NETFLIX Horror Films Streaming in September 2017
While we wait for Netflix to reveal what will hopefully be a massive October slate, their streaming slate for September 2017 is pretty disappointing, outside of them releasing two original productions: Tucker & Dale vs Evil director’s The Omen-inspired horror comedy Little Evil and the Stephen King adaptation of Gerald’s Game. September first kicks off, however, will a lot of shark movies…

Jackson (“A Time to Kill,” “Pulp Fiction”), Saffron Burrows (“Celebrity,” “Wing Commander”), LL Cool J (“In the House”), Thomas Jane (“The Thin Red Line”) and Michael Rapaport (“Cop Land”).

Jaws
Directed by Academy Award® winner Steven Spielberg, Jaws set the standard for edge-of-your seat suspense, quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon and forever changing the way audiences experience movies. When the seaside community of Amity finds itself under attack by a dangerous great white shark, the town’s chief of police (Roy Scheider), a young marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss) and a grizzled shark hunter (Robert Shaw) embark on a desperate quest to destroy the beast before it strikes again.

When signs of a new man-eater begin to wash up, Police Chief Brody must convince the town of the danger and kill the monster. Oscar nominee Roy Scheider returns along with the famous John Williams score.
Jaws 3
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water… Swimmers are terrorized when Florida’s Sea World captures a young Great White shark, angering its 35-foot mother!

Little Evil — NETFLIX ORIGINAL FILM
Netflix as they’ll be giving birth to the son of Satan on September 1, 2017, with the horror comedy Little Evil.
Adam Scott stars in as Gary (Scott), who just married Samantha (Evangeline Lilly) only to find out that her 6-year-old son (Owen Atlas) is the Antichrist. It’s like if The Omen were a comedy.

The Walking Dead: Season 7
Picking up immediately after the thrilling cliff hanger, Negan forces Rick and the group to fall under his will, brutally convincing them to live under his rules. To prevent further bloodshed, Rick genuinely believes they can make life under Negan, however terrible, work. But he soon learns that Negan can’t be reasoned with and they must prepare to go to war now. Victory will require more than Alexandria, and Rick will need to convince their new allies from the Kingdom and Hilltop to band together with the common goal of taking down Negan and his army.

Gerald’s Game — NETFLIX ORIGINAL FILM
This is the year of the King. Even though the adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower was a disappointment, it looks as if IT is going to be a nightmare, not to mention we still have Netflix’s Gerald’s Game to look forward to.
We now have the first ever shot from the film, directed by up-and-coming horror icon Mike Flanagan, who was behind Netflix’s Hush, not to mention Ouija: Origin of Eviland Oculus, Before I Wake and Absentia.
It will be premiering at the upcoming Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas.

In the film, based on King’s 1992 novel, “A woman accidentally kills her husband after being handcuffed to a bed, leaving her unable to free herself. As time passes and she realizes that rescue is an all but hopeless thought, she begins to slip into insanity, the voices in her head manifesting into visions.”
Here’s what King recently tweeted after seeing a rough cut:
“Horrifying, hypnotic, terrific. It’s gonna freak you out.“
Flanagan and Jeff Howard adapted the novel. The cast includes Carla Gugino, Henry Thomas, Bruce Greenwood, and Kate Siegel.

1962. Nine-year-old Frankie Scarlatti enjoys a homespun childhood in a rustic Western New York town. The entire community gets into the spirit of Halloween, but then two bullies prank Frankie by locking him in his school cloakroom, leaving him trapped for the night. Alone and afraid, his slumber is interrupted when the ghost of a little girl appears, and Frankie witnesses the specter of her murder by an unseen assailant. Later, while recovering at home, the girl’s ghost appears to him again. With help from his older brother, Frankie begins investigating the circumstances of her death. He soon discovers that her murder was one of several unsolved crimes connected to a local child-killer. As the town’s bucolic veneer fades and long-buried secrets and tensions bubble to the surface, all of the clues to the mystery seem to point towards a huge mansion inhabited by a reclusive woman known as “The Lady in White.”
A nostalgia-driven ghost story wrapped within an intricate murder mystery and coming-of-age drama, writer-director-composer Frank LaLoggia’s passion project Lady in White remains one of the most beautiful and original American horror films of the 1980s. Featuring acclaimed actors Alex Rocco (The Godfather), Len Cariou (Executive Decision), and Sydney Lassick (Carrie, The Unseen), it boasts the first starring role by Lukas Haas (Mars Attacks, Inception) as well as breathtaking photography by Academy Award® winner Russell Carpenter (True Lies, The Lawnmower Man). Vinegar Syndrome is honored to bring this genre masterpiece to 4K UHD, newly restored from its original 35mm camera negative and presented in three versions: its pre-release director’s cut, its extended home-video version, and its original theatrical version, along with an abundance of both new and archival extras.
Paul Lê wrote here on Bloody Disgusting back in 2023, “Over the years, fans have described this film as gateway horror, but they liken it more to The Watcher in the Woods than, say, Hocus Pocus or Casper. There are chilling moments that warrant its PG-13 rating.”
