Welcome to the Blumhouse is an Anthology Horror-Thriller film series that debuted on Prime Video in 2020.
Created as a joint co-production between Amazon Studios, and (as you may have guessed from the title) Blumhouse Productions, they began with four films released in 2020, followed by an additional four films slated for 2021. Each quad of films is based upon a specific theme, with the first set revolving around "family and love as redemptive or destructive forces", and the second quad on "institutional horrors and personal phobias."
Films in the series so far include:
- The Lie (2018 initial festival release, with a wide release in 2020)
- Black Box (2020)
- Evil Eye (2020)
- Nocturne (2020)
- Bingo Hell (2021)
- Black As Night (2021)
- Madres (2021)
- The Manor (2021)
Tropes in the series as a whole include:
- Genre Mashup: The series deliberately does not stick to one genre, with each film veering slightly off, although they all maintain keep some amount of the horror/thriller vibe.
- In Case You Forgot Who Wrote It: The series is literally named after the parent production company, which is named after the founder, Jason Blum. It's not particularly subtle.
