With the highly anticipated reimagining of Faces of Death by Daniel Goldhaber, the intriguing Exit 8, which brings the unsettling atmosphere of liminal-space video games to the screen, and the arrival of a trashy collection of twisted childhood fairy tales (Winnie the Pooh, Bambi, Peter Pan), July is shaping up to be a particularly bloody and diverse month for horror fans.
Here’s what’s coming to Shudder in July 2026.

Faces of Death (Daniel Goldhaber) – Streaming July 10
Faces of Death continues exploring the infamous original film and its enduring question: “Is it real or not?”
When a woman (Barbie Ferreira, Euphoria) working as a content moderator for a major video platform discovers what appear to be recreations of murders from the original film, she is drawn into a disturbing mystery. In an online world where nothing can be trusted, she must determine whether the violence is staged fiction or unfolding in real time.

Inspired by the viral video game, Exit 8 follows a man (Kazunari Ninomiya) trapped in an endless, sterile subway corridor as he desperately searches for Exit 8.
