With the U.K. now basking in hot summer sunshine, Shudder continues to add exciting horror content to our watchlist. Despite the cinematic onslaught of Barbenheimer, the premium horror streaming service has been on hand to keep us entertained with more chilling fare. And today, the streamer has shared a list of titles that will be available on the service for August. This month’s content may not be plentiful, but it is enough to make us want to hide behind the sofa and remind us why it’s never safe to help out a young stranger!
NEW RELEASES
On the 11th, the month begins with the thriller The Communion Girl. The movie follows a pair of teens who go out one night to a nightclub. But on the way home they come upon a little girl holding a doll, dressed for her first communion. And a chilling nightmare begins! Then on the 18th, the new releases culminate in Bad Things. This weekend getaway horror will send chills down the spine when long-deceased guests come back from the grave to terrorize a snowy holiday resort.
