The scene on the kitchen floor with the tongs. Yeesh. Stuff like that really gets me.
I went in completely blind and had a blast. I caught it from the beginning on Shudder TV, so I didn’t even read the description.
I had no idea what to expect. I was suspicious, didn’t know who to trust, and it just really added to the fun and horror of it all.
I’d give it a solid 6/10.
Any other recommendations for what to watch on Shudder?
Sure, what kind of horror are you into?
hm, I’m not sure I know :) not really into jump scares, but do often love kitchy B horror. I also love scifi so blends of the two are good. Overall, I’ll take any suggestions for what you’ve liked on the platform!
Got it. I enjoy a lot of just modern, creative horror that doesn’t push too far into the arthouse world – for me there’s a point where there’s too much plot given up to allow for artistic interpretation.
Just on the INSIDE of that line for me, are movies like Titane [2021 - Hulu] and Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future [2022 - Hulu.]
So as far as what I’ve loved on Shudder recently – Paul Dood’s Deadly Lunch Break, Unwelcome, The Devil’s Candy [really great if you haven’t seen it,] Brooklyn 45 [a bit of B horror vibe, but a really fun idea and setting carried by the actors,] Influencer, Deadstream [a bit jump-scarey, but enough humor to offset,] Sissy, Glorious, [fun, new, Lovecraftian,] The Innocents, What Josiah Saw, and Moloch – probably round out my favorites on Shudder recently.
What about you? One of my favorites lately that press into the scifi horror world was a series on Netflix – Archive 81 – is definitely worth a watch if you haven’t seen it. It was ended after one season, but it’s got a cozy, retro vibe going with scifi and horror elements mixed in.
