In Divinity, two mysterious brothers abduct a mogul during his quest for immortality. Meanwhile, a seductive woman helps them launch a journey of self-discovery. The film is produced by Steven Soderbergh and stars Bella Thorne, Stephen Dorff, and Scott Bakula.

This science fiction horror film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2023. It was directed by Eddie Alcazar and featured music by Cypress Hill's DJ Muggs.

In this Shudder exclusive film directed by Indonesian filmmaker Kimo Stamboel, a shaman instructs Mila to return a mystical bracelet, the Kawaturih, to the “Dancing Village,” a remote site on the easternmost tip of Java Island. Joined by her cousin, Yuda, and his friends Jito and Arya, Mila arrives on the island only to discover that the village elder has passed away and that the new guardian, Mbah Buyut, isn’t present.

Various strange and eerie events occur while awaiting Mbah Buyut’s return, including Mila being visited by Badarawuhi, a mysterious, mythical being who rules the village. When she decides to return to the Kawaturih without the help of Mgah Buyut, Mila threatens the village’s safety, and she must join a ritual to select the new “Dawuh,” a cursed soul forced to dance for the rest of her life.

The film stars Aulia Sarah, Maudy Effrosina, and Jourdy Pranata.

Get ready for the Shudder Original Film Hell Hole, directed by John Adams and Toby Poser and starring Toby Poser, John Adams, Max Portman, and Anders Hove.

The newest film from the Adams Family, the filmmaking team behind Hellbender and Where the Devil Roams, Hell Hole, centers on an America-led fracking crew that uncovers a living French soldier frozen in time from a Napoleonic campaign whose body hosts a parasitic monster.

Judging by the photos and the trailer, this movie is going to be a real fright fest of goopy and gross monsters made with the Adams Family flair, which is very exciting.
