The birds may be singing and flowers blooming with the promise of spring, but Crackle has more sinister plans in store. Any thoughts of sunshine this March will be eclipsed by an insatiable hunger for horror.
Instead of springtime breezes, the air reeks of fear as the retro slasher film Alice, Sweet Alice brings new meaning to the word “sibling rivalry.” When young Karen is brutally murdered on the day of her first communion, suspicion falls on her older sister Alice. But is Alice really the killer, or is there a more sinister force at work behind this horrific crime?
If you prefer deranged teens over deadly ceremonies, Almost Mercy brings psychopathic vengeance front and center. Jackson and Emily aren’t like the other students – these two budding sociopaths on the brink of a meltdown are out for retribution, and they won’t let anyone stand in the way of their bloodlust.
For an even more sinister spring celebration, The Haunting of Whaley House follows a tour guide and their friends who break into “America’s Most Haunted House”, only to discover that the stories of the malevolent ghosts and blood-soaked history of the house are all true. Will anyone make it out alive? Or will they join the unholy spirits that still dwell within its walls?
