The New Movie Trailer Reel for August 2026

13 Trailers plus our reactions. Watch before a new movie.

Cat Mate 002 (Bootsey) scratched up a theater chair yesterday to remind us, time once again for the new movie trailer reel. Thanks, Boots. Watch before a movie for a full movie night.

Put the speaker back, Bootsey, sit, we’ll watch & write:

No:

The End of Oak Street …But, it’s a biiig movie. Yea, they were too lazy to go to Jurassic Park, so they CGI’d Jurassic Park to them. Also, like the recent JP’s, many, many completely innocent people die as our heroes flee. Heroes live!

The Dog Stars Another we’re-the-last-survivors-in-the-apocalypse movie. Do movie studios think we just want MORE apocalypse & Red Dawn-style, we’ll rise up against the enemy-within, movies? Not every Ridley Scott movie is a classic. This feels ‘feel-goody’ in a kill-everyone sort of way.

Nimrods A Green Day comedy. Out of all the sell-out pop punk bands of the late ’90’s, Green Day earned their success & didn’t sell out. We’ve just seen this fanzine road-trip movie. We’d be happy to be wrong.

The Run No one in the making of The Run must have seen Children of Men or was told about the rough plot of Children of Men. That’s the only explanation for this gigantic Children of Men rip-off.

The Legend of The White Dragon Loving homage to Power Rangers-kaju 90’s Sci-fi or crap? Either way…

Maybe:

The Last House Interesting premise. Like The End of Oak Street, you, your family & your house are transplanted or unharmed as the world becomes deadly. The notion of your house, the property-owning sanctuary of the privileged, is your savior from savages. Hmmm, trend, movie execs?

Late Fame Willem DaFoe stars as a poet with brief fame decades ago, embraced by a new group of fans. Whit Stilman territory. Sweet or sinister?

The Boy from Below A count-the-references horror comedy. Dee Wallace. Looks fun. Too aware, like a bad Scream sequel, hope not. We’ll watch on streaming.

Idiots The trailer says little about the plot, but was cleverly edited with idiocy.

Hot Spot Feels different than the other trailers. Another post apocalypse movie. Dark horse favorite?

Yes:

TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA Gillian Anderson as a crazy/sexy southern actress. Here’s money. A Cabin in The Woods vibe of a horror deconstruction movie. Haven’t seen Jane Schoenbrun’s other movies, will catch up. Kind of excited about this one.

Ice Cream Man We’ll watch on streaming. Kids violently murdering adults, always a crowd pleaser. Eli Roth’s last movie, the one about Black Friday, was uninspired, this looks bananas.

Colony Train to Busan is enough to want to see this different take on zombies. An alien race or zombies with collective intelligence, a proto-Pluribus.

A Sneak Peak:

We’re working on The Fiesta 13’s The Big List Trivia Game, adding a trivia game to every Full Fiesta 13. Here’s one game for November 1933:
