You mention horror, and we hear "Shudder," which is not that surprising given how amazing the streaming service is. Founded in 2015, Shudder has long been the best platform for horror fanatics, with its seamless addition of new films and TV shows every month, ranging from psychological thrillers to supernatural horrors.

Additionally, Shudder has lately begun to offer original content, which is why there is no better streaming service when it comes to watching horror. Having said that, like with every other month, the streamer intends to end the year with some of the best it has to offer, whether it's a recently released slasher thriller or a mind-bending psychological horror from the 1990s. To that end, here's every movie coming to Shudder in December 2024.

A Creature Was Stirring...

Late Night with the Devil and The Cleansing Hour both feature broadcasts taken over by supernatural beings. The films share common themes but are set in different time periods. The similarities between the movies make them an ideal double feature, highlighting timeless horror elements.

The upcoming horror film Late Night with the Devil shares some broad strokes and thematic elements with 2019's The Cleansing Hour, but the similarities make both movies even better. Written and directed by Colin and Cameron Cairnes, Late Night with the Devil focuses on Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchian), the host of late-night talk show Night Owls. Set in the 1970s, Delroy tries to combat falling ratings by bringing on a spooky panel of guests for a Halloween taping, including the potentially demonically possessed Lilly (Ingrid Torelli).

Directed by Damien LeVeck, The Cleansing Hour takes place in the modern-day and focuses on a livestream produced by best...

Stars: Chrissy Metz, Annalise Basso, Scout Taylor-Compton, Connor Paolo | Written by Shannon Wells | Directed by Damien LeVeck

I wasn’t going to review A Creature Was Stirring. After The Sacrifice Game, There’s Something in the Barn, Nightmare on 34th Street and Santa Isn’t Real, I was pretty well played out on Christmas horror films. But then I noticed it was directed by Damien LeVeck whose other feature was The Cleansing Hour, one of the better recent paranormal investigator films., based on that I decided to give it a look.

“We just have to keep this up until it breaks” Faith tells her daughter Charm, only to be met with the reply “The blizzard or me?” Looking at the assortment of syringes, pills and a rectal thermometer laid out on the kitchen counter that response seemed anything but snarky.

Then she leads her upstairs to her room and locks her in,...

If you’re looking for a brand new holiday horror movie to watch on the road to Christmas, A Creature Was Stirring is now available from Well Go USA Entertainment!

Chrissy Metz (“This Is Us”) stars alongside Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween) in A Creature Was Stirring, which you can rent on your favorite VOD platform today.

Preview the brand new holiday horror movie by watching the trailer below.

A Creature Was Stirring has been rated “R” for “Violence, bloody images, drug content, language and some sexual references.”

A Creature Was Stirring “follows the overprotective mother and professional nurse Faith (Metz), who keeps her teenage daughter (Annalise Basso) locked securely in her room and subjected to constant methadone injections, their only means of sustaining a delicately balanced fever state that keeps a mysterious and terrifying affliction at bay.

“However, when a pair of strangers (Scout Taylor-Compton and Connor Paolo) breaks into the...

Well Go USA Entertainment gave the Christmas horror film called A Creature Was Stirring, which stars Chrissy Metz (This Is Us) and Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween), a limited theatrical release this past Friday, and the movie is now available on VOD – for example, you can rent or purchase it on Amazon’s Prime Video at This Link. To help you decide whether or not A Creature Was Stirring is something you’d like to watch this holiday season, we have the film’s trailer embedded above.

Directed by Damien LeVeck (The Cleansing Hour) from a screenplay by first-time writer Shannon Wells, A Creature Was Stirring also stars Connor Paolo (Friend Request) and Annalise Basso (Oculus). The film centers on the overprotective mother and professional nurse Faith (Metz), who keeps her teenage daughter (Basso) locked securely in her room and subjected to constant methadone injections, their only means of...

Seeking shelter from a blizzard during Christmastime, two hikers (played by Scout Taylor-Compton and Connor Paolo) get more than they bargained for when they break into the house of a mother (Chrissy Metz) and her daughter (Annalise Basso), who are harboring a transformative—and deadly—secret in the new (and very aptly named) holiday horror film A Creature Was Stirring.

An eerily unpredictable and intensely entertaining gift for horror fans to unwrap this holiday season, A Creature Was Stirring is coming to theaters on December 8th and Digital on December 12th via Well Go USA.

In a new video interview, Daily Dead had the great pleasure of catching up with star Scout Taylor-Compton and director Damien LeVeck to discuss the making of their ambitious new movie, from Shannon Wells' impressive script and the movie's exploration of damaging addictions to bringing the film's haunting creature to life with palpable practical effects...

The differences between Damien LeVeck’s sophomore effort A Creature Was Stirring and his feature debut The Cleansing Hour are staggering. His instincts are ironclad in the cleanly polished and despicable exorcism thriller that stands as one of Shudder’s best original releases in 2020. Unfortunately, A Creature Was Stirring doesn’t replicate the same accomplished approach as an ambitious yet scattershot blast of subgenres. Psychological chills, creature thrills, and family dysfunction become this unfocused commentary on the looming specter of addiction. LeVeck takes risk after risk — the filmmaker’s fearlessness should not be ignored — but there’s a befuddling all-over-the-place-ness that does not play into the film’s favor.

Chrissy Metz (of This Is Us fame) stars as the seemingly single mother Faith, who we meet barricaded inside with her daughter Charm (Annalise Basso) during a lethal blizzard. Now, Charm suffers from some affliction that Faith uses her nursing background...

Looking to rob a house on Christmas, a pair of burglars instead discover a deadly secret hidden by a mother and daughter (Chrissy Metz and Annalise Basso) in the trailer for the new holiday horror film A Creature Was Stirring.

Directed by Damien LeVeck, written by Shannon Wells, and produced by Natalie Leveck & Aaron B. Koontz, A Creature Was Stirring stars Chrissy Metz, Annalise Basso, Scout Taylor-Compton, and Connor Paolo. The film will be released in select theaters on December 8th followed by a VOD release on December 12th via Well Go USA.

Synopsis: "Faith (Chrissy Metz) keeps her troubled teenage daughter (Annalise Basso) on a tightly controlled regimen of experimental drugs, their only means of fending off a mysterious, terrifying affliction. But after two burglars attempt to rob the home on Christmas, they stumble upon a long-kept family secret—with monstrous consequences."

"Something is wrong here..." Well Go USA has revealed the official trailer for an indie horror film called A Creature Was Stirring, made by filmmaker Damien LeVeck. This is getting a quick VOD release coming up in December, timed to be available the Holidays if you need to add any more Christmas horror to your watch list this year. Faith keeps her troubled teenage daughter on a tightly controlled but illicit pill regimen in order to ward off a terrifying affliction. However after a Christmas burglary, their dark family secret may finally be exposed. Uninvited strangers take shelter in her house during a lethal blizzard, and a monster is unleashed... Chrissy Metz stars with Annalise Basso, Scout Taylor-Compton, Connor Paolo, and George Schichtle. The poster art pretty much sets up what you're about to get, and the trailer has a few glimpses as well. I like the candy cane light,...

The Christmas horror movie A Creature Was Stirring is on the way this holiday season from Well Go USA Entertainment, and we’ve got the trailer for you today.

Chrissy Metz (“This Is Us”) stars alongside Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween) in the film, which comes to theaters December 8 and VOD outlets on December 12.

A Creature Was Stirring has been rated “R” for “Violence, bloody images, drug content, language and some sexual references.”

Watch the trailer below, which goes heavy on the colorful Christmas lighting and the practical creature feature mayhem. Two things we always love to see in our Christmas Horror.

A Creature Was Stirring “follows the overprotective mother and professional nurse Faith (Metz), who keeps her teenage daughter (Annalise Basso) locked securely in her room and subjected to constant methadone injections, their only means of sustaining a delicately balanced fever state that keeps a mysterious and terrifying affliction at bay.

For every great exorcism-themed horror movie, there are a handful of forgettable ones. Despite this lopsided equation, possession movies are still popular, with recent releases like The Pope’s Exorcist and Evil Dead Rise having success in theaters and on streaming platforms.

While many exorcism-themed horror movies can turn audiences off, the scariest in the genre stand out for their compelling stories, top-notch performances, terrifying jump scares, and genuine thrills. Hit movies from this genre, like The Conjuring and The Exorcist, have a tangible sense of realism that haunts audiences long after the film is over.

Updated October 9, 2023, by Anthony Jeanetta. With The Exorcist: Believer, fans of possession and exorcism movies have yet another high-profile film in these genres to explore. This list is updated to include more of the best and scariest exorcism-themed horror movies.

Currently streaming on Shudder, The Cleansing Hour is centered around an online exorcist (Ryan Guzman) who gets more than he bargained for when he comes face to face with a real demon during one of his sham exorcism shows. Caught in the middle is Lane (played by Alix Angelis), an aspiring actress who ends up being an unwilling host to the malevolent force, and the clock is ticking to save her soul and banish the demonic force from her body forever before it’s too late.

Daily Dead recently had the opportunity to speak with Angelis about her experiences working on The Cleansing Hour, and she discussed collaborating with the film’ director, Damien LeVeck, as well as the physical challenges that came with taking on the role of a woman possessed by pure evil.
