No Man Of God – Premieres Friday, November 5 (AMC+ Exclusive)
In 1980, Ted Bundy was sentenced to death by electrocution. In the years that followed, he agreed to disclose the details of his crimes, but only to one man. During the early days of the agency’s criminal profiling unit, FBI analyst Bill Hagmaier (Elijah Wood) met with the incarcerated Ted Bundy (Luke Kirby) in the hopes of understanding the psychology of the serial killer and providing closure for the victims’ families. As Hagmaier delves into Bundy’s dark and twisted mind, a strange and complicated relationship develops that neither man expected. Based on actual transcripts of interviews between Hagmaier and Bundy, No Man of God is “nothing short of riveting. It is a must-see” (Reel News Daily). The film made its critically acclaimed world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Apex – Premieres Friday, November 12 (AMC+ Exclusive) **Day-and-Date Release with Theaters
Serving a life sentence for a crime he didn’t commit, ex-cop Thomas Malone (Bruce Willis) is offered a chance at freedom if he can survive a deadly game of Apex. Six hunters pay for the pleasure of hunting another human on a remote island, but once Malone arrives all hell breaks loose. Laying traps and playing mind games, Malone tries to tunr the table and fight for his life and his future.
Prisoners Of The Ghostland – Premieres Friday, November 19 (Shudder Exclusive on AMC+)
In the treacherous frontier city of Samurai Town, a ruthless bank robber (Nicolas Cage) is sprung from jail by a wealthy warlord, The Governor (Bill Moseley), whose adopted granddaughter Bernice (Sofia Boutella) has run away. Strapped into a leather suit that will self-destruct within five days if he doesn’t find the missing girl, the bandit sets off on a journey to find the young woman — and his own path to redemption. The film was an official selection at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival.
South Of Heaven – Premieres Friday, November 26 (AMC+ Exclusive)
Convicted felon Jimmy (Jason Sudeikis) gets early parole after serving twelve years for armed robbery.

But things are never that simple and when he is given a “side job” from his parole officer (Shea Whigham), it sets off a series of events that leaves Jimmy in the crosshairs of a local crime boss (Mike Colter). Now, he must stop at nothing to save Annie and fight for whatever time they have left.
