I came here because a Google search said this site was totally free with no sds, for the best Bloomhouse Horror movies. Now I find out there is no free version, only a $5.99 per month subscription. You can see a few trailer clips. I’m pretty sure it’s a good app & great Horror movies. […]

Cool content, but you’ll never get to finish it. Tried on this app, the Xbox, my fire stick, AND the web page on my Mac. Same thing. Screens freezing and shutting down and IF you can get it back on, it’s at the beginning. Fast forward takes several mins and it usually crashes while you […]

I’m a huge horror movie fan, so I was excited by this app. It also has hard to find films and shorts. Unfortunately, I can hardly ever watch anything. If the app opens at all, the films can never seem to play without constantly freezing or buffering. I can’t even watch the trailers without them […]

Worst customer service ever. Scheduled show isn’t on at all. You try to ask customer “support” why not and they send back an email about a totally different platform, showing they didn’t even read your issue. You call them on that and they send you a questionnaire about a technical problem. Marketed that X show […]

I can not cancel the freakin subscription! I read the directions on how to unsubscribe through the Google app store and when I go in to the store under subscription, Shudder is not on there. I emailed them several times and the only response I got was “due to the high volume of requests we […]

After having this app for over a year i suddenly find that i cant watch anything on it. I get a message when i try to play a movie saying that i need to confirm your account to stream. I follow instructions but nothing worked. I have contacted them on line because there is no […]

This app is riddled with bugs and is prone to hard crashes, but my main problem(s) are with the service. When I realized that most of the movies and shows on here are free on other services like Plex or Kanopy, I sought to unsubscribe. I got a notification that I successfully did so on […]

Why would you break your app– an app for a horror movie service– in the same month as Halloween!? Your timing is almost as bad as what you’ve done to Chromecasting on this app. Guess I’m going to have to hit up Vudu for the Halloween horror movie party tomorrow. I’m going to stay subscribed, […]

I love the content but I’m constantly struggling with signing in, password recovery, or my paid subscription not registering properly while still paying for it. Also for some reason, the app cannot be paused by Bluetooth headphones. I listen alot while at work and have to walk away from my phone from time to time […]

At this very moment in time, it is within my 7 day trial. I want to cancel with a refund as the selection of horror movies are better on Netflix. There are too many foreign movies on this service. I cannot follow movies with subtitles. When the clock hits midnight, my trial period is over. […]

Another disappointing review, because the app no longer works with chromecast. I reached out and emailed tech support, with no response. I have looked online and others were saying that if you clear the cache in the app settings it may fix the problem, it didn’t work for me. What a disappointment. Hopefully they are […]

If you like constant buffering, this is the site for you! I had a code for a 30-day free trial and I don’t think it’s going to be worth more than that. It has some decent movies, but what’s the point if they keep stalling/buffering every 5 min?? I’ve tried it on many different devices […]

App is OK. Shudder could do better as far as the amount of new, FF, indie and international films. There’s plenty of old school “campy” horror films out there. For the price there should be a much larger, more diverse selection of all types. Shudder, you were the 1st horror movie app for many, and […]

Shudder is pretty cool. I wish I could give it a 5 star rating but a lot of the selections can be found on Tubi for free, with commercials and Amazon Prime, which is more expensive but has a greater quantity of horror plus other genres. Btw,Tubi has everyone beat for quantity. Shudder only seems […]

I love this app, but it could definitely use better features. Most notably, the ability to remove a movie from “continue watching.” Movies I’ve already finished or have decided not to finish stay there in limbo. It’s also a bit tricky on starting where you left off if you pause and go back to a […]

Mostly for avid horror fans! I did the trial version and forgot to cancel, so paid for a year up front. It was only like $60, and I love horror, so I figured we’d probably watch a few things and make it worth it in a year. I’m so glad I accidentally signed up! I’ve […]

I was literally on cloud 9 knowing there’s an app that only shows thrillers and horror movies. I downloaded it and subscribed immediately. First, I had to delete and reinstall the app on my apple tv 4 times because it kept getting stuck on shudder TV and not moving to other menu items. Then, you […]

love the service and horror movies i get to watch. my low rating is about the app. it’s terribly done and freezes up a lot even after using it on my brand new phone. i don’t want to compare it to netflix, but why can’t they do the app similar to that? or tubi?! both […]

some good to ok movies. there are not new ones added often, unless you don’t mind reading subtitles. I am canceling my subscription. there was a price increase last year. now another huge price increase. I could see paying more for a streaming service if there was improvement. I see little to justify a price […]

It’s alright. There’s not a whole lot more available here than any of my other services. I don’t like that the only option is to pay ahead for a whole year. I’d prefer to subscribe a few months a year as I don’t have nearly enough time to watch everything I want before it expires. […]
