'Insidious: Out Of The Further' is the sixth installment in the Insidious franchise, and will be the direct sequel to the fifth movie, 'Insidious: The Red Door'. A single mother, Gemma, has been having very strange and sometimes scary dreams, but lately they have become more realistic. What she didn’t realize was that those dreams could bring back the demons into the real world. Will she be able to stop that? Watch in theaters to find out. We are huge fans of horror and are excited to see where this journey will take us.
'Elevation' takes you high up the Colorado mountains. Unknown beings attacked the Earth 3 years ago, and there was no escaping them. The only thing that works is elevation; the beings don’t cross the 8,000ft mark. George’s son needs oxygen filters to survive, but their stock is running low. So it is up to George, played by Anthony Mackie, to venture down to Boulder City and find the necessary equipment without losing his life. Chill film for when you want to relax and enjoy a survival escapade.

A psychological thriller, ‘His & Hers’ takes place in the small town of Dahlonega, Georgia. Estranged partners Detective Jack Harper, played by Jon Bernthal, and a news reporter Anna Andrews, played by Tessa Thompson, become prime suspects in the investigation of mysterious murders. Will they find a killer and listen to both sides of the same story? A very interesting plot twist at the end that we did not quite expect. After finishing the series, we definitely understand the hype.

Before Practical Magic 2 hits theaters on September 11, there is no better time to revisit the original that started it all. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman star as Sally and Gillian Owens — two sisters born into a family of witches, navigating love, loss, and a curse that makes falling in love a death sentence for the men in their lives. Dismissed by critics in 1998 and beloved by women ever since. If you want to know exactly why this film became a cult classic and what to expect from Practical Magic 2, we have you covered. The perfect autumnal watch.
Watch on Disney+ and Hulu.

Watch on Amazon Prime.
That is your watch list for the third week of August. Whether you are heading to theaters for dinosaurs and witches or staying home for survival thrillers and tearjerkers — there is something for everyone this week. Back next week with more picks.
