Shudder Horror Noire Trailer 2021

AMC took this 2021 movie from their SHUDDER tv streaming service and broke it into 

three separate one-hour shows, which premiered last week on the AMC network.

Focused on African-American horror, and written and directed by prominent black

creators the dark stories are told in six 30-minute segments.

"The Lake" is a moody atmospheric piece with a twist ending about a suspicious

high-school teacher who moves and purchases a home on a lake where bad things

happened and people are warned not to swim there. 

  "Brand of Evil" is a disturbing tale of a talented but broke mural artist who receives

a lucrative commission from an unknown source. 

Definitely worth your time. FIVE STARS.
