It’s not your fault that AMC Networks minimize 20% of its workforce in 2022. You’re doing all of your finest and we see you.

The streaming service dunce of the month is Disney+ as a result of the sky is blue and the solar rises within the east. These goobers not often add any horror content material to their slop trough and I’m going to proceed to name them out on it.

Horror Streaming Highlights for January 2024

Decide of the Month — The Cat (1992)

Synopsis: A kitty cat, a knight, and a magical lady from past the celebs band collectively to thwart the evil machinations of an enormous alien mould monster that wishes to take over planet Earth.

If that plot abstract didn’t seize you, suck on this: The Cat was directed by Lam Nai-Choi, a.ok.a. the madman behind Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky. Bursting with trademark Golden Harvest madness, The Cat is a goopy, brain-melting expertise that have to be seen to be believed.

Whereas it’s unabashed uniqueness suggests in any other case, The Cat is definitely a part of an unofficial franchise of book-to-screen variations following Ni Kuang‘s intrepid protagonist Correctly. If you happen to’re on the lookout for Correctly double invoice, probably the most well-known movie adaptation within the collection is undoubtedly 1986’s The Seventh Curse, which (1) was additionally directed by Nai-Choi and (2) is commonly hailed as Hong Kong’s reply to Evil Useless II.

Obtainable to stream on The Criterion Channel on January 1.

Pedro Almodóvar’s solely horror movie

Synopsis: Famend plastic surgeon Robert Ledgard is obsessed together with his newest invention: ultra-resilient synthetic pores and skin. Shunned by his colleagues for partaking in human experimentation, Ledgard makes use of Vera, a mysterious captive girl, as a take a look at topic.

Half high-camp telenovela, half Frankenstein riff, and fully unforgettable, 2011’s The Pores and skin I Dwell In is a divisive, visceral horror-thriller that’s, thus far, the one style foray of the Spanish auteur.  A rattling disgrace, contemplating the horrific mélange of influences, visible concepts, and id horror Pedro Almodóvar shows right here.

Whereas the specifics ought to stay a thriller to first time watchers, it’s price understanding that The Pores and skin I Dwell In suffers from a level of (unwarranted) controversy for sure LGTBQ+  themes. That is wealthy contemplating Almodóvar’s career-long concentrate on queer tales past his personal expertise as a homosexual man, in addition to his longstanding dedication to normalizing queer identities on-screen. However on the finish of the day, it is best to watch the movie for your self and make up your individual thoughts. For my cash, The Pores and skin I Dwell In is among the finest horror movies of the 2010s. We ought to be so fortunate if Almodóvar ever chooses to return to the style.

Obtainable to stream on Tubi on January 1.

Somebody let the canine out at ARROW

Synopsis: Dangerous canine! There are oodles of murderous poodles within the horror style: household pets go unsuitable, werewolves stalk the streets, and rabid mutts slobber over contemporary meat. Cult-focused streaming service ARROW throws us a bone with a group of dog-focused horror movies that flip man’s finest good friend into his worst nightmare.

I don’t know if ARROW and The Criterion Channel are in cahoots, however the cat film assortment and this dog-focused assortment popping out in the identical month is all of the proof I want that 2024 goes to be yr. Together with movies like The Pack, Wolf Man, and Madhouse, ARROW is barking up the proper tree. Positive, there are many horror films with heroic pooches. However horror followers know that masochistic mutts are equally entertaining.

Obtainable to stream on ARROW on January 26.

A macabre eye-plucking Spanish thriller

Synopsis: An ex-con suffering from visions of strangling girls is employed as a caretaker at an enormous nation property owned by three eccentric blue-eyed sisters. Not lengthy after the drifter’s arrival, the ladies fall prey to a serial killer who likes leaving eyeballs in bowls of water like pale, ocular olives in a martini glass. Certainly the drifter is responsible of those horrifying murders, proper? Proper?! 

Boasting the a lot cooler various title Home of Psychotic Ladies, Carlos Aured’s Blue Eyes of the Damaged Doll exists someplace between a giallo and a cleaning soap opera. Which implies that it completely guidelines. The movie enjoys the notoriety of being dubbed a “video nasty” by the British authorities and stars artful Spaniard slasher star Paul Naschy as its very-guilty-looking drifter — who discerning readers may keep in mind from the stupendously foolish The Werewolf vs. The Vampire Lady.

If you happen to’re like me, a twisty title, thriller, and a few strong kills are a sleeper-cell activation phrase. This is able to make an impressed “bizarre nymphomaniac sisters in a mansion” double invoice with Andy Warhol’s Dracula or, if ya nasty, The Rats Are Coming! The Werewolves Are Right here!

Obtainable to stream on Shudder on January 15.
