10 Most WTF Moments From 2024 Horror Movies

2024 was a terrific year for horror movies of all kinds, and it was an especially great year for sickos who love horror movies.

It's tough to think of a year in recent memory with more utterly bonkers, wild, and unapologetically off-the-wall horror flicks that pushed the envelope, took risks, crossed the line, and ensured nobody who saw them would ever forget them. And of the many hundreds of horror film released over the last 12 months, here are the 10 single moments that left us all agape in shock and perhaps even questioning our own sanity... if not the sanity of the filmmakers themselves.

From unforgettable death scenes to traumatising sequences, shock twists, and everything else in between, these horror movies went hard and then some. Regardless of how well each film worked (or not), the following scenes absolutely knocked it out of the park in the "what the hell did I just watch?" stakes.

Needless to say, 2025 will need to go totally buck wild to have a chance of topping our #1 WTF moment, let alone the entire rest of the list...

Who among us expected Alien: Romulus to revisit a plot point from Alien: Resurrection of all movies?

In the third act, the pregnant and badly injured Kay (Isabela Merced) injects herself with a mutagenic compound, Z-01, in a desperate bid to save her life. Though Z-01 heals Kay, it also causes her to violently give birth to a mutated "offspring" - a grotesque human-Xenomorph hybrid that quickly grows into a gigantic, gangly creature that looks like a cross between an Engineer and a Xenomorph.

It's certainly one of the most revolving and viscerally offputting creatures we've ever seen in the Alien franchise, all the more so given that it's implied to have used its protruding tongue to breastfeed from Kay, who now lactates a black goo-like substance, before killing her.

Romulus may be far from a perfect movie, but it certainly struck a fittingly queasy chord just when it mattered most.
