‘Saint Maud’, ‘Crawl’, ‘Child’s Play’ and More Added to Paramount Plus This Week

Published

on

Paramount+ is adding more than 1,000 titles to their streaming service this coming Thursday, June 10, and many of them are quality horror films. This will bring the streamer’s total of films to 2,500 by the end of summer.

Here’s a small sampling of titles revealed:

  • A24’s latest religious horror Saint Maud, which Joe Lipsett called an “exquisite religious psychological thriller”.
  • The Sam Raimi-produced and Alex Aja-directed survival thriller Crawl (review), which pits a young woman, trapped in the middle of a category 5 hurricane, against alligators.
  • Orion Pictures’ Child’s Play (review) remake, which turns Chucky into a killer robot with A.I.
  • Orion’s atmospheric horror fairytale, Gretel & Hansel, which Meagan wrote “casts a moody, high-concept spell.”
  • The Pet Sematary remake from Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer that Meagan raved about out of the SXSW premiere. (A Paramount+ sequel is in the works.)
  • The Haunting (1999): A remake in which “a study in fear escalates into a nightmare for a professor and three subjects trapped in a mysterious mansion.”
  • Paranormal Activity 3 & 4
  • Arachnophobia (1990)
  • Body Cam
  • Terminator: Dark Fate

It’s also worth noting that, a month later, somewhere in the July 10th range, A Quiet Place Part II will be headed to the streaming service following its hugely successful theatrical run.

From the press release: “The move to boost the film lineup comes as ViacomCBS bows its new, less-expensive $4.99/month plan for Paramount Plus with ads, available starting Monday. Unlike the predecessor CBS All Access with ads at $5.99/month — which is being discontinued — the Paramount Plus Essential package does not provide access to local CBS stations. (The no-adds $9.99/month Paramount Plus Premium does include CBS locals.)”

Sydney Sweeney horror

After making an impressive $21 million at the worldwide box office, NEON’s new horror movie Immaculate starring Sydney Sweeney has surprise-released at home this week.

Beginning today, Immaculate is now available for digital purchase ($19.99) and rental ($9.99)! We’ve also learned that the film is coming to Blu-ray and DVD on June 11, 2024.

The home release comes on the heels of Immaculate’s massive success at the United States box office, quickly becoming an audience favorite, grossing over $15.2mm and counting, and remaining in the U.S. box office top 10 for three weeks. The Blu-ray and DVD will feature a commentary track from director Michael Mohan, NEON has let us know this morning.

The horror film reunites Sydney Sweeney with director Michael Mohan (The Voyeurs), who directed from a script by Andrew LobelSweeney stars in Immaculate as Cecilia, a woman of devout faith who is offered a fulfilling new role at an illustrious Italian convent.

“Her warm welcome to the picture-perfect Italian countryside is soon interrupted as it becomes clearer to Cecilia that her new home harbors some dark and horrifying secrets.”

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “Sydney Sweeney is this familiar religious horror movie’s saving grace. Sister Cecilia is a doe-eyed innocent whose unlikely circumstances force her into a tremendously satisfying arc. She attempts to outmaneuver a powerful foe, and when things really go off the rails, Sweeney plunges headfirst into a primal ferocity that leads to one bold, crowd-cheering conclusion.”

Here’s the full list of new horror movie releases for this week.
