July is zooming by at a fast clip, so make sure to slow down and appreciate some of the new releases coming this week, including the highly-anticipated disaster film Twisters and the epic conclusion to Netflix's apocalyptic horror show Sweet Home.

Apart from the new films and shows debuting this week, stay tuned for new episodes of Evil and Presumed Innocent.

Twisters (Theaters, Jul. 19)

A follow-up to the beloved 1996 film Twister, this sequel is already receiving great feedback from critics and audiences. Labeled a true crowd-pleaser, Twisters is a disaster film following a new crew of storm chasers eager to sample a state-of-the-art tracking system. But soon, they find themselves in the crosshairs of multiple storm systems converging in central Oklahoma. Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea, Maura Tierney, and Sasha Lane star.

Oddity (Theaters, Jul. 19)

Before coming to Shudder later this year, IFC Films' Oddity will debut in select theaters this weekend. Following the murder of a woman in a remote country house, everyone starts suspecting that a patient from a nearby mental health institution might be responsible for her death. But then the prime suspect is also found dead, and things start to get increasingly weird as the initial victim's twin sister, a proclaimed psychic, arrives to investigate.

Abigail (Peacock, Jul. 19)

Abigail makes its streaming debut this Friday. Those who missed out on the acclaimed horror comedy can watch it from the comfort of their own homes on Peacock. A group of criminals are tasked with kidnapping the young daughters of a powerful man, only to learn that she's a formidable threat in her own right.

Sweet Home season 3 (Netflix, Jul. 19)

The Korean apocalyptic horror series returns with its third and final season this Friday. Thankfully for fans eager to know how the story ends, all episodes will be released simultaneously.

The majority of cast members from previous seasons will be returning, with one of the most shocking reveals from season 2 getting a follow-up as viewers learned Lee Eun-hyuk is alive and Lee Do-hyun (The Glory and Exhuma) is back to reprise his role as seen in the trailer above.

The Hyperborean (VOD, Jul. 19)

Aliens, ice mummies, and several dead bodies, new horror sci-fi film The Hyperborean seems to revel in its eccentricities and looks like it's going to be lots of fun. The film centers on a crisis manager attempting to assist a highly dysfunctional family as their whiskey company tanks and finds himself thrust into a very unorthodox situation involving all manner of the supernatural.

Lady in the Lake (Apple TV+, Jul. 19)

Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram star in this mystery thriller series based on Laura Lippman's novel of the same name. Portman plays a 1960s housewife who chooses to pursue a career as a newspaper reporter and becomes obsessed with unraveling the killings of a young girl and a bartender named Cleo Sherwood (Ingram). The first two episodes debut this Friday, followed by one per week after that.
