The streaming service champion of the month is Shudder, who jogged my memory this month of what they do greatest: balancing sizzling new releases (e.g. Destroy All Neighbors) with dusty gems in want of some love (e.g. Blue Eyes of a Broken Doll). It’s not your fault that AMC Networks reduce 20% of its workforce in 2022. You’re doing all your greatest and we see you.
The streaming service dunce of the month is Disney+ as a result of the sky is blue and the solar rises within the east. These goobers hardly ever add any horror content material to their slop trough and I’m going to proceed to name them out on it.
Horror Streaming Highlights for January 2024
Pick of the Month — The Cat (1992)
Synopsis: A kitty cat, a knight, and a magical lady from past the celebrities band collectively to thwart the evil machinations of a large alien mould monster that desires to take over planet Earth.
If that plot abstract didn’t seize you, suck on this: The Cat was directed by Lam Nai-Choi, a.ok.a. the madman behind Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky. Bursting with trademark Golden Harvest madness, The Cat is a goopy, brain-melting expertise that should be seen to be believed.
While it’s unabashed uniqueness suggests in any other case, The Cat is definitely a part of an unofficial franchise of book-to-screen diversifications following Ni Kuang‘s intrepid protagonist Wisely. If you’re on the lookout for a very good Wisely double invoice, essentially the most well-known movie adaptation within the collection is undoubtedly 1986’s The Seventh Curse, which (1) was additionally directed by Nai-Choi and (2) is commonly hailed as Hong Kong’s reply to Evil Dead II.
Available to stream on The Criterion Channel on January 1.
Pedro Almodóvar’s solely horror movie
Synopsis: Renowned plastic surgeon Robert Ledgard is obsessed together with his newest invention: ultra-resilient synthetic pores and skin. Shunned by his colleagues for partaking in human experimentation, Ledgard makes use of Vera, a mysterious captive girl, as a check topic.
Part high-camp telenovela, half Frankenstein riff, and fully unforgettable, 2011’s The Skin I Live In is a divisive, visceral horror-thriller that’s, thus far, the one style foray of the Spanish auteur. A rattling disgrace, contemplating the horrific mélange of influences, visible concepts, and id horror Pedro Almodóvar shows right here.
While the specifics ought to stay a thriller to first time watchers, it’s value understanding that The Skin I Live In suffers from a level of (unwarranted) controversy for sure LGTBQ+ themes. This is wealthy contemplating Almodóvar’s career-long give attention to queer tales past his personal expertise as a homosexual man, in addition to his longstanding dedication to normalizing queer identities on-screen. But on the finish of the day, it is best to watch the movie for your self and make up your personal thoughts. For my cash, The Skin I Live In is without doubt one of the greatest horror movies of the 2010s. We needs to be so fortunate if Almodóvar ever chooses to return to the style.
Available to stream on Tubi on January 1.
Someone let the canines out at ARROW
Synopsis: Bad canine! There are oodles of murderous poodles within the horror style: household pets go incorrect, werewolves stalk the streets, and rabid mutts slobber over contemporary meat. Cult-focused streaming service ARROW throws us a bone with a group of dog-focused horror movies that flip man’s greatest buddy into his worst nightmare.
I don’t know if ARROW and The Criterion Channel are in cahoots, however the cat film assortment and this dog-focused assortment popping out in the identical month is all of the proof I would like that 2024 goes to be a very good yr. Including movies like The Pack, Wolf Guy, and Madhouse, ARROW is barking up the fitting tree. Sure, there are many horror films with heroic pooches. But horror followers know that masochistic mutts are equally entertaining.
Available to stream on ARROW on January 26.
A macabre eye-plucking Spanish thriller
Synopsis: An ex-con suffering from visions of strangling girls is employed as a caretaker at a large nation property owned by three eccentric blue-eyed sisters. Not lengthy after the drifter’s arrival, the ladies fall prey to a serial killer who likes leaving eyeballs in bowls of water like pale, ocular olives in a martini glass. Surely the drifter is responsible of those horrifying murders, proper? Right?!
Boasting the a lot cooler various title House of Psychotic Women, Carlos Aured’s Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll exists someplace between a giallo and a cleaning soap opera. Which signifies that it completely guidelines. The movie enjoys the notoriety of being dubbed a “video nasty” by the British authorities and stars artful Spaniard slasher star Paul Naschy as its very-guilty-looking drifter — who discerning readers would possibly bear in mind from the stupendously foolish The Werewolf vs. The Vampire Woman.
If you’re like me, a twisty title, a very good thriller, and a few stable kills are a sleeper-cell activation phrase. This would make an impressed “weird nymphomaniac sisters in a mansion” double invoice with Andy Warhol’s Dracula or, if ya nasty, The Rats Are Coming! The Werewolves Are Here!
Available to stream on Shudder on January 15.
