‘New Group’ Leads a Huge November Horror Drop on Shudder UK

Shudder is heading into November with cult behaviour, missing siblings, sinister villages and enough winter survival horror to make staying indoors seem like the safest option. The specialist horror streamer has unveiled its UK and Ireland schedule for the month, led by new premieres including Yûta Shimotsu’s New Group, Tinsman Road and Italian horror The Holy Boy, alongside a substantial batch of library additions.

Arriving first on 6 November is Shudder Original New Group, written and directed by Best Wishes to All filmmaker Yûta Shimotsu. Anna Yamada stars as high school student Ai, whose world begins to fracture when an increasingly cult-like mentality spreads through the people around her. Ordinary gymnastics routines soon become part of a disturbing collective phenomenon, with Yuzu Aoki and Pierre Taki also starring.

On 13 November, Tinsman Road heads into rural New Jersey, where a young man attempts to unravel the mystery surrounding his long-missing sister and the family home they left behind.

Shudder’s announcement also includes Nightborn, starring Seidi Haarla and Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint as a couple who move to an isolated house deep in the Finnish forest hoping to start a family. After their child is born, Saga becomes convinced that something is terribly wrong with the baby, even as everyone around her insists otherwise. The supplied schedule lists its premiere date as 31 July.

Closing out the month’s featured premieres on 27 November is The Holy Boy. The film follows Sergio, a teacher transferred to Remis, supposedly the happiest village in Italy, where residents gather each week to embrace a teenage boy named Matteo whose touch can apparently remove pain and sorrow. Sergio’s attempts to understand the ritual expose something far more troubling beneath the village’s cheerful exterior.

Shudder is also refreshing its catalogue from 1 November with a broad selection of older and newer titles. Theatre of Horrors turns an experimental stage production deadly, while silent-era horrors Sweeney Todd (1928) and The Lighthouse Keepers (1929) head further back into genre history.

More recent survival horror comes from Cold Meat, about a driver trapped in a ravine during a snowstorm, and Let It Snow, which pits a snowboarder against both the elements and a masked pursuer.

Supernatural drama Jethica follows a woman seeking help from beyond the grave to deal with a stalker, while Disappearance at Clifton Hill centres on a woman returning to Niagara Falls and becoming consumed by memories of an old kidnapping.

The month also adds Wrong Turn (2021), Norwegian horror comedy There’s Something in the Barn and three entries from the vampire-versus-werewolf franchise with Underworld, Underworld: Evolution and prequel Underworld III: The Rise of the Lycans.

A second wave arrives on 9 November. Porno follows cinema employees who discover an old film capable of unleashing a succubus, while Over Your Dead Body (2014) finds a married couple independently plotting to kill one another during a cabin getaway. Rounding out the additions is The Drone, in which newlyweds discover their consumer gadget has acquired the consciousness of a serial killer.

With Japanese cult horror, Italian folk dread, wintry survival stories, supernatural mysteries and franchise action all represented, Shudder’s November slate covers considerably more ground than a simple post-Halloween clear-out.

New Group premieres on Shudder UK and Ireland on 6 November, followed by Tinsman Road on 13 November and The Holy Boy on 27 November, with the new library additions rolling out from 1 November 2026.
