Earlier this year, Blumhouse and Amazon struck a deal for eight films in a series called WELCOME TO THE BLUMHOUSE. The first four films – NOCTURNE, EVIL EYE, BLACK BOX, and THE EYE – came out earlier this month, but now we have the official titles and plot descriptions of the final four films in the description below:
The partnership between Blumhouse and Amazon Prime continues when “Welcome to the Blumhouse” returns in 2021 with four brand new horror movies, all of which were previewed today.
Centered around unsettling themes of institutional horrors and personal phobias, the films tap into people’s deepest fears. These social thrillers present a distinctive vision and unique perspective. Similar to the first four films of the program, the slate continues with a thru line theme making it the first ever program of Amazon Original movies on Prime Video that are thematically connected.
