With
Hereditary,
Unfriended: Dark Web,
The Mermaid: Lake of the Dead currently showing in cinemas, July is a decent month for horror fans.
Great news! August promises to be even better!
Here are 4 horror films to look forward to in August!
1. The Whispering
On their way to the beach, Eun-ha and her friends unexpectedly arrive at a spooky rundown house, where the owner killed his wife and daughter long ago.
Despite warnings from Shaman to stay away from this haunted house, Woo sung plots to broadcast a staged supernatural live show.
When they are shooting, each of his friends disappear one by one after hearing a whisper. And when Eun-ha tries to find her friends, she hears another whisper of somebody she knows…
Granted, this is a July release, but we thought that since it's so late into July, we can still include it in the August lineup.
Release date: 26 July

4. The First Purge
Behind every tradition lies a revolution. On the next Independence Day, witness the rise of 12 hours of annual lawlessness. Welcome to the movement that began as a simple experiment: The First Purge.
To push the crime rate below one percent for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA) test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community.
