AMC’s horror subscription streaming platform is veering from snowbound chills to communion-tinged horror this August, with a side order of an Elijah Wood-starring FrightFest favourite.

Here’s the line-up:

The Communion Girl – 11th August

Spain, late 1980s. Newcomer Sara (Carla Campra) tries to fit in with the other teens in this tight-knit small town in the province of Tarrgona. If only she were more like her extroverted best friend, Rebe (Aina Quiñones). They go out one night to a nightclub and on the way home they come upon a little girl holding a doll, dressed for her first communion. And that’s when the nightmare begins.

Bad Things – 18th August

A weekend getaway for a few girlfriends at a snowy resort becomes a psychological tailspin and bloody nightmare. Long-deceased guests and the space itself come to life in this haunting thriller. Starring Gayle Rankin (GLOW), Hari Nef (Barbie), Rad Pereira (Betty) and Molly Ringwald (Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club).

Manfish (1956) – 1st August

Three deep sea divers get involved in murder while searching for a lost treasure.

Vampir – 1st August

A man from London comes to a small remote village in Serbia to look after the cemetery. He starts to have nightmarish visions and suspects the friendly villagers have a more sinister intention for him.

Amigo – 11th August

A fiction feature film that brings together psychological thriller and black comedy, bordering on the macabre, all in the form of an intimate drama.

America Latina – 14th August

Massimo is a dentist from Latina, happily married with two daughters. One day he goes down to the cellar for housework and finds a girl tied up and gagged, asking for help.

Come to Daddy – 21st August

A man in his thirties travels to a remote cabin to reconnect with his estranged father.
