Looking for something scary to watch this weekend? We’ve got just the thing. Get ready for a chilling trip back to the 1980s! Shudder’s original horror film, Night of the Reaper, is out now! This psychological horror thriller promises a spine-chilling cat-and-mouse game in a quiet, suburban setting.
The film centers on college student Deena (Jessica Clement), who takes on a last-minute babysitting job. At the same time, the local sheriff receives a cryptic package that pulls him into a sinister scavenger hunt. As the night goes on, the two stories collide, trapping Deena in a nightmarish mystery that she may not survive.
Directed by Brandon Christensen, known for his work on Still/Born and Z, Night of the Reaper is a throwback to classic slasher films, blending suspense and thrills with a retro feel. Christensen, who often explores themes of family and psychological terror, brings his unique style to this new film.
Christensen has established a name for himself in the horror genre, focusing on complex family dynamics and his ability to create scares in broad daylight. His films, including Still/Born, Z, and The Puppetman, have explored the fears of parenthood and the supernatural.
The cast for the film includes “Riverdale” actor Ryan Robbins, Summer H. Howell (Curse of Chucky), Matty Finochio (“The Order”), and Jessica Clement (“Gen V“).
