Welcome to the Blumhouse: The Manor, Madres trailers promise a terrifying October

Blumhouse and Amazon Prime are teaming up to bring us four new horror movies in the month of October. These films – Black as Night, Bingo Hell, The Manor, and Madres – will be released on Amazon under the Welcome to the Blumhouse banner, and will arrive as two double features. Yesterday we shared the trailers for Black as Night and Bingo Hell, which will be available to watch as of October 1st. Now we have the trailers for the second double feature, which will be released on October 8th. The trailer for The Manor can be seen above, and the trailer for Madres is embedded below.

Written and directed by Axelle Carolyn, The Manor stars Barbara Hershey, Bruce Davison, Nicholas Alexander, Jill Larsen, Fran Bennett, and Katie Amanda Keane. Here’s the information:

Logline
After suffering a mild stroke, Judith Albright reluctantly moves into a historic nursing home where she becomes convinced a supernatural force is killing the residents.

Short Synopsis
A malevolent force preys upon the residents of a sleepy nursing home in The Manor, a gothic tale of terror with a modern twist. When a mild stroke diminishes her ability to care for herself, Judith Albright (Barbara Hershey) moves to Golden Sun Manor, an assisted living facility with a sterling reputation. But despite the best efforts of the staff, and a budding friendship with fellow senior Roland (Bruce Davidson), strange occurrences and nightmarish visions convince Judith that a sinister presence is haunting the massive estate. As residents begin to die mysteriously, Judith’s frantic warnings are dismissed as fantasy. Even her devoted grandson Josh (Nicholas Alexander) thinks her fears are the result of dementia, not demons. With no one willing to believe her, Judith must either escape the confines of the manor, or fall victim to the evil that dwells within it.

The film was executive produced by Jason Blum, Jeremy Gold, Marci Wiseman, Lisa Bruce, Sandy King, and Richard J Bosner.

Ryan Zaragoza directed Madres from a screenplay by Marcella Ochoa and Mario Miscione. The film stars Tenoch Huerta, Ariana Guerra, Evelyn Gonzalez, Kerry Cahill, and Elpidia Carrillo.

Logline
Expecting their first child, a Mexican-American couple move to a migrant farming community in 1970’s California where strange symptoms and terrifying visions threaten their new family.

Short Synopsis
Beto (Tenoch Huerta) and Diana (Ariana Guerra), a young Mexican-American couple expecting their first child, move to a small town in 1970’s California where Beto has been offered a job managing a farm. Isolated from the community and plagued by confusing nightmares, Diana explores the rundown company ranch where they reside, finding a grisly talisman and a box containing the belongings of the previous residents. Her discoveries will lead her to a truth much stranger and more terrifying than she could have possibly imagined.

Madres was executive produced by Jason Blum, Jeremy Gold, Marci Wiseman, Lisa Bruce, Sanjay Sharma, and Matthew Myers.

I still haven’t seen the first four Welcome to the Blumhouse movies (Black Box, The Lie, Evil Eye, and Nocturne) that were released last year, so an eight movie marathon may be in my future.
