Shudder Sets Thrilling Lineup for May

Shudder, the leading destination for horror and thriller streaming content, has an exciting slate of film premieres and classic additions set for May in the UK and Ireland.

Kicking off the excitement, Shudder will premiere Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever on May 17th. This chilling tale follows Emma, a 22-year-old medical student who becomes a night watch in the forensic department where her parents faced a psychopathic killer years earlier. The film rekindles old horrors and leads Emma on a dark path to confront the notorious inspector Wörmer, sparking a deadly game of revenge. Fans can also catch the 1994 version of Nightwatch, which will be available on the same day.

Closing out the month, Stopmotion, set to stream from May 31st, explores the fragile psyche of Ella Blake, a stop-motion animator haunted by the death of her controlling mother. As she delves into a macabre puppet project, the lines between reality and fantasy blur, threatening her very sanity. The film features performances from Aisling Franciosi, Tom York, and Jaz Hutchins.

In addition to these headline-grabbing originals, Shudder is bolstering its library with a diverse array of films, starting with The Toxic Avenger series, bringing Tromaville’s monstrous hero to new audiences. If you haven’t yet had the pleasure of watching this Troma classics, there has never been a better time.

Further enriching the May schedule are cult classics like Mother’s Day, Calvaire, and The Beta Test, offering something for every horror aficionado. The Knocking and the slasher favourite Graduation Day from 1981 will also join Shudder’s impressive roster.
