Exciting Additions Coming to Shudder in January: ‘Suitable Flesh’ and More!
Joe Lynch, known for directing films like “Wrong Turn 2” and “Mayhem,” brings his latest creation, “Suitable Flesh,” inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Thing On The Doorstep,” to Shudder in the upcoming month. But that’s not the only horror gem joining the lineup in January.
“The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula” will conclude its current season with the last two episodes airing on January 9 and January 16, marking the end of a brief holiday break. Additionally, the much-anticipated splatter-comedy “Destroy All Neighbors” released its trailer, showcasing intense practical effects, and is set to premiere on January 12.
On January 18, the AMC Original series “Preacher,” co-produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, lands on Shudder. This supernatural adventure series follows a preacher seeking God with the aid of a vampire and his ex-partner. Starring Dominic Cooper and Ruth Negga, the show is based on the graphic novel series by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, originally published by DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint.
The month’s culmination arrives with “Suitable Flesh” on January 26, featuring a story revolving around a psychiatrist who, after a tragic incident, witnesses her life descend into supernatural chaos, entwined with an ancient curse. The film stars Heather Graham, Judah Lewis, Bruce Davison, Johnathon Schaech, and Jonah Ray.
