Last year Blumhouse debuted four horror movies on Amazon Prime Video under
the collective label 'Welcome to the Blumhouse'. This October a second batch
of four movies will hit the streaming service. Check out the details and
watch the trailer below.
Bingo Hell - October 1st
When a sinister figure threatens the residents of a low-income community, a
feisty senior citizen tries to stop him in Bingo Hell, a wickedly original horror movie with a fiendishly funny twist.
After 60-something neighborhood activist Lupita (Adriana Barraza)
discovers that her beloved local bingo hall has been taken over by a
mysterious businessman named Mr. Big (Richard Brake), she rallies her
elderly friends to fight back against the enigmatic entrepreneur. But when
her longtime neighbours begin turning up dead under grisly circumstances,
Lupita suddenly discovers that gentrification is the least of her problems.
Something terrifying has made itself at home in the quiet barrio of Oak
Springs, and with each new cry of “Bingo!” another victim falls prey to its
diabolical presence. As the cash prizes increase and the body count steadily
rises, Lupita must face the frightening realization that this game is truly
winner-takes-all.
Directed by Gigi Saul Guerrero
Black as Night - October 1st
A resourceful teenage girl leaves childhood behind when she battles a group
of deadly vampires in Black as Night, an action-horror hybrid with a strong social conscience and a biting
sense of humour.
15 years after Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans, a new threat leaves
its mark on the Big Easy in the form of puncture wounds on the throats of
the city’s vulnerable displaced population. When her drug-addicted mom
becomes the latest victim of the undead, 15-year old Shawna (Asjha Cooper) vows to even the score. Along with three trusted friends, Shawna hatches
a bold plan to infiltrate the vampire’s mansion in the historic French
Quarter, destroy their leader, and turn his fanged disciples back to their
human form. But killing monsters is no easy task, and soon Shawna and her
crew find themselves caught in a centuries-old conflict between warring
vampire factions, each fighting to claim New Orleans as their permanent
home.
Directed by Maritte Lee Go
Madres - October 8th
Beto (Tenoch Huerta) and Diana (Ariana Guerra), a young
Mexican-American couple expecting their first child, move to a small town in
1970s California where Beto has been offered a job managing a farm. Isolated
from the community and plagued by confusing nightmares, Diana explores the
rundown company ranch where they reside, finding a grisly talisman and a box
containing the belongings of the previous residents. Her discoveries will
lead her to a truth much stranger and more terrifying than she could have
possibly imagined.
Directed by Ryan Zaragoza
The Manor - October 8th
A malevolent force preys upon the residents of a sleepy nursing home in
The Manor, a gothic tale of terror with a modern twist.
When a mild stroke diminishes her ability to care for herself, Judith
Albright (Barbara Hershey) moves to Golden Sun Manor, an assisted
living facility with a sterling reputation. But despite the best efforts of
the staff, and a budding friendship with fellow senior Roland (Bruce Davidson), strange occurrences and nightmarish visions convince Judith that a
sinister presence is haunting the massive estate. As residents begin to die
mysteriously, Judith’s frantic warnings are dismissed as fantasy. Even her
devoted grandson Josh (Nicholas Alexander) thinks her fears are the
result of dementia, not demons. With no one willing to believe her, Judith
must either escape the confines of the manor, or fall victim to the evil
that dwells within it.
