Crackle Redbox July 2023 featured shark movies collage

The Warner Bros. Discovery merger may be impacting paranormal shows, but not Shark Week. This year it’s happening in July again (starting July 23) and will be hosted by Aquaman Jason Momoa. But Discovery isn’t the only place you’ll find sharks this month. Sharksploitation premieres on Shudder on July 21. Seems fitting the free horror on Crackle in July adopts a similar theme, with offerings like Megalodon, 5-Headed Shark Attack, Red Water, and more.

Redbox has a couple of water-based creature features this month, too, such as The Lake and Black Water Abyss. But you’ll also find titles like The ABCs of Death, Fear Pharm 2, and Strigoi.

Let’s look at the other featured titles on Redbox and Crackle for July 2023.
