10 Most INSANE Horror Movies Of 2024

10. I Saw the TV Glow

Jane Schoenbrun's follow-up to her debut We're All Going to the World's Fair marks a major step up for the filmmaker, swapping out the microbudget approach for an A24-backed, Emma Stone-produced joint that stars the likes of Justice Smith, Helena Howard, Danielle Deadwyler, and... Fred Durst?

Whatever you thought Schoenbrun's sophomore feature might be, it probably wasn't this - a delirious supernatural horror in which two high school students (Smith and Brigette Lundy-Paine) begin to question their identities and the nature of their reality amid their connection to a YA TV show, The Pink Opaque.

Schoenbrun does a masterful job of replicating the distinct aesthetic of 1990s teen fare while delivering one of the genre's most evocative analogues ever for the trans experience. Justice Smith's central performance is a thing of haunting beauty, going snugly hand-in-hand with Schoenbrun's hypnotic style and utterly bewildering approach to tone. 

It may not be for everyone, but more adventurous genre fans should at least respect I Saw the TV Glow's boldness, if not love it outright.
