The monthly series of original films known as “Into the Dark” may be on COVID-related hold over at Hulu, but even a pandemic can’t stop the hardest working producer in Hollywood. Jason Blum has shuffled over to Amazon Prime Video, which announced in August that it would premiere a new collection of Blumhouse productions, starting with four films in October and continuing with another quartet in 2021. Under the banner of “Welcome to the Blumhouse,” these films promise an array of tones and talents, and none of that silly holiday attachment that came with “Into the Dark.” Blumhouse can be a hit-and-miss operation, but the potential that some of these original films merely needed this platform to find a receptive audience is definitely there. Horror fans love to find new voices telling ambitious stories. Unfortunately, the first two features in the ‘Blumhouse’ anthology might not be what they’re looking for.
