A dedicated streaming platform for horror and thriller fans has unveiled a host of exciting new releases that will be available to subscribers in the New Year.
Shudder boasts a packed library of films and TV series for those that enjoy a shot of adrenaline with their popcorn. Among the offerings currently available on the platform is the top-rated horror, Late Night With The Devil, which pop icon Ariana Grande recently named as one of her favourite horror films of 2024.
The film follows a late-night talk show host who takes drastic measures to boost his ratings by inviting on a young girl who claims to be possessed by a demonic entity named ‘Mr Wriggles’. It currently boasts a 97 per cent critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, with fans calling it “one-of-a-kind” as well as “fun, fast-paced and fantastically performed.”
