Blumhouse Television and Amazon Prime Video have announced the four new Welcome to the Blumhouse movies that will be coming to the streaming service in 2021.

The second wave of genre films includes The Manor from writer-director Axelle Carolyn, Black as Night from director Maritte Lee Go, Madres from Ryan Zaragoza, and Bingo from director Gigi Saul Guerrero.

The Welcome to the Blumhouse program aims to highlight female and emerging filmmakers, as well as diverse casts, and the films are typically centered around unsettling themes of institutional horrors and personal phobias that tap into people’s deepest fears. These social thrillers present a distinctive vision and unique perspective, and they will launch next year on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories worldwide.
