STREAM SOME SCREAMS

Welcome back to the BlumHouse.

Last year, Amazon’s Prime Video and BlumHouse Productions — makers of a wide range of horror hits, many of them with modest budgets — teamed to present a four-pack of scary movies in back-to-back weeks during the Halloween season.

It’s back for another year, with Prime dropping two smaller BlumHouse exclusives on Oct. 1, with another pair to follow on Oct. 8: “Bingo Hell” | Oct. 1 | Prime Video >> A 60-something neighborhood activist, Lupita (Adriana Barraza), discovers her local bingo hall has been taken over by a mysterious businessman (Richard Brake) and rallies her elderly friends to fight back against the enigmatic entrepreneur. Along with cries of “Bingo,” however, death follows. Gigi Saul Guerrero directed and cowrote the movie, which also stars L. Scott Caldwell and Joshua Caleb Johnson. “Black as Night” | Oct. 1 | Prime Video >> A decade and a half after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans must deal with … a vampire, who bites into the city’s vulnerable displaced population. When her drug-addicted mom becomes the latest victim of the undead, 15-year old Shawna (Asjha Cooper) vows to even the score. Maritte Lee Go directs from a screenplay by Sherman Payne, and the cast also includes Fabrizio Guido, Mason Beauchamp, Abbie Gayle with Craig Tate and Keith David. “Madres” | Oct. 8 | Prime Video >> In 1970s California, young Mexican-American couple Beto (Tenoch Huerta) and Diana (Ariana Guerra) are expecting their first child and move to a small town where Beto has gotten a job managing a farm. What awaits the couple on the ranch are nightmares and a “grisly talisman and a box containing the belongings of the previous residents.” Ryan Zaragoza directs from a screenplay by Marcella Ochoa and Mario Miscione.

“The Manor” | Oct. 8 | Prime Video >> Writer-director Axelle Carolyn’s gothic tale of horror is set in Golden Sun Manor, an assistedliving facility with a sterling reputation, into which Judith Albright (Barbara Hershey) moves. And while Judith enjoys a friendship with fellow senior Roland (Bruce Davidson), strange occurrences and nightmarish visions convince her that a sinister presence is haunting the massive estate. Even her devoted grandson Josh (Nicholas Alexander) thinks her fears are the result of dementia, not demons, so she may have to escape to survive.
