August movie releases at Cineworld

We're past the halfway point of the year, so how many movies have you watched at Cineworld during the last few months? As we enter August, we've got a host of unmissable family movies, horrors and blockbusters headed your way.

Scroll down for more details on all the films that will keep you busy over the next few weeks.

1. Harold and the Purple Crayon (released August 2nd)

Inside his book, adventurous Harold (Zachary Levi) can make anything come to life simply by drawing it. After he grows up and draws himself off the book’s pages and into the physical world, Harold finds he has a lot to learn about real life—and that his trusty purple crayon may set off more hilarious hijinks than he thought possible. When the power of unlimited imagination falls into the wrong hands, it will take all of Harold and his friends’ creativity to save both the real world and his own.


2. Trap (released August 9th)

M. Night Shyamalan, director of The Sixth Sense and master of the twist ending, now delivers a mash-up of a serial killer thriller and a concert movie. Oppenheimer's Josh Hartnett continues his career resurgence as the family-loving psychopath who finds himself at the centre of a police sting operation when taking his daughter to a music gig.


3. Borderlands (released August 9th)

Gore-loving horror filmmaker Eli Roth (Cabin Fever; Hostel; Thanksgiving) goes mainstream with this big-budget sci-fi adventure adapted from the bestselling console game series. Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett leads the all-star cast as intergalactic renegade Lilith who leads a merry band of outlaws on a dangerous mission on the far-flung planet of Pandora.


4. Alien: Romulus (released August 16th)

The terrifying Alien saga dates back to Ridley Scott's Alien, which was released in 1979. The latest entry in the franchise, Alien: Romulus, takes place 20 years after the events of Scott's seminal sci-fi horror, and some 37 years before the events of James Cameron's equally pioneering Aliens (released in 1986). When a deep-space salvage crew docks with an apparently vacant space station, they soon come across the xenomorph, a horrifying biological organism that threatens the future of mankind.


5. The Crow (released August 23rd)

In this remake of the cult 1994 comic book movie adaptation, IT star Bill Skarsgard (soon to be seen as Count Orlok in Robert Eggers' remake of Nosferatu) plays the titular undead superhero. The Crow begins life as Eric Draven, a musician who along with his girlfriend is killed by malicious gangsters. He then rises from the grave to take bloody revenge.
