Netflix has just announced their line-up for the films they're going to be streaming next month. And while there are some gems there – BACK TO THE FUTURE and ACE VENTURA, for instance – as well as things like…NORM OF THE NORTH: FAMILY VACATION…there are also some choice horror films as well. This includes the original UNDERWORLD trilogy (UNDERWORLD, UNDERWORLD: EVOLUTION, and UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS), which were about:
Vampires engage in an age-old battle with their sworn enemies, the Lycans, a clan of violent werewolves. Selene (Kate Beckinsale), a vampire orphaned in the wake of a bloody Lycan attack, works for the vampire clan as a trained killer. When the Lycans take a mysterious interest in Michael Corvin (Scott Speedman), an exceptional mortal doctor, Selene struggles to save him from Lucian, a ruthless Lycan leader hellbent on ending the vampire bloodline.
Beyond that, other horror films coming next month include SINISTER, starring Ethan Hawk:
True-crime writer Ellison Oswald Is in a slump; he hasn’t had a best seller in more than 10 years and is becoming increasingly desperate for a hit. So, when he discovers the existence of a snuff film showing the deaths of a family, he vows to solve the mystery. He moves his own family into the victims’ home and gets to work. However, when old film footage and other clues hint at the presence of a supernatural force, Ellison learns that living in the house may be fatal.
and the Jennifer Lawrence horror film HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET:
In search of a fresh start, divorcee Sarah (Elisabeth Shue) and her daughter, Elissa (Max Thieriot), find their dream house in a small town. But when startling, unexplainable events begin, the pair learn that a chilling secret holds the town in its grip. Years earlier a girl killed her parents and disappeared, leaving a brother, Ryan, as the sole survivor. Elissa begins a relationship with Ryan, and the closer they get, the deeper they’re all pulled into a dangerous mystery.
Honestly, as good as SINISTER and HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET may be, I'm just here for UNDERWORLD. Watching them somewhat recently, they still hold up for what they are (cheesy, Goth-drenched, anime-inspired action films), and it will be a fun distraction to stream and revisit again.
