When modern horror leans heavily on cheap thrills and jump scares, a dose of eerie 19th-century dread feels like a refreshing change of pace. That’s exactly the case with “The Damned,” a haunting thriller that uses dramatic terror to send shivers down your spine, literally.
I unfortunately didn’t get the chance to see “The Damned” in theaters, but I streamed it when it became available for purchase on digital services back in January. Now that it’s found a proper streaming home on Hulu, it feels like the perfect time to talk about it, considering it somewhat slipped through the cracks.
