AMC+ Review: A Must-Have Streamer for Horror Fans
Streaming Smarter says: AMC+ is a nice streaming service, but it falls short of “must-have.” It’s best for fans of horror, since you’ll get the full Shudder library included. Users will get to see some content from Acorn TV, WE TV, BBC America, Sundance Now, and IFC Films. AMC+ works well as a “change of pace” when you want a break from your go-to streamers.

What Movies Does AMC+ Have?
The AMC+ movie library changes frequently, but you will find Hollywood hits like “My Cousin Vinny,” “Tombstone,” “Pulp Fiction,” “Goodfellas,” “Armageddon,” “Grease,” “Major League,” “Spaceballs,” and “True Lies.”
The included Shudder library is a special treat for horror fans with titles like “Red Rooms,” “Oddity,” “Late Night With the Devil,” “Watcher,” “Humane,” “Revenge,” “Grafted,” “Threads,” and “Speak No Evil.” Shudder’s entire focus is horror, so there’s aways something chilling to watch.
What TV Shows Does AMC+ Have?
The TV library includes “The Walking Dead” and its many spinoffs. You’ll also see standouts like “Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches,” “Dark Winds,” “Mad Men,” “Orphan Black,” “Fallen,” “Snowpiercer,” “Love After Lockup,” and “Portlandia.”
What Kids Content Does AMC+ Have?
AMC+ is not a good choice for kids. Almost all the content is aimed at adults and the Shudder and “Walking Dead” images may give children nightmares.
What Sports Does AMC+ Have?
AMC+ doesn’t have any sports.
Does AMC+ Have Originals?
Yes, AMC+ is home to a limited number of originals like “Gangs of London,” “Ultra City Smiths,” “Kin,” “Happy Valley,” and “Show Me More.” Because it produces so few originals, I normally don’t recommend AMC+.
Can You Download AMC+ Content?
If you have an ad-free plan, you can download movies and TV shows.

Can You Add AMC+ as a Prime Video Channel?
Yes. If you prefer to access AMC+ inside Prime Video, you can add it as a channel.
Is AMC+ Worth It?
If you’re a horror fan, I can see AMC+ being worth the subscription. Shudder is a top-notch horror streamer that costs $6.99 on its own, so it makes sense to enjoy the extras that come with AMC+. “Mad Men” is an all-time great drama, but that alone can’t justify the subscription.
If you’re a fan of non-horror movies, TV, sports, and kids entertainment, I’d recommend choosing another streaming service.
