Fired up AMC+ app today. Still haven't played anything.

Went straight to Shudder section - there seem to less (horror) movies 
here than you might have been lead to believe (which is why I never 
subscribed to Shudder myself), though there's actually more than at 
first appears if you know what to search for.

I find the AMC+ app clunky, but I've seen worse.

I do like that there's a "Live" TV section, with streams for AMC, IFC, 
BBC America, and Sundance, along with FAST channels for Shudder, "AMC+" 
and The Walking Dead.
