Written by John Edward Betancourt

There are a great many reasons to love the horror streaming service, Shudder. Such as the fact that it is the best horror streamer around and it always has the best possible movies for its fans to choose from. But above all else, it is their original programming that really is the biggest reason to tune in. Simply because what they create on their own is downright stunning and thoughtful and powerful. For their original stories are being assembled by true fans of the genre and the brightest minds in the industry and the end result has always been breathtaking.
​
If anything, the original production arm of Shudder and what they produce is top of mind today, simply because… earlier today the network announced the release date and some additional details for the Shudder Original, Who Invited Them. So, without further ado, here are those new details and the release date in question, for what will undoubtedly be another amazing original movie from the only network that truly understands the wonder and majesty of horror.

‘Shudder, AMC Network’s premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural, has announced that its latest Shudder Original Film, horror-comedy Who Invited Them from writer/director Duncan Birmingham (Maron, Blunt Talk), will be available exclusively on Shudder in the US, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand on Thursday, September 1. Shudder holds worldwide rights to the film, which made its U.S. premiere at New Orleans’ Overlook Film Festival, and stars Ryan Hansen (Party Down), Melissa Tang (The Kominsky Method), Timothy Granaderos (13 Reasons Why) and Perry Mattfeld (In the Dark).
 
“Who Invited Them puts a fresh, fun twist on the home invasion genre. It’s darkly comic yet shockingly sinister. We can’t wait for Shudder members to check out the party,” said Shudder general manager Craig Engler.
 
Added Birmingham, ”Some of my favorite filmmakers have their films on Shudder and everyone knows horror fans make the best audiences so it’s a real thrill for our dark twisted labor of love to find a home there. I’m very excited to be part the family.”
 
In Who invited Them, Adam and Margo’s (Hansen, Tang) housewarming party is a success. However, one mysterious couple (Granaderos, Mattfeld) linger long after all the other guests have left. The uninvited couple reveals themselves to be their wealthy neighbors, Tom and Sasha. But as a single nightcap leads to another, Adam and Margo start to suspect these new friends are actually duplicitous strangers.
 
The feature is a Shudder Original Production, produced by Mary Pat Bentel (This Close, Holly Slept Over). The deal was negotiated by Emily Gotto and Nicholas Lazo on behalf of Shudder and Bentel on behalf of the filmmakers.
