Shudder Adds In May: Psycho Goreman, Skull: The Mask, More

Shudder will add a bunch of new original films and more this May, as the best bargain in streaming continues to bolster its already robust line-up. One of the films coming to the service is Psycho Goreman, destined for cult status and a mega-fun watch. Skull: The Mask is the original that interests me the most this month, and new episodes of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs will debut every Friday. You can see the full list of what is coming to Shudder in May, along with the descriptions of the originals down below.

Shudder Adds For May 2021

Fried Barry – Premieres May 7 

Fried Barry follows the story of a drug-addled degenerate who, after yet another bender, gets abducted by aliens. Barry takes a backseat as his alien visitor assumes control of his body and takes it for a joyride through Cape Town. What follows is an onslaught of drugs, sex, and violence as Barry's alien tourist enters the weird and wonderful world of humankind. The feature directorial debut from award-winning music video director Ryan Kruger and starring newcomer Gary Green, the genre-pushing, acid-washed, sci-fi horror has been praised by critics and embraced by fans around the world. 

The Reckoning – Premieres May 13 

After losing her husband during the Great Plague, Grace Haverstock (Charlotte Kirk, Ocean's 8) is unjustly accused of being a witch and placed in the custody of England's most ruthless witch-hunter, Judge Moorcroft (Sean Pertwee, Dog Soldiers). Forced to endure physical and emotional torture while steadfastly maintaining her innocence, Grace must face her own inner demons as the Devil himself starts to work his way into her mind. Directed by the modern master of horror Neil Marshall (The Descent, Dog Soldiers, Game of Thrones), The Reckoning was written by Marshall, star Charlotte Kirk, and Edward Evers-Swindell.  

PG: Psycho Goreman – Premieres May 20  

In PG: Psycho Goreman, young siblings Mimi and Luke unwittingly resurrect an ancient alien overlord who was entombed on Earth millions of years ago after a failed attempt to destroy the universe. They nickname the evil creature Psycho Goreman (or PG for short) and use the magical amulet they discovered to force him to obey their childish whims. It isn't long before PG's reappearance draws the attention of intergalactic friends and foes from across the cosmos, and a rogues' gallery of alien combatants converges in small-town suburbia to battle for the fate of the galaxy. 

Skull: The Mask – Premieres May 27 

In this splatter-filled supernatural slasher, a Pre-Columbian artifact contains the spirit of Anhangá, the executioner of the god Tahawantinsupay. Whoever wears the masked is possessed by Anhangá and compelled to commit sacrifices to resurrect his god. It's up to a museum assistant and a policewoman to stop the slaughter before the ritual is completed. A throwback treat for fans of '80s slashers and gory practical effects. Written and directed by Armando Fonseca and Kapel Furman, who previously co-directed 2016's Uptake Fear, Skull: The Mask stars Brazilian wrestling champion Rurik Jr., Wilton Andrade, Natallia Rodrigues, Ivo Müller, Ricardo Gelli Guta Ruiz, Gilda Nomacce, and Tristan Aronovich.
