Get ready for a chilling trip back to the 1980s! Shudder is set to premiere the new original horror film, Night of the Reaper, this September. This psychological horror thriller promises a spine-chilling cat-and-mouse game in a quiet, suburban setting.
A Terrifying Game Unfolds
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.
The trailer has just arrived, giving us glimpses at the chaos that descends upon the small town and a killer that stalks the night.
