Shudder to Usher in ‘Night’s End’ in March

Written by John Edward Betancourt

There are a great many reasons to love the streaming service, Shudder. Because not only have they brought classic franchises back to life, such as The Last Drive In with Joe Bob Briggs and George Romero’s Creepshow (courtesy of Romero alum Greg Nicotero and superfan Craig Engler), but they continue to just load their library up with brilliant horror films. The kind that are filled to the brim with powerful commentary on our modern world or feature scares that reflect what happens outside. But above all else, what truly makes their selection worth our while, is that so many of their movies prey upon our primal fears.
​
Because that’s what really engages horror fans and leaves them uncomfortable when the lights go out and it just so happens, that Shudder is about to be host to another ‘primal’ horror film. For earlier today, the network announced that Night’s End is coming to the service at the end of March, and this looks to be a film that is going to prey upon our fears of the night and of what awaits us in the afterlife and well… here are all the details on what will undoubtedly be, another perfect addition to the perfect horror streaming service, courtesy of Shudder.

‘Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural announced today the release for Jennifer Reeder’s upcoming film Night’s End starring Geno Walker (South Side, Chicago Fire), Kate Arrington (Mare of Easttown, Ray Donovan), Felonious Munk (For Life, Block Party) and Michael Shannon (Knives Out, Nine Perfect Strangers). A Shudder Original Film, Night’s End is set for release in North America, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Ireland on Thursday, March 31. 

“Jennifer Reeder is an exciting and bold filmmaker who was an integral part of V/H/S/94, Shudder’s most watched movie ever,” said Craig Engler, general manager of Shudder. “Night’s End is eerie but human, sharply written and sure to surprise our members this March.” 

Said Jennifer Reeder, “As a longtime Shudder fan, I am deeply honored to now be part of the Shudder fam! I've made two Shudder films this year, which feels like a dream (although both films play out more like nightmares). Throughout the process of making these films with Shudder, I have felt enormously supported and my creative vision protected and amplified. Shudder cares as much about filmmakers as they do about films which is a rare and coveted combination.”

In Night’s End, an anxious shut-in unwittingly moves into a haunted apartment and hires a mysterious stranger to perform an exorcism which takes a horrific turn. The film also stars Lawrence Grimm (Chicago Med), Daniel Kyri (Chicago Fire), Theo Germaine (The Politician) and Morgan Reesh (Blood Below the Skin). 

Written by Brett Nevue, Night’s End is an Original Shudder Production in association with Crow Island Films and Institutional Quality Production. The film is produced by Neal Edelstein, Nevue and David E. Tolchinsky and executive produced by Reeder and Shudder’s Emily Gotto.’
