Shudder’s Golden Globe Nominated Horror ‘La Llorona’ Is Coming To Digital

RLJE Films, a business unit of AMC Networks, has now picked up the select rights to Shudder’s hit film La Llorona for home release. La Llorona blends together the terror of both myth and reality into a devastating exposé of the genocidal atrocities against the Mayan community in Guatemala. Through a modern retelling of the classic Latin American legend, La Llorona forces a reckoning with not-so-distant crimes that should not have ever have been forgotten.

Juan Ortiz’s Fantastic Phobia Horror-Comedy ‘Fingers’ Now On Shudder

We all have some type of phobia, but one woman’s growing list of irrational fears is spiraling out of control in the horror-comedy Fingers from writer-director-producer Juan Ortiz. Produced by Natalé Olsen (Steve Jobs), the movie stars Sabina Friedman-Seitz (The Boy Downstairs), Jeremy Gardner (Bliss), and Michael St. Michaels (The Greasy Strangler).
