NEW RELEASES
Kicking off the month in style on the 1st is Perpetrator. The movie follows a reckless teen sent to live with her estranged Aunt Hildie. But soon, kids start disappearing from the local high school prompting her to seek out the Perpetrator. Then on the 8th, the supernatural thriller Blood Flower brings some much-needed terror. A new release on the 15th invites us to play Elevator Game, a chilling game of chance that uses a ritual conducted in an elevator to transport players to another dimension. Next up on the 22nd, The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster unleashes the Frankenstein vibes.
The story follows a young girl who seeks to reanimate her brother’s corpse but gets more than she bargained for. And finally, rounding out the new releases on the 29th is Nightmare. Written and directed by Kjersti Helen Rasmussen and starring Eili Harboe this chilling adventure has all the hallmarks of Rosemary’s Baby. The film follows a young couple who find themselves under attack by a demonic entity in their new apartment. What’s more, when the young couple finds out they are expecting their first child, they soon grow fearful that the dark spirit is hell-bent on possessing the newborn. And a race to save the infant begins.
But don’t take my word for it. Get ready to hold onto the arm of your chair, scoot to the edge of your seat, and clutch onto your cushions, because Shudder’s horror watchlist for September is packed with spine-tingling jump scares that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
