With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options—not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves–each week we highlight the noteworthy titles that have recently hit platforms. Check out this week’s selections below and past round-ups here.
The Beach House (Jeffrey A. Brown)
There’s a lot to like about Jeffrey A. Brown’s feature directorial debut The Beach House, from its gorgeous production design to its ruminations on mankind’s fragility when compared with Mother Nature’s hardier offerings (despite our penchant for believing we hold dominion over Her). It’s therefore easy to appreciate the reason Emily (Liana Liberato), Randall (Noah Le Gros), Mitch (Jake Weber), and Jane (Maryanne Nagel) have arrived at a site that may end up being their tomb because we’re quick to ignore the baked-in irony too. This was supposed to be an escape from life’s struggles—a...

Not the most horrific of horror movie titles but The Beach House features two college sweethearts on a getaway to the sea and the aforementioned beach house. Shortly after their arrival they come across some unexpected guests and an environment that doesn’t seem to want them their.
The Beach House somehow manages to feel very familiar, even to the pint that if features quite a few horror clichés, but still highly original too. It ‘borrows’ ideas from some horror and sci-fi classics but brings plenty of its own aswell, which many of the best movies do.
It’s a classic slow-burn style with the first half of the film just introducing its characters (only four ‘proper’ in total) and then setting up...

This was supposed to be an escape from life’s struggles—a place for quiet relaxation to say what needs to be said and appreciate what might be gone tomorrow. So when the opposite proves true, we understand the fear that inevitably takes over.
The reason is simple: that fear is never far from our minds. What occurs to...

"Don't be scared." Shudder has revealed an official Us trailer for the indie "cosmic sci-fi horror" film called The Beach House, marking the directorial debut of filmmaker Jeffrey A. Brown. This premiered at a few genre film festivals in Europe last fall, and will be streaming on Shudder this summer. A romantic getaway for two troubled college sweethearts turns into a struggle for survival when the guests - and the surrounding environment - begin to show signs of a mysterious infection. The Beach House is described as "a striking and timely eco-horror that offers up an alluring mix of claustrophobic isolation, mysterious contagion, and dreamy seaside setting with a show-stealing lead performance from Liana Liberato." In addition to Liana, the film also stars Noah Le Gros, Jake Weber, and Maryanne Nagel. This seems to have a bit of that Lovecraftian cosmic vibe, with some mysterious infection and slimy creatures slowly taking over.

There are some independent horror films in which all the pieces are in place for success. The cast is strong, the visuals evocative, the direction precise. It can be a movie that, for all intents and purposes, “works.” And, yet, due to the subjective nature of art, we as the viewer feel disconnected in some way. We recognize the pieces, we recognize the successes, but in trying to grab hold of something in the film our hands ultimately close on air. For me, this describes the experience of The Beach House.
The feature debut of writer/director Jeffrey A. Brown, The Beach House stars Liana Liberato and Noah Le Gros as Emily and Randall, respectively, two young people who steal away for some time alone at Randall’s family beach house. Upon arriving there, though, they discover they’re not alone: another couple, the older Jane (Maryanne Nagel) and Mitch...

George A. Romero Presents Deadtime Stories Volume 1 Directed By: Jeff Monahan, Michael Fischa and Tom Savini Written By: Jeff Monahan Starring: Jeff Monahan, Nick Mancuso, Bingo O'Malley, Maryann Nagel, Amy Marsalis and George A. Romero I’ve been so starved for any little morsel of horror I can get my hands on this summer that I jumped at the chance to review this new offering from horror maestro George A. Romero. What a waste. My husband (who will watch anything) pronounced that it was crap within five minutes and left the room in a huff. I stuck around for the entire stink-fest. This “anthology” is comprised of three short films, interspersed with Romero sitting in a chair, cracking corny little intros that make the Crypt Keeper look like a master of prose. It’s a pity to see such a legend (Night of the Living Dead) reduced to this embarrassing...
