Shudder
 

The new horror based on demand video streaming service Shudder went into Beta in the UK today, and I was wondering if anyone is using it, or planning to use it. I've heard so many good things from Americans who have the service, but with Sky having a bit of a monopoly here streaming services always seem a little lacklustre in terms of content in the UK. But there's a really good mix of titles up currently. They have loads of Arrow stuff (some VS stuff too, plenty of Hammer), but lots of really random things, like Funeral Home, The Day After Halloween, The Velvet Vampire and The Legend Of Boggy Creak too.

Sadly they don't seem to have an app for Amazon, or for my Smart TV yet, so I have no way of watching this stuff on my TV. And I don't plan to watch it on my computer. And because of where they're positioned in my house it'd be a pain linking them.

But at £4.99 a month, I'd definitely be up for giving them a chance based on what they've managed to acquire for beta. I assume the content will grow. As they're ran by the IFC Midnight people I was hopeful they'd have more IFC Midnight stuff that hasn't been picked up in the UK yet, but it doesn't appear so.

Just announced today that Shudder will be getting the rights to stream George A Romero's The Amusement Park the once lost film.

Shudder Tells the True Story of the Most Haunted House in England With ‘The Banishing’

https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/...shing-trailer/

Shudder will be delivering classic haunted house thrills and chills with Black Death director Christopher Smith‘s The Banishing next month, and their trailer has arrived tonight.

The film is being billed as “the true story of the most haunted house in England.”

“A young reverend and his wife and daughter move into a manor with a horrifying secret. When a vengeful spirit haunts the little girl and threatens to tear the family apart, the reverend and his wife are forced to confront their beliefs. They must turn to black magic by seeking the help of a famous Occultist…or risk losing their daughter.”

Jessica Brown Findlay (Downton Abbey), John Heffernan (Collateral), John Lynch (The Terror) and Sean Harris (the Mission: Impossible franchise, Possum) star.

Face your fear on April 15. And find the trailer below.

Christopher Smith also directed the horror films Creep (2004), Severance, and Triangle.

Nice one it should be good to view in the dark :pop2:

Near dark is coming to Shudder

More importantly it's coming to StudioCanal Special Edition land. :lol:

I've got my Japanese bluray I bought for a tenner in Tokyo and still haven't watched yet :lol: I bet I have the 4k special edition before I do re-watch it :lol:

I gave it a rewatch a couple of years ago and loved it all over again. I was thinking i'd give it another viewing and then saw there was this HD release coming so waited.

I hope it's not as long as the Howling.

The UK Blu has already been out of print for many years now which is why I bought this JP one (still Studio Canal weirdly!) At least The Howling BD only came out 3 years (ish) ago and is still in print. It can be had for cheap too.

Hopefully the new versions will be out this year for both films, they don't seem to announce these things too far in advance either.

This one looks dark and interesting

It's on the American site( along with creepshow) we got lake mungo and dawn of the dead this week in uk

Can anyone help?

I’ve just subscribed to shudder and have been using the app and ‘mirroring’ onto my tv. However, sometimes only the sound comes through the tv, with just a black screen, while the video plays on my phone with no sound.

Any ideas?

The app has had a few problems I got rid of it and just used a pc/chrome book.

Supernatural fairytale.

The best thing on Shudder by far, is the Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briiggs. Unfortunately the UK version don't get the rights to a lot of the films they show. I got a vpn on my phone and I can acesss the US version and cast it to my tv (no real problems casting for me). It's great being able to watch it live and tweet along with other people. The only downside is that when it's on live, it starts at 2am UK time on a Saturday morning.

Yeah, I’ve watched Heathers and Hogzilla on The Last Drive in. It’s really great. He’s really knowledgeable about the films and the little snippets of insight etc are really great to listen to. Hoping to get a chance to watch Psycho Goreman through Joe Bob this week.

September 25th, Shudder has a 40th Anniversary 4-movie special hosted by Elvira. Not sure if they'll be available on the UK Shudder after, but if you have the means to access the US version, it starts at 1am on Sunday the 26th.

Juat read that it'll be on-demand on Monday the 27th on the UK version.

There's a few Shudder movies coming to dvd and Blu-ray. Are any of them any good?

Psycho-Goreman
Belzebuth
Terrified
Tigers are not Afraid
The Power
Monstrum
Son
The Furies
Violation

I've only seen Tigers are not Afraid out of that lot but that was excellent!

Psycho goreman getting raved about with positive reviews,


Lol chuckling to myself because predictive txt come up as foreman, psycho foreman sound like a good idea for a film where foreman goes on a rampage killing ppl because he had enough of them and not doing as their told or being lazy :lol:.

Here a review that tickled me,

If Wishmaster and Power Rangers had a love child...
...this would be that love child.

Will second that vote, that was really good

Third it. Was excellent.

Hopefully the U.K. will get this.

I might just nip back to Asda tomorrow and get the dvd of Tigers Are Not Afraid. I'm sure they had it.

Didn't ever have the blu version but if it meant i could watch it tomorrow night that'd be okay.

Psycho Goreman and Terrified are both great.

PG is a kind of comedy sci-fi/horror. It had a kind of ‘Power Rangers’ vibe, and was very funny.

Terrified is a Spanish language one. Super creepy. Well worth a watch.

Thanks Mucky. :thankingyou:

Can anyone recommend any “child friendly” stuff on Shudder?

The kids and they have already watched Psycho Goreman, The Old Dark House, and White Zombie.

They’ve seen the universal horror movies, stranger things, and a few other bits. The new “nightbooks” is very good, btw.

The House That Dripped Blood
Horror Express
Carnival of Souls
House On Haunted Hill
City Of The Dead
Dr Terrors House of horrors
The mummy
Captain Kronos
Demonic

These ones seem mild depending on how old your children are, but there is less gore in these

I always thought Horror Express to be quite gory with the brains on show and frequent bleeding eyes.

I thought it was mild, besides there is good comebacks in it though :pound:

Thought i'd never see that hideous Rotten Tomatoes logo on a UK release. Ewwww.

Magic [emoji106] thanks!

Cursed Films: Rosemary's Baby.

A insight to Roman Polanski's psychological horror film about a woman who gives birth to the devil's son. Nothing seemed to happen during the making of the movie but afterwards tragedies happen. Composer Krzysztof Komeda had a fall suffered a blot clot on the brain and died three months later, coincidentally the same thing happened to a character in the film. Victoria Vetri who had a small role shot her husband, Sharon Tate who was married to Roman was killed. Mia Farrow who was married to Frank Sinatra was served with divorce papers. William Castle who produced the movie began to have health problems and his family having health problems.

This was part of season 2 of the Cursed Films, first episode was about The Wizard Of Oz, think we all know what went on, the next episode is to be on the film The Serpent And The rainbow.
