Shudder’s Horror Noire Combines 6 Tales of Terror in a Single Movie

The inspiration behind Horror Noire—Shudder’s just-in-time-for-Halloween new anthology horror movie—has nearly the identical title: the superb documentary Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror.

The 2019 doc gathers actors, administrators, students, journalists, and different film lovers to debate precisely what the title suggests, the historical past of horror movies from the POV of a gaggle of people that haven’t all the time been represented very effectively within the style, each in entrance of and behind the digital camera, through the years—although that’s undoubtedly beginning to change. Horror Noire the doc helps propel that constructive evolution with Horror Noire the narrative movie, which goals to showcase “stories of Black horror from Black directors and screenwriters,” in response to a Shudder press launch. The first trailer has arrived and it appears just like the six tales Horror Noire explores—the titles are “Daddy,” “Bride Before You,” “Brand of Evil,” “The Lake,” “Sundown” and “Fugue State”—span the gamut from historic to modern-day settings, and can goal to frighten with each old school shriek-fests and psychological torment. Check it out!
