In practically no time at all, Shudder has established itself as the prime streaming destination for all sorts of hidden gems in the horror genre. Let's put it this way, for a recent example: Any platform that provides a home for a fever dream as genuinely unhinged and utterly unforgettable as Phil Tippett's "Mad God" deserves all the plaudits and appreciation it gets.

Not content to rest on such refreshing success stories, however, Shudder is moving ahead with its next prized acquisition. "Glorious" alternately awed, scared, and delighted festival audiences upon its premiere at this year's Fantasia Fest, ahead of its recent debut on streaming. /Film's Matt Donato reviewed the film, describing it as, "Slimy, icky cosmic horror gets existential in a roadway rest stop bathroom to embrace single-location simplicity, yet existential provocation is infinite.

"Glorious" follows a man named Wes (Ryan Kwanten) who struggles to regain his bearings following a particularly rough breakup. Naturally, that goes awry when he finds himself locked in a bathroom and accosted by a Lovecraftian monster (J.K. Simmons).

Who among us can't relate to an adorable teddy bear bringing back all sorts of unpleasant memories of a ruined relationship? Unfortunately, what Wes will presumably stumble upon next will be unlike anything most of us could even fathom. It's safe to say that this relatively ordinary-looking scene doesn't quite reflect the madness that the story will ultimately unleash.

"Glorious" is directed by Rebekah McKendry, best known for writing and directing 2018's "All the Creatures Were Stirring," and written by Todd Rigney, Joshua Hull, and David Ian McKendry. The largely one-location horror/comedy promises to deliver everything fans of the genre could possibly want, with the director going so far as to tease the film as:
