'UNWELCOME' IRISH FOLKLORE AND AN AMERICAN COUPLE IN 'QUICKSAND' DEBUTING ON SHUDDER

SHUDDER is without a doubt one of best sources for new, original horror. Ask any horror fan what streaming services have the best horror selections and you’ll no doubt hear SHUDDER’s name in everyone’s top 3. One of reasons SHUDDER continues to elevate the genre is through their continued investment in distributing independent horror from around the world. With the upcoming release of UNWELCOME and QUICKSAND, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better home for horror this summer!

From the Press Release:

Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thrillers and the supernatural will debut the new creature feature Unwelcome on Friday, June 23. Survival thriller Quicksand moves to Friday, July 14.

In Unwelcome, married couple Maya and Jamie escape their urban nightmare to the tranquility of rural Ireland only to discover malevolent and murderous goblins lurking in the gnarled, ancient wood at the foot of their new garden. As warned by their new neighbors, in Irish mythology, the Redcaps will come when called to help souls in dire need of rescue, but it’s crucial to remember that there is always a dear price to pay for their aid. Starring Hannah John-Kamen (Red Sonja, Ready Player One), Douglas Booth (That Dirty Black Bag, The Dirt) and Colm Meaney (Gangs of London, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), Jamie-Lee O’Donnell (6 Degrees, Derry Girls), Chris Walley (Bloodlands, The Young Offenders) and Kristian Nairn (Game of Thrones).

In Quicksand, an American couple, on the brink of divorce, travel to Colombia for a work conference. While on a hike through the rainforest, a storm causes them to become trapped in a pit of quicksand. Unable to move, it becomes a struggle for survival as they battle the elements of the jungle and a venomous snake, in order to escape. Starring Carolina Gaitàn (Encanto) and Allan Hawco (Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan).
