Shudder Loads Up on Lionsgate Classics for March!
I used to get all the feels when I’d hit the video store, turn over a cover, and find out it was a Lionsgate release. Rarely did they miss; now their catalog is massive and packed with genre gems.
This March, Shudder is loading up its streaming service with a handful of Lionsgate titles, all dropping on the 31st.
Check this out…
- John Landis’ An American Werewolf in London (1981) follows an American tourist who, after being attacked by a werewolf in the English countryside, begins experiencing horrifying transformations under the full moon.
- John Carpenter’s The Fog (1980) centers on a coastal town haunted by a mysterious supernatural fog that brings vengeful spirits of the dead ashore.
- Rob Zombie’s Halloween (2007) reimagines the origins of Michael Myers as he escapes a mental institution and returns home to continue his killing spree.
- Rob Zombie’s Halloween II (2009) picks up in the aftermath as Laurie Strode struggles with trauma while Michael resumes his relentless pursuit.
- Eli Roth’s Hostel (2005) follows three backpackers who travel to Slovakia in search of hedonistic thrills, only to discover a secret organization that caters to wealthy clients’ sadistic desires.
- Eli Roth’s Hostel Part II (2007) centers on three American students abroad who are lured to the same deadly hostel and uncover the horrific business operating within.
- Lucky McKee’s May (2002) centers on a socially awkward veterinary assistant whose obsession with perfection leads her down a disturbing path when her attempts at human connection fail.
- Stewart Hendler’s Sorority Row (2009) follows a group of sorority sisters whose cover-up of a deadly prank comes back to haunt them when a killer begins targeting them one by one.
- Greg McLean’s Wolf Creek (2005) follows three backpackers stranded in the Australian Outback who are captured by a sadistic local and subjected to a brutal fight for survival.
For me, the biggest surprise is the criminally underrated Sorority Row remake, which was Briana Evigan’s big breakthrough.
