Then, on the 19th, the Shudder Original film, Night of the Reaper, brings a fresh twist on the babysitter killer genre.
And finally, rounding out the big new releases on September 26th, the new original film, House on Eden, thrusts a bunch of paranormal investigators into their most harrowing case to date. After being mysteriously rerouted to an abandoned house deep in the woods, the team finds themselves facing a force unlike anything they’ve encountered before. As the night spirals into chaos, missing crew members and eerie phenomena hint at an ancient, malevolent presence watching their every move.
