10 Most INSANE Horror Movies Of 2024
The craziest horror movies from 2024 you absolutely NEED to see.
2024 was one hell of a banner year for horror movies, with literally dozens of great genre entries being released over those 12 months. But sometimes, being a rock-solid execution of a familiar effort isn't nearly enough for ravenous genre fans - sometimes they need movies to get a little freaky!
Perhaps more than any other film genre, horror is known for pushing the envelope and daring audiences to get out of their comfort zone. And with that in mind, these 10 horror movies released in 2024 threw the gauntlet down to viewers, daring them to keep watching to the end. These are the horror films that broke new ground and left audiences questioning quite what the hell they were watching - and perhaps even why.
From brilliant allegorical psychological horrors to found footage shockers, slasher triumphs, and the most terrifying depiction of a coffee table in cinema history, these horror pictures turned the WTF factor up to 11 and had no time for stodgy genre typicality.
If you need a horror movie to widen your horizons as a genre fan, look no further than this fascinating lot.
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.
