ARCADIAN - Still 3

Coming to Shudder | July 2024

Few titles will be coming to Shudder in July 2024, but two really tempting ones are on the way. 

There will also be some big titles among Shudder’s older offerings. 

The premieres

Arcadian (Benjamin Brewer) | Available from July 12

Set in the near future, life on Earth has been decimated. Paul (Nicolas Cage) and his twin teenage sons, Thomas (Jaeden Martell) and Joseph (Maxwell Jenkins), find tranquility by day but torment by night.

When Paul is nearly killed, the boys come up with a desperate plan for survival, using everything their father taught them to keep him alive.
