It's scary summer, and the new Horror movies on Shudder are leading the way into the hottest month of the year, not just because of the heat, but because of the terror you have in store for you at Shudder. No less than five watch parties, including the newest episode of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, and a special July Fourth watch party starring Uncle Sam himself. Keep an eye out for Travis Stevens' hilariously wicked film, A Wounded Fawn, which is part of a week's double feature and will make that double one of the best watch parties of the month.
Shudder has an exclusive film and one original film, the home invasion thriller, Push, for you to enjoy in July. You will be able to check out several Indonesian horror films and a documentary about the Queen of Indonesian Horror, Suzanna Martha Frederika van Osch, so it is prime time to learn more about Indonesian cinema, especially the woman who was only known by her first name but was considered Asia's finest actress.
One standout film among the many repertory titles that are coming online this month is Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani's trippy, blood-soaked crime film, Let the Corpses Tan. Cattet and Forzani make films dripping with style, and their previous genre movies, The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears and Amer, a tribute to Giallo films, are all worth watching and will blow your mind.
The streamer also has some aquatic horror selections that will make you scared to take your floaties into the pool, especially after you realize that Orca predicted our future of pods of killer whales attacking yachts on the high seas. Maybe they want revenge?
