What’s New On Shudder December 2017: ‘Buried,’ ‘The Lords of Salem,’ ‘Grace,’ And More

Obviously October has a claim to the title “Scariest Month of the Year,” but don’t let December lull you into a false sense of eggnog-induced security. Things can get pretty horrific at the end of the year, too! Just think about it: visiting relatives, going through airport security, shopping stress–and, you know, all those apocalypses that cults foresee happening when the clock strikes midnight on January 1. December is a dark, spooky month! That’s why Shudder is one streaming service to turn to this month, especially with all of its new December additions!
For those looking for family horror (as in horror that involves the family, not horror suited for the family), then check out Grace, a movie about a mother giving birth to a stillborn baby that returns to life craving human blood! Definitely not for the whole family! There’s also Rob Zombie’s Lords of Salem, a wild thriller focusing on a radio DJ haunted by memories that she’d definitely rather forget. But are those memories something more, something terrifying, and something real? You’ll have to watch to find out!
For the low price of just $4.99 a month, Shudder will grant you access to all the horror hits and blood-curdling indie gems you can handle. Ensure that your December is filled with frights by checking out all the new horror titles now available to stream on Shudder!

DECEMBER 1

Buried (2010) – US
In Buried, Ryan Reynolds turns out a massive performance as a man in a tight space. In this claustrophobic thriller, Reynolds plays a truck driver that wakes up in easily the worst possible place: buried underground in a coffin. All he has is a lighter, a cell phone, and the will to live–but is that enough?!

Better Watch Out (2016) – A SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE (US/CA)
Shudder gets into the Christmas spirit with the debut of Better Watch Out, December’s big exclusive release. The film takes a Christmas movie that was already packed with torture (that movie is, of course, Home Alone) and amps it up even more, pushing it well into horror territory. People that love Christmas and Halloween equally, this right here is the film you’re looking for this month.

DECEMBER 15

Chained (2012) – US
Vincent D’Onofrio is one of those actors that you just can’t look away from. Even in minor roles (remember his super burly and weird security guard in Jurassic World?), he runs away with the movie! In Chained, D’Onofrio gets to cut loose as the film’s lead and sink his teeth into the role of a taxi-driving serial killer turned surrogate father. Okay, not exactly a surrogate father; he killed a kid’s mom and then made the kid his servant. So… nowhere near a healthy family dynamic. Will the kid ever be able to break free, or will he become a serial killer too?

The Child’s Eye (2010) – US
The Day (2011) – US
