\n\t\u201cStrange Harvest\u201d (Releasing theatrically on Aug. 8 via Roadside Attractions and Saban Films) \u2014\u00a0Stuart Ortiz, one half of the duo behind the \u201cGrave Encounters\u201d films, helms this mockumentary about the search for a serial killer named Mr. Shiny.\u00a0It\u2019s a clever satire of true crime culture with plenty for horror fans to enjoy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWitchboard\u201d (Releasing theatrically on Aug. 15 via The Avenue and Atlas Distribution) \u2014 A sly remake of the \u201880s classic, \u201cThe Mask\u201d director Chuck Russell helms this wild tale of a Ouija board gone terribly wrong. Fun kills and a game cast keep things rolling along until a bonkers third act that strives for maximum carnage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cHell House LLC: Lineage\u201d (Releasing theatrically on Aug. 20 via Terror Films and Iconic Events) \u2014\u00a0The fifth and final film in the Abbadon Hotel saga nixes found footage in favor of a traditional feature, but promises even more haunted clown shenanigans and a story that ties the series\u2019 threads together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThe Toxic Avenger\u201d (Releasing theatrically on Aug. 28 via Cineverse) \u2014\u00a0\u201cGreen Room\u201d director Macon Blair reboots this Troma classic, which is still violent and disgusting, but with a surprisingly soulful lead performance from Peter Dinklage as Toxie. Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Kevin Bacon and Elijah Wood all come to play in this successful take on the character, which \u2014\u00a0despite a slightly larger budget \u2014\u00a0is as funny and subversive as the original.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cJimmy and Stiggs\u201d (Releasing theatrically on Aug. 15 via The Horror Section) \u2014\u00a0The first film picked up by Eli Roth\u2019s new venture, The Horror Section, Joe Begos wrote and directed this sci-fi freakout that is splattered with practical effects. Dark humor and a colorful visual style elevate this story of a man pushed to the brink as he prepares to wage war against aliens.\u00a0<\/p>\n
