Shudder is a streaming platform dedicated to fans of classic horror films and modern. With weekly originals and exclusives such as the V/H/S franchise & the Hell House movies, it’s a great investment for horror aficionados at only £4.99 a month. I have been subscribed since 2018 and the price has never increased unlike Prime, Disney + and Netflix. Here’s five top horror movies now streaming and readily available on the ghoulish platform.
5. Don’t Torture A Duckling (1972)
Fulci’s grand Italian giallo is a heavyweight of the genre. With dark subject matter to boot. Someone is murdering children in a quiet countryside Italian village and those responsible must be brought to justice.
4. Hellraiser (1987)
From Clive Barker comes this sinister torturous tale of a women Julia and her husband and step daughter, Kirsty. In a creepy house in England there’s a dark presence from Julia’s past, it lurks in the attic and needs human blood for consumption in order to be whole again. Murder, Cenbites and monsters from the abyss weave a horrific tale in this 80’s horror classic.
3. Possession (1981)
A couple face turmoil and despair as their relationship crumbles into tiny pieces. Possession is an unmissable horror movie that makes the viewer think “what is actually going on?” the performances are top notch and all will be revealed as the plot thickens.
2. A Tale of Two Sisters (2003)
Director Kim Jee Woon offers twists and turns in this beautifully spookily crafted Korean classic. Two sisters’ bond is tested when frightening revelations come to the light. Who is sane?
1. Suspiria (1977)
From Italian Master of horror, Dario Argento, the first entry into the three mothers trilogy serves up murder, macabre and mayhem with a pulsating Goblin score. Can Suzy survive her stay at a German Ballet school when murders keep occurring? Argento’s visually stunning masterpiece is one of the greatest horror experiences ever conceived. Witch!
