Badass grannies battle bingo tyrants in a Bingo Hell trailer exclusive

Mexican acting veteran Adriana Barraza—who horror fans may recognize from Sam Raimi’s Drag Me To Hell, or Penny Dreadful: City Of Angels—stars as Lupita, a retiree in the rapidly gentrifying neighborhood of Oak Springs who cares for her community like her own children. One way she does this is by sneaking a little extra money into the envelopes of winners at the bingo games she runs at the local community center. But one day, Lupita very suddenly finds herself usurped by a garish new bingo hall, Mr. Big’s, whose prizes are suspiciously large and whose owner, Mr. Big (Richard Brake, a.k.a. The Night King on Game Of Thrones), has a sinister evil-preacher type of vibe. Greed, goop, and gambling ensue, for a horror tale with a delirious style reminiscent of the work of Stuart Gordon and a well-calibrated balance between real-world issues and outrageous fun.

Bingo Hell kicks off the second season of the Welcome To The Blumhouse series, which also features the New Orleans-set vampire film Black As Night, from director Maritte Lee Go (October 1); Madres, a grisly story set on an isolated ranch in ‘70s California from Ryan Zaragoza (October 8); and The Manor, a “gothic tale of terror with a modern twist” from Axelle Carolyn (October 8).

Bingo Hell premieres on Amazon Prime on October 1.
