NEW RELEASES
Aside from premiering the intense new original movie History of Evil, Dario Argento’s Panico is on hand to drag us into the depths of horror.

Dario Argento: Panico – Shudder Original Film
In the secluded ambience of hotel rooms, Dario Argento crafted his greatest cinematic creations, seeking solace from the outside world to delve into his nightmares.

Streaming February 2nd.
History of Evil – Shudder Original Film
In the near future, war and corruption have plagued America and turned it into a theocratic police state. Against the oppression, ordinary citizens have formed a group called The Resistance. One such member, Alegre Dyer, breaks out of political prison and reunites with her husband Ron and daughter Daria. On the run from the militia, the family takes shelter in a remote safe house. But their journey is far from over, as the house’s dark past begins to eat away at Ron, and his earnest desire to keep his family safe is overtaken by something much more sinister. Starring Paul Wesley (The Vampire Diaries) and Jackie Cruz (Orange is the New Black). Streaming February 23rd.
