Matt Smith leads Starve Acre and 4 more horror titles releasing this week

BBG News

As a dedicated fan of both horror movies and HBO’s fantasy universe, I can hardly contain my excitement as we approach yet another thrilling week in the world of entertainment! Not only do we have two esteemed actors from the Game of Thrones family gracing our screens with new horrors, but we also have the season finale of Presumed Innocent and a fresh installment of Evil to look forward to.

As a passionate gamer and avid fan of the Game of Thrones universe, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news. This week brings good fortune for actors gracing our screens in HBO’s beloved shows. A familiar face from Game of Thrones and an emerging star from House of the Dragons are set to make us jump with their new horror movie releases, both dropping this very Friday!

As a dedicated fan of crime dramas and someone who’s been following both “Presumed Innocent” and “Evil” for seasons, I’m thrilled to share that this week holds significant excitement for us. The season finale of “Presumed Innocent,” which I’ve eagerly anticipated since the first episode, premieres on Apple TV+ this Wednesday. Finally, we’ll discover the truth behind Carolyn’s death and put an end to the gripping mystery.

Here’s what horror fans have to look forward to this week!

Starve Acre (Theaters & VOD, July 26)

In this chilling British folklore horror film, Matt Smith plays the role of an archaeologist uncovering an ancient evil on his property, which seems connected to a venerable oak tree. The story, derived from Andrew Michael Hurley’s novel of the same name, delves into a family besieged by something primordial that predates their presence.

The Beast Within (Theaters, July 26)

As a gamer, I’d put it this way: I’m not the only Game of Thrones star seeing screen time this week. Kit Harington, who brought Jon Snow to life, delivers an enthralling and nerve-wracking act in The Beast Within.

These two films, “The Beast Within” and “Starve Acre,” could engage viewers together in a compelling double bill. The reasons being, they both explore the themes of isolated families grappling with forces beyond their reach. In “Starve Acre,” an external force poses a threat, while “The Beast Within” centers around the patriarch’s struggle to hide a transformative ancestral secret from his young daughter.

The Last Breath (VOD, July 26)

A new shark attack film is now available on demand for your viewing pleasure this weekend. It’s an ideal choice for summer entertainment or for those who weren’t satisfied with their shark fix during Discovery’s Shark Week.

In “The Last Breath,” a business proprietor in the Virgin Islands who caters to tourists embarks on an epic dive with a college dropout in search of an ancient warship’s wreckage. However, their underwater adventure takes a terrifying turn when they become trapped at a depth of 30 meters, running low on oxygen, and encircled by sharks.

The Strangers: Chapter 1 (DVD, July 23)

As a dedicated collector of physical media, I’m thrilled to share that this week, I get to add the latest addition to my “The Strangers” franchise collection. This isn’t just any release, it’s coming out in 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD formats! For someone like me who values the tactile experience of owning a movie on disc, this is an exciting time.

The Girl in the Pool (Theaters & VOD, July 26)

In “this domestic thriller,” Freddie Prinze Jr. and Monica Potter feature as the main characters. When the body of his mistress is found in the swimming pool at his family home, a man’s life unravels after her murder is discovered. The film becomes available digitally, on demand, and in cinemas this coming Friday.
