“That’s the basement… we don’t go down there anymore.” Shudder has unveiled the official trailer for the film Night of the Reaper, a horror thriller in a small town. This hasn’t premiered at any festivals before, but will be out on Shudder for streaming next month just before the horror season kicks off. In the wake of the brutal murder of a teenaged babysitter, college student Deena returns back home for the weekend and is roped into a babysitting gig of her own. When the local sheriff is mailed a piece of evidence that proves the murder may not have been an isolated incident, he is led on a strange scavenger hunt to reveal the killer may be planning a sequel. From genre director Brandon Christensen, this stars Jessica Clement as Deena, along with Matty Finochio, Ryan Robbins, Summer H. Howell, Max Christensen, Ben Cockell, & Bryn Samuel. Alas this just looks like another generic slasher without anything new or interesting to offer.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Brandon Christensen’s horror Night of the Reaper, via YouTube:
In the heart of a quiet, 1980s suburb, college student Deena returns home and reluctantly takes on a last-minute babysitting job. That same night, the local sheriff receives a cryptic package that pulls him into a sinister scavenger hunt that sets off a game of cat & mouse with a dangerous killer. As the clues unravel, she finds herself ensnared in a nightmarish mystery she may not survive. Night of the Reaper is directed by VFX artist / genre filmmaker Brandon Christensen, director of the films Still/Born, Z, Superhost, and The Puppetman previously. The script is written by Brandon Christensen and Ryan Christensen. Produced by David Hiatt, Matt Manjourides, Justin A. Martell, Michael Peterson. Shudder will release Christensen’s horror movie Night of the Reaper streaming on Shudder starting on September 19th, 2025 coming soon.
