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).
