There’s nothing quite like streamer schedule day to get us excited for what’s coming soon. We’ve taken a look at Paramount+, Prime and ARROW so now it’s the turn of our favourite horror streamer, Shudder, to tell us what they have planned for January 2025.
There’s two exclusive premieres in January to remind us that there’s never a bad time for new horror titles. First up comes Grafted starring Jess Hong from Netflix’s 3 Body Problem. That film will stream on January 24 and will be followed by Dark Match on January 31.
Here’s a closer look at some of January’s biggest releases:
Grafted
Shudder Original Film, Premiere’s Exclusively on January 24, 2025
Chinese scholarship student Wei (Jess Hong, 3 Body Problem) travels to New Zealand to study medical research at a prestigious university. Shy, introverted, and hiding a genetic facial birthmark, Wei is shunned by her social butterfly cousin Angela and her glamorous friends. Determined to change her fate, Wei immerses herself in her late father’s research, working on a revolutionary skin grafting procedure that could cure her deformity. As her experiments take a dark turn, she becomes more dangerous and unhinged, willing to eliminate anyone who threatens her secret.
Dark Match
Shudder Original Film, Premiere’s Exclusively on January 31, 2025
A small-time wrestling company accepts a well-paying but too good to be true gig in a backwoods town only to learn, too late, that the community is run by a mysterious cult leader… and their event is now a pay-per-view fight to the death. Starring WWE superstar Chris Jericho, Sara Canning (Influencer, The Vampire Diaries), Steven Ogg (The Walking Dead, Snowpiercer) and Michael Ecklund (Antlers).
Horror’s Greatest

A deep dive into everything we love about horror — from fresh looks at classics to unearthing scores of hidden gems, this series has something for every fright film enthusiast. A gallery of ghoulish pros, including actors, directors, writers, composers, and special effects artists, draw on their unique knowledge to answer the big questions: What are the must-see films in horror’s many sub-genres? What’s the appeal of horror tropes, and how do today’s filmmakers subvert our expectations? What shape does horror take in countries outside of the United States? The answers encompass the breath of the nightmares we watch for our entertainment.
