Can always use a new email address. Or the same one if you have @gmail.com you can use @googlemail.com and the system will see it as a new email address that isn't yet registered.

I really wanted to like this service. So much of the originals and best films are foreign with subtitles. Still great films and not a problem for some people so I'm probably being picky lol. Also don't expect your expected classic horrors. There are some gems on here and a fun community, but I decided, even as an avid horror nut, just not for me unfortunately.

Can't grumble at 30 days free so have some heat (edited)

Omg.... all Hollywood does is ripnoff foreign movies and badly. I started watching chinese and japanese films 30 yrs ago. Hmv usedvto have a speciality foreign video section. Some awesome films... the 5 years later you would get some american version. Rec is a prime example of superb spanish com horror,... then america dished out quarantine and it just ruined it.

I understand you completely. It's just a little more of a hassle for some with eye conditions to read the subtitles

Snap, I'm a huge horror fan and just wasn't for me. Think I watched a few oldies, like Dooms Asylum and the new Creep Show TV series

Lake Mungo
The Power
Violation
Revenge
Fried Barry

All well worth a watch, as well as Host, as others have mentioned.

When does the voucher expire?

I'm not sure it does. That code has been working for the last 2 years so you could (with a little bit of work) just use it again and again with a new email address

I did the trial a few months ago so not available for me. I watched Host (Shudder Original) which is short but definitely worth a watch.

Additionally you can add as many dots as you want in your Gmail email address, for eg abcxyz@gmail.com, abc.xyz@gmail.com, a.b.c.x.y.z@gmail.com all will go to the same email address.

@dbertman a great spot and a great channel. This and Arrow complete my prime viewing needs!

We got 3 months for 3 quid (£1 per month) through Amazon prime so it is worth it for the few good 'uns but we won't be renewing as we're not huge horror fans.

Would highly recommend "Relic" and for those who can get over the 1 inch barrier of subtitles, the Guillermo del Toro style Mexican film "Tigers are not afraid".

Thanks to previous poster Krooner for the recommendations which we will be checking out.

Variations of adding dots before the @ symbol in your gmail address also works.
For example: yourname@gmail.com
y.ourname
yo.urname
you.rname
your.name

Etc…

Can this be used with prime viewing

Can’t complain at a free trial but this service should be so much better than it is. Amazon prime has a better selection of horror - I only have this for the select few originals and the amazing 80’s horror docs ‘in search of darkness 1+2’

Host is worth a watch on here

Great shout man, thanks!!!

Downside for me is there is not app for my smart TVs to watch this on!

Heat for the 30 days! I sign up to this every now and then for a month or two once they've 'replenished' their new arrivals. I find there's not enough decent content to warrant continuous subscription, and personally, I find their user interface/navigation the worse I've seen. They try to be clever with how they name genres/categories and I just find it frustrating, myself.

Some great gems on the service, though


Edit: one thing which may be of help to someone is, I found the service 'stuttered' when streaming on a Fire Stick Lite. Was only when upgrading to a Fire Stick 4K did the issue stop. (edited)

I’ve used shudder for a few months. You find a few ‘diamond in the rough’ fanatic horror movies but I would probably say that’s one in ten. Five in 10 are poor, while the other four are acceptable.

Worth a go for any horror nerds

Thank you

Heat added. Joined with a different Email address. Thanks to OP

Airplay or Chromecast?

Heat but I'm staying away.....get the willies watching horror

I have Niether airplay does not work with it! (edited)

Can anyone else confirm: 'You can cancel before the first payment but you lose access from the minute you cancel so might want to set a reminder to cancel before you get billed'

A shame if it's still the case? Also anyone know any links recommending what's worth watching/hidden gems etc? (edited)

My vpn is set to America but when i press play it directs me to the google play store and then says unavailable in your country.
How do you get around that?

Sorry for the questions but i can't get the app on google play or play on web browser. I press play then it takes me to the app store.
What browser are you using and what vpn.
I have nord set to america and i can see the titles but without nord it wont work at all.
Thanks for your replies.

Where did you download the app from?
And what browser please.
There is a film i can only find on tubi and cant watch it (edited)

Nice one,will try it later.Hope i can get it for my firestick

I thought I'd unexpire - hopefully the code still works

BUT the best thing is I had 30 days due to expire 31/10/21 and went to cancel - clicked too expensive & offered anther free month - now shows next payment will be 30/11/21

Cheers OP - just in time for Halloween

Just stumbled upon this. It seems to be working! Got a 30 day trial just now using the code.
