Something’s hiding in the closet in an exclusive new clip for Shudder’s upcoming horror thriller History of Evil.

Look for History of Evil exclusively on Shudder this Friday, February 23, 2024.

After taking refuge in a safe house with an evil house, things start getting sinister. What’s that noise coming from the closet?

Watch the new clip below, which sees a normal bedtime routine end with the creepy realization that someone, or something, is lurking nearby. And it wants out.

History of Evil is set “In the near future, war and corruption have plagued America and turned it into a theocratic police state. Against the oppression, ordinary citizens have formed a group called The Resistance. One such member, Alegre Dyer, breaks out of political prison and reunites with her husband Ron and daughter Daria. On the run from the militia, the family takes shelter in a remote safe house. But their journey is far from over, as the house’s dark past begins to eat away at Ron, and his earnest desire to keep his family safe is overtaken by something much more sinister.”

The horror film stars Paul Wesley, Jackie Cruz, Murphee Bloom, and Rhonda Johnsson Dents.

Written and directed by Iranian-American filmmaker Bo Mirhosseni, drawing from his parents’ personal experiences with the Iranian revolution, the film is being produced by genre specialists XYZ Films, Under the Shadow outfit Two & Two Pictures and Jake Siegel. Two & Two is run by Lucan Toh and Babak Anvari (Under the Shadow, Wounds).

A Nightmare on Elm Street star Heather Langenkamp adds, “The Soul of Wes Craven reveals not only the soul but the brilliant mind that Wes Craven possessed. From his very humble upbringing to his death from brain cancer, we get a rare glimpse into the wide-ranging influences that made Wes Craven a visionary filmmaker. Illuminating and touching, I learned even more about the man who changed my life by casting me as Nancy Thompson in A Nightmare on Elm Street. This intimate, well-researched look into his life expands my appreciation of the maestro.”
