Shudder has compiled a pretty cool list of horror movies this March. The streamer is really looking out for us and has something for every kind of genre fan. Are you the kind of nerd who wants to watch The Evil Dead (1981) and Evil Dead (2013) back to back? They have you covered. Does the recent release of The Monkey make you want to revisit some Stephen King classics? Then hop in when Christine rolls onto the streamer this month. Do you just want to watch Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922) without commercial breaks? Well, Shudder is that girl again. There is plenty to choose from this month, and I am living my best life. I am so pleased to present these five titles I plan on flirting with this month.
The Best Movies to Stream on Shudder This Month
30 Days Of Night (2007)
An Alaskan town is plunged into darkness for a month as it is attacked by a vicious vampire gang. This movie made vampires cool again, and we are all forever in its debt. As a basic girl, I ran at this title because I wanted to see what Josh Hartnett was doing. However, I left convinced this might be one of the best vampire movies I had seen in my short lifetime. While I did not have a crush on Melissa George or Danny Huston, they are also pretty fantastic in this bloody film.
You can watch 30 Days Of Night on March 1st.
Silent Hill (2006)
A woman takes her adopted daughter to Silent Hill, hoping to cure her of her illness. However, they are separated after a car crash and must embark on a horrific journey to be reunited. This remains one of the best video game adaptations I have had the joy of seeing in theaters. This makes it special because I played way too many survival horror games as a kid and was disappointed in their big-screen adaptations. I am so excited that Shudder is giving us this unsettling gem this March.
You can watch Silent Hill on March 1st.
Out of the Dark (2014)
Young women working for a phone-sex company become the target of a serial killer. I am on a quest to watch as many 80s slashers as possible, and this is one of the titles I can never catch streaming. So, I am eager to dive into this title the second it lands on Shudder. I am also giddy because Karen Black and Divine are in the cast, so it already feels iconic. Hopefully, it is a little sleazy too, but beggers cannot be choosers. I cannot wait to take this journey and cross this movie off my list.
You can watch Out of the Dark on March 15th.
The Rule Of Jenny Pen (2024)
After suffering a stroke, a judge is sent to a retirement home where another patient uses a puppet to bully his fellow residents. This movie is so weird that I have no choice but to enjoy the ride. Come to see Geoffrey Rush and John Lithgow battle it out, but stay because you will be too stunned to do anything else. This is possibly one of the best villains Lithgow has given us, and it is not for lack of trying. I truly think his chaotic Dexter and Ricochet characters would have become a version of this one. If they had met different endings, of course.
You can watch The Rule Of Jenny Pen on March 28th.
Starve Acre (2023)
A family’s picturesque life is thrown for a spin when their son begins to change. This movie has been roaming around since 2023, and I have not been able to get my hands on it. It is set in England in the 1970s and stars Matt Smith (His House, Doctor Who) and Morfydd Clark (Saint Maud). All of these things make me think it might be my new personality. So, Shudder is a saint for finally allowing us to check it out this month. I hope this kid is as creepy as he sounds because I have waited so long to see this film.
You can watch Starve Acre on March 7th.
As usual, Shudder is a horror lover’s best friend. Hope you enjoy these sick, weird, and new titles as much as I think I will this month. Happy Shudder Saturday (and Sunday) to all who partake!
