Amazon Prime Video has announced “Welcome to the Blumhouse”, a program of eight unsettling, genre movies being produced by Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Television and Amazon Studios.
Each film presents a distinctive vision and unique perspective on common themes centered around family and love as redemptive or destructive forces. It’s also the first ever program of thematically connected Amazon Original movies on Prime.
Timed for the Halloween season, the initial slate consists of four films shown as double features while the latter four films will launch in 2021.
The first is Veena Sud’s “The Lie” and Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour Jr.’s “Black Box” which both arrive on October 6th. The following week on October 13th comes Elan and Rajeev Dassani’s “Evil Eye” and Zu Quirke’s “Nocturne”.
“The Lie” stars Mireille Enos and Peter Sarsgaard star as desperate parents attempting to cover up a horrific crime – their teenaged daughter impulsively killing her best friend.
“Black Box” stars Mamoudou Athie as a man who loses his wife and his memory in a car accident. The now single father undergoes an agonizing experimental treatment causing him to question who he really is.
“Evil Eye” follows a mother who becomes convinced her daughter’s new boyfriend has a dark connection to her own past. Sarita Choudhury, Sunita Mani and Omar Maskati star.
Finally, “Nocturne” stars Sydney Sweeney as a timid arts academy student who begins to outshine her more accomplished and outgoing twin sister when she discovers a mysterious notebook belonging to a recently deceased classmate.
