I Stream, You Stream: The FoG Streaming Movie Update for April 2020

This is your monthly curated update of the newest offerings in horror from three of the most popular streaming video services: Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Shudder. Leave a comment below to let others know your thoughts about these or anything else that is streaming.

Each of the 5 categories below has a handful of relatively newly available movies in each: Recommended (I've seen and like), Looks Interesting (I haven't personally seen it, but looks intriguing), FOG Canon (subject of a previous or upcoming Fear of God podcast episode, or sequel/prequel/remake-of), Heads Up (I’ve seen & don’t necessarily recommend or I intentionally skipped, but...I think some of you out there would appreciate a heads up). I’ve also included a category of TV Shows for horror/thriller/sci-fi series that have added new seasons and that I recommended or look intriguing.
