5 Excellent Horror Movies You Can Watch This Week at Home or in Theaters
Horror fans have a little bit of everything this week. The lineup mixes occult chillers, character driven thrill rides, and a couple of fresh streaming drops to queue up at home. It is a good spread whether you want a quiet slow burn or a loud jolt.
Below you will find the theatrical picks opening the week of August 11, 2025, plus two new titles landing on streaming with firm dates. Where platforms are not confirmed, we call that out so you can keep an eye on your usual apps.
‘Went Up the Hill’ (2025)
A moody blend of drama, fantasy, horror, romance, and thriller arrives with a cast led by Dacre Montgomery and Vicky Krieps alongside Joel Tobeck and Arlo Green. At 1 hour 40 minutes, it aims for an atmospheric crawl rather than a sprint. It opens in theaters in a limited release the week of August 11, 2025 through Greenwich Entertainment.
Expect uneasy family secrets, shifting loyalties, and a push pull between love and dread. If you like haunted feelings as much as haunted houses, this one sounds like a weekend pick.
‘Jimmy and Stiggs’ (2025)
This one leans into midnight movie energy with Joe Begos, Matt Mercer, Riley Dandy, and Josh Ethier front and center. The runtime is a quick 1 hour 20 minutes and the release is limited through Iconic Events Releasing during the week of August 11, 2025.
The promise here is punchy gore, neon soaked vibes, and a crowd pleaser for genre die hards. Grab it early if your local theater is part of the rollout.
‘Witchboard’ (2025)
A fresh take on occult danger brings together Madison Iseman, Aaron Dominguez, Mel Jarnson, and Charlie Tahan. It runs 1 hour 52 minutes and hits theaters the week of August 11, 2025.
Expect eerie rituals, escalating mysteries, and the kind of creeping dread that pairs well with a late show. Fans of spirit world setups should find plenty to enjoy.
‘Die’ced: Reloaded’ (2025)
This streaming title drops on August 12, 2025. The platform has not been specified yet, so keep an eye on your regular services for the listing.
With the Reloaded tag, plan for sharpened stakes and a focus on slick momentum. It sounds like an easy midweek watch when you want something new at home.

This follow up in the world of ‘Mononoke’ begins streaming on August 14, 2025. The platform is not yet announced, so check your anime friendly apps as the date approaches.
