Cineworld has just announced Secret Screaming 9, which is set to take place at a Cineworld near you on August 25th. As this marks the ninth instalment in the Secret Screaming series, it’s time to speculate about which film will be featured. The age certificate for the upcoming screening is currently listed as 18 on the website, which could be a bit of a red herring. Although the runtime is noted as 90 minutes, this might be misleading. For reference, the previous Secret Screaming, which was shown on July 7, was Bring Her Back.
I always find secret screenings to be incredibly exciting. As we enter the cinema, we have no idea what movie we’ll be watching, and we love the element of surprise. The Cineworld Secret Screening is now open to both Unlimited and non-Unlimited members, allowing everyone the opportunity to enjoy the same thrilling experience we Unlimited Members have during our occasional Unlimited Secret Screenings.
With the news of the Cineworld Secret Screaming 9, we thought we would take the opportunity to see what film could be shown for the latest “Screaming” for 2025 but with not much being released in the horror genre during August it seems that we only have a few choices of what the movie could be, we will update the page if there are any other movies that could be popping up.

The Conjuring: Last Rites – 5 Sept
The Conjuring: Last Rites delivers another thrilling chapter of the iconic Conjuring cinematic universe, based on real events. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson reunite for one last case as renowned, real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in a powerful and spine-chilling addition to the global box office-breaking franchise.
The Long Walk – 12 Sept
The Long Walk – in theaters September 12. Starring Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, Charlie Plummer, Ben Wang, Roman Griffin Davis, Jordan Gonzalez, Joshua Odjick, Josh Hamilton, with Judy Greer, and Mark Hamill.
From the highly anticipated adaptation of master storyteller Stephen King’s first-written novel, and Francis Lawrence, the visionary director of The Hunger Games franchise films (Catching Fire, Mocking Jay – Pts. 1&2 , and The Ballad of the Songbirds & Snakes), comes THE LONG WALK, an intense, chilling, and emotional thriller that challenges audiences to confront a haunting question: how far could you go?
Our wildcard options
This is where we take a moment to cross our fingers and hope that it could be a much-awaited release that is in the distance, hence them being wildcards.
The Strangers: Chapter 2 – 26 Sept
The Strangers are back – more brutal and relentless than ever. When they learn that one of their victims, Maya (Madelaine Petsch), is still alive, they return to finish what they’ve started. With nowhere to run and no one to trust, Maya must survive another horrific chapter of terror as The Strangers – driven by a senseless, unceasing purpose – pursue her, more than willing to kill anyone who stands in their way.
That’s our thoughts on what the Cineworld Secret Screaming 9 could be. It could even be something very unexpected! But with not many other horrors being released in August, these are our predictions (at the moment).
