Amazon Studios and Blumhouse Television teamed up to bring us “Welcome to the Blumhouse”, a program of eight thematically connected films, presented in double feature style.

Sharing the spine-tingling suspense that’s a Blumhouse signature, each film presents a distinctive vision and unique perspective on common themes centered around family and love as redemptive or destructive forces. This slate marks the first ever program of Amazon Original movies on Prime Video that are thematically connected. The films showcase exciting up-and-coming talent, alongside established actors in exceptional and shocking new roles.

The initial slate of four films as double features starting with The Lie directed by acclaimed writer/director Veena Sud, and Black Box directed by up-and-coming writer/director Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour Jr.

Black Box and The Lie were released to Amazon Prime on October 6th, and Summer and Noah dive into their observations and appreciations about these films, and check out Noah’s review of The Lie.

How do these first films in the Amazon-Blumhouse collaboration work for you? Let us know! Call 602-635-6976 and leave a message, send Summer an email, or in the comments below!
