Here are the treats in store for you:

The Devil’s Hour

This chilling six-episode series comes to you from the producers of Dracula and Sherlock. The Devil’s Hour takes you into the dark recesses of a woman’s life who wakes up every day exactly at 3:33 am, in the middle of 3 and 4 a.m., infamously known as the devil’s hour. Starring Jessica Raine, Peter Capaldi and Phil Dunster, this British-origin series will be streaming on Prime Video from October 28.

The Black Phone 

Ethan Hawke rules the screen as a child-abducting psychopath called ‘The Grabber’ in this horror flick, where a black phone connects his past child victims to his latest conquest. A critical and commercial success, The Black Phone grossed over 161 million dollars on the box office, and saw one of Hawke’s most terrifying performances till date. Produced by Universal Studios, the film also stars Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw.

Orphan: First Kill 

Directed by horror veteran William Bell Brent, Orphan: First Kill is a mind-numbing psychological horror that will leave you with goosebumps. Isabelle Fuhrman plays Esther, who, after planning a clever escape from an Estonian Psychiatric facility, travels to America by impersonating the missing daughter of a wealthy family. Also starring Julia Stiles, this horror thriller will be available to stream on Prime Video. 

X 

When a sneaky plan of making an adult film under the nose of an elderly couple goes wrong, a bunch of actors find out they have to bear consequences as they run for their lives. With homages to 20th-century slasher films—particularly 1974's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre—X is critically acclaimed for building a space for itself in the slasher film genre. The film has an ensemble cast of Mia Goth, Jenna Ortega and Brittany Snow, among many others.

Run Sweetheart Run 

Director Shana Feste brings a bone-chilling thriller where a single mother (Ella Balinska) tries to escape the torment of a psychopath after her blind date goes sour. Portraying said psychopath, Pilou Asbaek’s character is the stuff your nightmares are made of. The film premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, and will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on October 28.

Goodnight Mommy 

As twin brothers (Cameron Crovetti, Nicholas Crovetti) arrive at their mother’s (Naomi Watts) farm estate, they find her with a bandage-clad face. As a series of ominous events occur, they are forced to wonder whether the woman they fall asleep to is even their mother at all. A Prime Video original, this chilling horror directed by Matt Sobel is set to raise the hair at the back of your neck.

My Best Friend’s Exorcism 

Find out how best friends Gretchen and Abbie grapple with an otherworldly demon in this dark horror comedy directed by Damon Thomas. Starring Elsie Fisher, Amiah Miller, and Rachel Ogechi Kanu, My Best Friend’s Exorcism tests Gretchen and Abbie’s friendship, and takes viewers into a sardonically humorous adventure as they try to get rid of the demonic possession.
