The Innocentshas a spot on your watchlist this month.
Available on Shudder on August 18th.
Synopsis: Naru, a skilled Comanche warrior, sets off into the Great Plains to track down the threat that has been menacing her home. The hunted soon reveals itself to be a hunter when Naru finds her titular prey is, in fact, a predator from another world.
If youve been twiddling your thumbs waiting for10 Cloverfield Lanedirector Dan Trachtenbergto make another movie, good news: Prey (2022) is on the way!With a proven ability to breathe fresh life into genre franchises, Trachtenbergs stab at the fifth entry in the Predator series (seventh, if we want to count theAlien vs. Predator spin-offs) is easily one of the years most anticipated offerings for fans of sci-fi horror hybrids. And according to friend of the site Matt Donato over at Paste,Preyis the bestPredatorfilm since the Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring original!
Starring Fort Peck Sioux Tribe-member Amber Midthunder, old Predatorfans and soon-to-be Predatorfans alike would do well to keep an eye on this one. (If, for nothing else, to answer the question of whythe film has had such a bizarre release plan. Curse you, internal studio politics this would have been a hoot to see on the big screen!).
Available on Hulu on August 5th.
Synopsis: Now that the cat is out of the bag (namely, that nine-year-old Esther is, in fact, a full-grown adult with proportional dwarfism), audiences want to know how the titular Estonian orphan went from a straightjacket to an adoption list. Detailing her escape from a psychiatric facility and first murderous foray on American soil, this prequel aims to unpack what makes Esther tick.
Since its release in 2009, Jaume Collet-Serras Orphan has steadily emerged as one of the cult classics of the early 21st century. Distinguished by its infamously shocking twist, audience interest in one of horrors greatest villainesses has gone unanswered for far too long! And with Isabelle Fuhrman reprising her role as the titular orphan, fans can look forward to more of Esthers creepy capers.
Available on Paramount+ on August 19th.
Synopsis: Corporate profiteers are looking to turn the Maine forest into a dumping ground. But all the dead bodies from rogue animal attacks are really messing with their ability to do business. A husband and wife team heads out into the woods to investigate the local lumber company accused of polluting the local water supply. And, as they soon learn, this careless dumping has had some unintended side effects on the local wildlife.
In our other recommendations, youve got three countem: three brand hot spankin new genre releases. If I didnt include at least one golden oldie on here, the universe would be fundamentally out of whack. And we cant have that now, can we?
The proud owner of one of horrors grooviest movie posters (no, really, it rips), 1979sProphecymay not be well respected or well made, but dont let that turn you off. Director John Frankenheimerbrings a steady hand to everything he touches, and David Seltzers thematically sound script makes this a rock-solid entry in the eco-horror subgenre. Come for the man-in-a-suit creature effects. Stay for the greatest sleeping bag death to ever grace the silver screen.
Available on Paramount+ and Prime Video on August 1st.
