We’re in the hottest month of 2021 before things start to cool down again, to add to the heat we have listed the top five movies of August 2021 that can be watched in the cinema or streamed.
We have three horrors for you, an action comedy plus a highly anticipated addition to the DC Universe!
5) Candyman
Candyman returns in this reboot of the 1980’s version. The 2021 version stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as an aspiring artist who moves into a new development built on top of the old Cabrini Green housing estate. Having learned a little about Candyman he draws inspiration from the legend which he unwittingly brings into life through his artwork.
4) The Night House
Although The Night House actually premiered in 2020 it’s still only being released to the general public in August. Starring Rebecca Hall who having recently lost her husband, starts to have horrific visions about his past actions.
3) Don’t Breathe 2
We’ve all been hoping to see the blind ex-specialist Norman Nordstrom again for some time. There’s something about getting on side with a bad guy who isn’t as bad as others. Rodo Sayagues directs this time, taking over from Sam Raimi.
2) Free Guy
Free Guy looks set to be spectacular with Ryan Reynolds playing the metaverse hero with support from the excellent Jodie Comer in what will be a non playable character role in a video game that has to save the game world from being deleted.
1) The Suicide Squad
Possibly the biggest blockbuster of the summer, The Suicide Squad sees a number of characters return from the first outing alongside others including John Cena as Peacemaker and an awesome rat type creature. Margot Robbie returns as Harley Quinn which is a huge plus. Don’t forget to watch the end credits on this one!
