I feel like the good people at Shudder read my diary and programmed this month to help me fill some major gaps in my horror Blerd watchlist. Sure they have new stuff like Satanic Hispanics, and newish titles like First Contact and Give Me Pity! that I am excited about. However, one of the reasons I continue giving this streamer my quarters is because of the deep cuts, classics, and underseen films they collect. So, I love it when they add a bunch of movies I need to see and have a hard time finding.
The Best Movies to Stream on Shudder This Month
Alice, Sweet Alice (1976)
An adolescent is suspected of killing her younger sister during her First Holy Communion. I am familiar with this movie but have never actually seen it. Which is wild because anything described as a psychological slasher feels made for me. I am grateful Shudder is letting me finally cross Brooke Shields’ first movie off my ’70s horror bingo card. I am looking forward to not just spotting the Alice, Sweet Alice references in the wild anymore, but finally fully understanding them.
You can watch Alice, Sweet Alice on March 1st.
Dream Demon (1988)
A bride-to-be starts dreaming about demons and is shocked to discover they are very real and very deadly. As a commitment phobe, I find this premise scary for all the reasons. However, I have never seen it, so I am beyond excited to have my nerves wrecked. I am even going to pretend I don’t think the fiancé is evil as I microwave my popcorn. This is a must-watch this weekend.
You can watch Dream Demon on March 1st.
Ghostwatch (1992)
A live BBC broadcast sees a team investigate a supposed poltergeist haunting a London home. I watched this mockumentary for the first time last year on an app with commercials. So, I plan to make the squad watch it while it is on Shudder, and we can fully immerse ourselves in this chaotic, creepy precursor to movies like Give Me Pity! and Late Night With The Devil. I find this movie fascinating more than anything, but I refuse to unpack that.
You can watch Ghostwatch on March 1st.
The Strangers (2008)
A couple going through a rough patch finds themselves terrorized by three masked strangers at an isolated home. I love this movie and will gladly rewatch it again while it is on the app. I also want to make it a double with my other favorite Bryan Bertino film, The Dark and The Wicked. This might be the first month they have both been on the same streamer, and my little nerd heart might give out.
You can watch The Strangers on March 1st.
You’ll Never Find Me (2024)
A mysterious woman seeks shelter in a stranger’s mobile home in the middle of nowhere. This 2023 title flew under my radar, so I only discovered it while reading the Shudder press release. However, when I realized it was an Australian horror movie, I knew I needed to fix this oversight immediately. I will watch anything that comes from the country that gave us The Babadook, The Loved Ones, and Talk To Me without hesitation. I have a really good feeling about this one. I cannot wait to hit play already.
You can watch You’ll Never Find Me on March 22nd.
It looks like I have my scary Shudder homework to do for March. See you ghouls next month!
