The month of August won’t be ultra-rich in new releases for Shudder, but the 2 titles that will be arriving are rather promising. Personally, it’s Bad Things that’s got my attention, which I’ll tell you about in a few days’ time.
Here are the titles coming to Shudder in August 2023.
The premieres
The communion girl [La niña de la comunión] (Victor Garcia) | Starting August 11, 2023
Spain, late 1980s. Newcomer Sara (Carla Campra) tries to fit in with the other teens in this tight-knit small town in the province of Tarrgona. If only she were more like her extroverted best friend, Rebe (Aina Quiñones). They go out one night at a nightclub, on the way home, they come upon a little girl holding a doll, dressed for her first communion. And that’s when the nightmare begins.
Spain often produces very good horror films. That’s enough to make you want to watch this one.
