To be honest the first batch of Welcome To The Blumhouse films reaction was a mixed bag. Whilst you could see the films weren’t the worse, they were clearly not strong enough to be released cinematically. Somewhere like Amazon Prime might just be that blessing in disguise the films need.

Welcome To The Blumhouse will return in 2021.
