AMC Networks revealed the monster-sized return of AMC’s “FearFest,” its long-running horror and genre programming event, with over 700 hours of films, series and specials to be curated by Shudder, AMC Networks’ streamer for horror, thrillers and the supernatural, for the very first time. “FearFest, Shocked by Shudder” will expand into September and across AMC Networks’ entire portfolio of networks and streamers over the two-month event.

“Countdown to Fearfest” began on, September 1 with Shudder’s 101 Scariest Horror Movie Moments of All Time every Friday at 11:00 p.m., leading into a primetime takeover the last week of September featuring iconic horror movies every night of the week including the Scream and Halloween franchises as well as Stephen King classics like The Shining and Firestarter.

October will then kick off wall-to-wall coverage, including a mix of fan-favorite horror films as well as new programming from Shudder. AMC will continue to host...

Online trend-oriented dares or games make for an interesting horror movie premise, but the primary rule in those flicks is a well-defined causality, which helps the audience catch on to the narrative flow pretty easily. Despite having a rather simplistic premise for the titular game and a limited number of generic characters, Shudder’s recent release, The Elevator Game, fails in that aspect, resulting in a rather confusing plot progression.

Apart from the shaky in-universe narrative structure, the movie also suffers from over-dependence on jump scares, unnecessary overacting, tonal imbalance, and an abundance of other trope-y horror elements, which really undermine the otherwise visually gorgeous, minimalistic presentation. The movie treads on familiar ground with its overall shtick of entity-infested shenanigans; there is hardly anything horror aficionados haven’t come across before; even the claustrophobic aspect associated with spaces like elevators isn’t even touched upon. But at the same time,...

The terrifying found footage franchise V/H/S returns to Shudder on October 6 with V/H/S/85.

Directors include David Bruckner, Scott Derrickson, Gigi Saul Guerrero, Natasha Kermani, Mike Nelson.

An ominous mixtape blends never before seen snuff footage with nightmarish newscasts and disturbing home video to create a surreal, analog mashup of the forgotten 80s.

The urban legend known as "The 5th Floor Woman" becomes all too real for a group of friends in the Elevator Game, and ahead of its September 15th release on Shudder, we have a look at the trailer and poster for the new horror film directed by Rebekah McKendry and written by Travis Seppala.

Synopsis: Based on the online phenomenon of the same name, Elevator Game follows socially awkward teenager Ryan, who ingratiates himself into a group of recent high school graduates that run an online web series debunking urban legends. But Ryan has a secret: His sister disappeared months earlier, and he believes they – and a dangerous online challenge called ‘The Elevator Game’ – were responsible. To play the game, you must ride the elevator in a specific sequence, invoking a supernatural creature called ‘The 5th Floor Woman’. In an attempt to gain more information as to the whereabouts of his sister,...

Last year, director Rebekah McKendry impressed our reviewer Tyler Nichols with the horror film Glorious, which took place in a rest stop bathroom. (You can read Tyler’s 8/10 review at This Link.) Now McKendry has made another “supernatural happenings in a confined location” horror film called Elevator Game, and it’s going to be released through the Shudder streaming service very soon… just not as soon as we had previously heard. Elevator Game was once set to start streaming on August 11th, but its release date has since shifted back to September 15th. And with that date just over a month away, a trailer has arrived online. You can check it out in the embed above.

Elevator Game will be available for Shudder subscribers in the US, the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. It will also stream on AMC+ in some areas.

Michael Goi (Megan Is Missing) was originally attached to direct the film,...
