Four new horror movies are set to premiere on Amazon Prime video over the next two weeks, and each one is more terrifying than the next.
The films are part of a new series on the streaming site called "Welcome to the Blumhouse," from the producers of films such as "Get Out," "Split," and "Paranormal Activity."
Two of the movies, psychological thriller "The Lie" and sci-fi horror film "Black Box," premiere Tuesday. The other two, "Nocturne" and "Evil Eye," will hit Prime video on October 13.
While they're all equally horrifying, each of the films are independent of one another, focusing on completely different characters, plots, and settings.
Here's everything you need to know about each of the four spooky films hitting Amazon Prime video this month.
Joey King stars in "The Lie," a tense psychological thriller focused on a teenage girl and her divorced parents.
Who's in it: Joey King, Peter Sarsgaard, and Mireille Enos
What it's about: "The Lie" focuses on the volatile relationship between two divorced parents (Sarsgaard and Enos) who reunite after their daughter commits a terrible crime. It's tense and chilling, complete with a horrifying twist ending.
King plays Kayla, a teenage girl whose grief over her parents' divorce and jealousy over her beautiful friend Britney seemingly lead her to murder. After she tells her parents she pushed Britney off a remote countryside bridge, they concoct a plan to protect Kayla and cover up her crime — and end up taking things to a whole new level.
Premiere date: October 6 on Prime video
"Black Box" focuses on a recently widowed man, who undergoes a horrifying experiment.
Who's in it: Mamoudou Athie, Phylicia Rashad, and Amanda Christine
What it's about: A man named Nolan (Athie) undergoes a chilling experimental treatment after losing his wife and his memory in a terrible accident.
Blending sci-fi and horror, "Black Box" follows Nolan as he spirals deeper and deeper into his own mind, eventually questioning his own existence. Along the way, he encounters a mysterious hooded figure and has terrifying experiences while reliving his own memories.
While the second half doesn't quite match up with the eerie and anxiety-inducing first half, "Black Box" is still a solid watch nonetheless.
Premiere date: October 6 on Prime video
Sydney Sweeney from "Euphoria" plays a desperately ambitious music student in "Nocturne."
Who's in it: Sydney Sweeney, Madison Iseman, Jacques Colimon, and Ivan Shaw
What it's about: Sweeney plays Juliet, a withdrawn young pianist at a prestigious music academy, who's constantly upstaged by her more talented twin sister Vivian (Iseman). But when Juliet finds a notebook belonging to a dead student, her musical abilities mysteriously improve — leading to increasingly tense moments between her and Vivian.
Premiere date: October 13 on Amazon Prime video
Produced by Priyanka Chopra Jonas, "Evil Eye" focuses on a new romance gone terribly wrong.
Who's in it: Sarita Choudhury, Sunita Mani, and Omar Maskati
What it's about: This tense psychological thriller follows a mother, Usha Khatri (Choudhury), and her daughter Pallavi (Mani) as they both come to terms with Pallavi's new relationship.
But while Usha is initially happy that her daughter met someone special, she soon begins to suspect that there might be more to Pallavi's boyfriend, Sandeep (Maskati), than meets the eye. Family secrets, a supernatural entity, and past trauma complicate matters.
