Horror Movies Releasing in July

 Skillhouse (2025)

Directed by: Josh Stolberg
Starring: Neal McDonough, 50 Cent, Caitlin Carmichael
Release Date: July 11, 2025

In this satirical takedown of self-centered influencers, 10 of them are trapped in a house to film an ersatz reality show as the world votes on their life and death. The loser is chased by the Triller Killer, and only one will escape SkillHouse alive. Our money’s on star 50 Cent, while the other hapless contestants are played by real-life influencers like Bryce Hall and Paige VanZant and genre actors like Neal McDonough (Tulsa King).

I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)

Directed by: Jennifer Kaytin Robinson
Starring: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Madelyn Cline
Release Date: July 18, 2025

Nineties nostalgia reigns supreme! Along with a new Final Destination movie, I Know What You Did Last Summer is another “requel” as the Scream movies defined them: a series refresh after many years that also keeps the continuity of the older movies going. Requels often do two things: They forego any sequel digits or Roman numerals after the title, and they bring back surviving characters from the original franchise. In this case, we see the return of stars Jennifer Love Hewitt (fresh from a continuing run on TV’s 9-1-1) and Freddie Prinze, Jr.

Bambi: The Reckoning (2025)

Directed by: Dan Allen
Starring: Roxanne McKee, Tom Mulheron, Nicola Wright
Release Date: July 25, 2025

Ahh, the glorious public domain. Since the original Bambi novel, Bambi: A Life in the Woods, entered the public domain in 2021, filmmakers are free to make horror movies starring the deer character that Disney made famous, and they have. Similar movies abound with now public characters like Winnie the Pooh (Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey) and Mickey Mouse (Screamboat). Bambi: The Reckoning is the fourth in the Twisted Childhood Universe series, after two Pooh movies and a Peter Pan movie before it.

Together (2025)

Directed by: Michael Shanks
Starring: David Franco, Alison Brie, Damon Herriman
Release Date: July 30, 2025

Husband-and-wife acting and producing team Dave Franco and Alison Brie star in this body horror examination of codependent relationships. A darling out of Sundance earlier this year, this picture is gross-out and fleshy like The Substance, but the comparisons end there, as a supernatural force begins to mash the couple together… literally. Much squishy humor abounds in Together as the two characters go to comically horrific lengths to keep themselves apart, to disastrous effect.
