Screambox has revealed the new films joining the horror streaming service in August, including We Are Zombies, The Funeral, and When a Stranger Calls.
The Hollywood dream becomes a nightmare when The Fanatic stalks Screambox on August 9. Directed by Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst, the psychological thriller stars John Travolta as a film buff who develops an obsession with a cult movie star (Devon Sawa, Final Destination).
RKSS (Turbo Kid, Summer of 84) introduces the living impaired in Screambox Original We Are Zombies on August 13. Based on the comic book series The Zombies That Ate the World, the horror-comedy has drawn comparisons to Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland, and Warm Bodies.
A pastor seeks vengeance for his daughter’s murder in The Retaliators on Screambox August 23. It features appearances by hard rock luminaries Tommy Lee (Mötley Crüe), Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach), Ivan Moody & Zoltan Bathory (Five Finger Death Punch), and Spencer Charnas (Ice Nine Kills).
On August 27, Screambox Original The Funeral delivers a love story with a bite. The Turkish slow-burner does for zombies what Let the Right One did for vampires.
Every babysitter’s nightmare becomes real in When a Stranger Calls. The 1979 masterclass in suspense from director Fred Walton (April Fool’s Day) hits Screambox on August 30. Carol Kane (Addams Family Values) stars in the film.
Other August highlights include British Academy Television Award-winning zombie series In the Flesh; The Call starring horror icons Lin Shaye (Insidious) and Tobin Bell (Saw); Lovecraftian aquatic creature feature Gods of the Deep; female serial killer thriller The Girl Who Got Away; and Christmas-themed supernatural slasher Nutcracker Massacre.
