Five New Horror Movies Releasing This Week and ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ Comes Home! – Bloody Disgusting

This week marks the start of a brand new year, and weve got a whole lot of horror to look forward to in 2022. This months biggest release is of course the return of the Scream franchise, but thats not until the second week of January 2022. What about the first one?

Heres all the new horror you can expect from January 3-9, 2022!

First up, Hotel Poseidon has made its way onto the ARROW streaming service today, now streaming on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Xbox, Samsung (US), Android TV, iOS, Android & web.

In this one, David reluctantly pretends to be the manager of Hotel Poseidon, where fungus covers the walls and comments such as faded glory and has seen better times completely fall short to describe this establishment. He wanders the corridors of his personal Overlook Hotel like a zombie, being a passive spectator to what happens around him. Whether its clients without cash, his mother castrating him with her sharp tongue or the recently deceased aunt in the hallway whose pension kept the place going.

David will gradually lose his balance and tumble into a waking nightmare, in which his hotel is transformed into an existential purgatory. With inner demons on the booze, lustful creatures tempting his lonely soul to sin and a big plunge into the proverbial metaphysical shithole, David can expect some strong comments on Trip Advisor.

Youll find it exclusively over on ARROWs streaming service. Watch the trailer below.
