If you’re into short horror, the folks at ALTER have you covered. Rue Morgue wants to make sure you’re up-to-date on all of the cool stuff they have coming up, so each month we’ll be highlighting their upcoming releases. Take a look at what they have planned for July 2022:
Angel (July 5)
Director: Dicky Chalmers
When a girl goes back to a guy’s house following a dating app hook-up, she becomes suspicious of his true intentions after discovering his obsession with cooking ramen broth, and a strange AI digital assistant called Angel.
The Retreat (July 7)
Director: Marcus Anthony Thomas
What do you do when the man who killed your child roams the streets freely? When you can´t shake the pain or the anger from your bones. What do you do? Nothing. You sit back and you move on. That’s how society works. But what if there was a place that could help you, not to move on, but to move through? A place that could take that man, that murderer, and present him to you on a silver platter. Would you do the unthinkable?
Banshee (July 12)
Director: Matt Ditko
A string of bizarre missing person cases leads two troubled teenagers to investigate their town’s forbidden forest where Steve plays one final prank on his little sister Joanne before disappearing for good. The solo journey to find her brother becomes a terrifying voyage through the heart of darkness as the forest comes to life stalking Jo’s every turn.
Hysteric (July 14)

Death in Charge (July 21)
Director: Devi Snively
An impatient single mom leaves her nine year old daughter, Whitney, with Death, carelessly mistaking the dark-cloaked, scythe-carrying Reaper for her tardy babysitter.
