History of Evil premiered on Shudder on February 23, 2024. It’s a dystopian thriller in which a family fleeing an authoritarian, post-collapse America takes shelter in a house with a violent, racist history of its own.
According to People, Wesley says that History of Evil is “not only a genuinely terrifying thriller, but it is also a story that is deep in metaphor and very much a cautionary tale — and quite relevant to today.”
He continues, “Personally, I feel that the best genre films are those that provoke thought and have a deeper meaning, and our film History of Evil very much accomplishes that.”
