Blumhouse has been extremely quiet during the pandemic, but is making some noise with Amazon Studios as we head into the Halloween season.
Get ready for four brand new Blumhouse-produced movies all arriving for free on Amazon Prime this coming October.
“Welcome to the Blumhouse” is a program of eight unsettling genre movies with each film presenting a distinctive vision and unique perspective on common themes centered around family and love as redemptive or destructive forces.
Amazon Prime Video will launch the initial slate of four films as double features starting on October 6 with The Lie directed by acclaimed writer/director Veena Sud (The Killing, 7 Seconds) and Black Box directed by up-and-coming writer/director Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour Jr. (Born with It).
Launching the following week on October 13 is Evil Eye, from talented young directors Elan Dassani and Rajeev Dassani (A Day’s Work, Jinn) and executive produced by Priyanka Chopra Jonas (Quantico, White Tiger), and Nocturne written and directed by filmmaker Zu Quirke (Zugzwang, Ghosting) making her feature film debut.
