Crackle August 2021 Highlights: New Exclusives, Movies, and Series

There’s not a lot of horror or paranormal in the Crackle August 2021 programming roundup, but there is some heart-pounding sci-fi and mystery/thriller content, such as the Crackle AVOD (advertising-supported video-on-demand) exclusive feature, Skyfire.

Let’s check that out as well as some other Crackle August 2021 new originals, exclusives, movies, and series.

New Crackle AVOD Exclusive in August 2021

Skyfire (Premiering August 1st)

A young scientist (Hannah Quinlivan) invents a cutting-edge volcanic warning system and returns to the tropical island where her mother tragically died, hoping she can prevent future deaths. The island is now home to the world’s only volcano theme park and resort, the brainchild of its reckless owner Jack (Jason Isaacs). Chaos soon erupts when the once dormant volcano starts to rumble. It’s a battle with nature to get off the island while fiery death and destruction rains down from the mountain.

Dragged Across Concrete

Once two overzealous cops (Mel Gibson, Vince Vaughn) get suspended from the force, they must delve into the criminal underworld to get their proper compensation.

Bent

In this searing crime-thriller, a discredited cop (Karl Urban) hunting for his partner’s killer accidentally uncovers a deadly government conspiracy tied to a woman’s car-bomb murder.

Colonia (Premiering August 1st)

In the heat of the 1973 Chilean military coup, a young woman’s (Emma Watson) desperate search for her abducted boyfriend (Daniel Brühl) draws her into the infamous Colonia Dignidad, an ex-Nazi cult from which no one has ever escaped. Inspired by true events.

Redemption

A damaged ex-special forces soldier (Jason Statham) navigating London’s criminal underworld seizes an opportunity to assume another man’s identity.

Darktide

A traumatized shark expert (Halle Berry) must battle her own fears to lead a thrill-seeking businessman (Oliver Martinez) on a dive into a dangerous section of water known as “Shark Alley.”

New Crackle Original in August 2021

The Uncommon History of Very Common Things (Premiering August 19th)

Think you know your history? You haven’t heard the whole story….Did you know that high heels date back to Ancient Egypt? And what do chocolate bars have to do with the invention of the microwave oven? Each half-hour episode of The Uncommon History of Very Common Things examines the unknown, sometimes shocking, often irreverent, and always entertaining history of the everyday items that make up our lives. Using archival photos, animation, and a healthy dose of humor, each half-hour episode is made up of three stories loosely linked on a theme.
