The selection of movies and shows is fine. A lot of B horror films, which I knew going in. My issue is it is a SCAM! I cancelled my account twice and they continued to charge me. They do not send a co... See more

Wow so many crappy reviews, this just validates what a lot of people say; aggrieved folks WILL take the time whine and moan about their "bad" experiences but most folks who love something will rarely... See more

Very poor selection of movies, with many not even in English. Updates on average only one new movie a month.. multiple times the app locks you out, won’t let you back in until to change your password... See more

Poor choice of selection. Did a 7 day trial, obviously had to add my debit card details. Then once I searched the whole app and didn't watch a single movie. I went to cancel and sure enough, the app w... See more

Never heard of this company before

Never heard of this company before, but discovered money had been deposited *into* my account this morning, 24 August. I checked my statement and they'd taken money out on 2 August. I'm on hold to CBA to block them, if possible. I'd really like to know how and where they got my card information and why they were able to complete transactions without my consent.

Unauthorised charges

It seems they’ve moved on from CBA to Bendigo Bank now, I’ve just had to cancel my card and get a reissue because of unauthorised shudder charges when I’ve never heard of shudder in my life. Luckily the bank caught it before the transaction could go through but this company is nothing more than a scam.

Fraudulent company

Fraudulent company - never used this service and both mine and another family member had unauthorised transactions on our NAB accounts linked to cards we BARELY use. Totally dodgy. They started with CBA accounts and have no moved on to NAB - beware!

Never heard of this company but got notifications on the CBA (Commonwealth Bank) App about a charge. I've just been charged AUD $8.43. The App shows as "pending" but the website it does not show anything.

I'm not sure if the transaction will go through. Tried calling CBA but have to wait 1hr!!! and have been told that they cannot do anything about it until the transaction has gone through???

Two unauthorised charges on my account just then

Two charges on my account just then! With cba and have a card I never use on a daily basis. Have to wait until morning to call the bank now.such a hassle. Never heard of this site and seems like only cba is affected. Reconsidering banking with cba.

Shudder scam

Yeah, same here. Just found unauthorised charge of $8.13 too. Had no idea of the company and certainly did not subscribe. Fraudulent and on long wait call to Commbank, cancelling card. I wonder if all our Commbank accounts were compromised last month when all the banks were hit?

Confirms your payment details to a third party even when you haven't signed up for their site

What sort of security does this company have for processing credit cards if a huge number of bank clients in another country are suddenly charged for its services despite never previously being aware of the company's existence? Some of the credit cards caught up in this have never been used before so no one but the bank and client have the number.

Fix the security for processing payments - you obviously have a loophole which doesn't stop failed attempts to use the same card number. You're putting people at risk and now I'm stuck on hold waiting to my bank to get this sorted seeing as you've just confirmed to some anonymous third party my credit card details for them to use.

Also had notifications that money had been taken out, but not reflecting in my account. Called CBA and they said they're declining everyone's to be safe so that's why it doesn't show. Had to cancel my card and get a new one. It will be someone or some people using shudder to see if the cards work before moving on to other things they can use it on

Cancelled but still being charged

Cancelled my subscription in Feb 2021 but continued to be charged every month. They purposefully don't send you email confirmation of your cancellation despite their website clearly showing you have no access to the service. Customer service representatives are unhelpful liars. Furthermore, the selection of content is abyssmal. Never give your card details to this company.
