Strange Darling is, without a doubt, my favorite movie of 2024 (so far). I left it off the list because I consider it to be more of a thriller than a traditional horror film, but my god, was it a breath of fresh air.
@@reelwatkinsI disagree a lot of with the first omen. That movie was by far s tier. One of the best horror movies ever made. And i have watched a lot. Its very underrated imo. It had a amazing storyline as well. Putting longlegs above omen is just horrible imo. But I respect your opinion don't get me wrong.
@@oxfopee I just finished it...The Substance is 100% worth watching. I can't believe how good it ended up being. The ending is going to go down in horror history.
Longlegs was pretty disappointing for me tbh. I loved EVERYTHING about it for the first half of the movie. Then they lost it when they decided to explain the entire film instead of playing it out. Aesthetic and cinematography were absolutely amazing.
I agree. It came highly recommended by several people to me. So I saw it at the theaters & I thought to myself- What was the big deal about this movie? It was ok, but nothing I’d recommend.
Same it was a lot of fun up until the last five minutes, I don’t really understand the Satan balls in dolls head that no one ever found? It had a great vibe and I wish I loved it but it just didn’t make sense at the end of the day
@reelwatkins shit was really good. Not as scary as I’d hoped, but I also think life hitting so hard nothing scares me anymore. Finished long legs yesterday, decent watch.. I’m just legitimately looking for something to creep me out and struggling to be impressed.
I didn't like it at all. Tame and overhyped, it had one idea, wasn't scary, and wasn't funny enough for it to work and so it felt extremely long and predictable. Lead performance is good, though.
@@rustyshackleford6035something doesn't have to be a masterpiece in order to wear merch for it. I've got band merch for bands that I'd consider A or B tier 🤷♂️
I was disapointed with longlegs, the supernatural part ruined it for me, it was cliché with the creepy dolls. It's a shame because the atmosphere was great and Nicolas Cage's perfomance was great.
favorite movie of the year for me man. i just couldn’t get enough in theaters as well as nowadays. literally have long legs in my blu ray player right now
Great video, maybe a bit premature given Terrifier 3, Nosferatu, Smile 2, Heretic etc. The Devil's Bath is definitely worth a watch, thought that would have made the list. Daddy's Head was released out of the blue yesterday as well, certified gem imho. Looking forward to your upcoming reviews!
I definitely plan on making a part 2 at the end of the year that will include all of the films you listed above. Saw Terrifier 3 on Thursday, and oh boy! I'm actually going back forth right now between watching Daddys Head or that new Netflix Anna Kendrick thriller this weekend. Kinda leaning towards Daddys Head since it's the lesser known one. Anyways, thanks for watching and thanks for the comment 😀
@@raistlin1313 Yeah that's crazy, I'd never heard of the whole 'suicide by proxy' phenomenon. Real nice time piece of a movie. Have you seen You Will Not Be Alone? Share's some similarities, but is very unique and probably a very niche taste, but I think it's something special.
@@reelwatkins Anna Kendrick's Woman of the Hour wasn't on my radar so cheers for the recommendation, that was a decent watch. Crazy true story. I'm looking forward to Heretic, have to wait until 21 Nov down here in Aus, hope it's not a let down. Terrifier 3 was a wonderful experience 😆Will be good to watch your part two later this year 👍
@@Bloodslunt I did watch You Won't be Alone, even tho it was a bit slowburn, it was quite good. And also yet another folk horor from Noomi Rapace, Lamb from 2021 as well. Apart from Found Footage Horror and Cosmic Horror, Folk Horror might be one of my fav subgenres. There aren't many good examples of American Folk Horror movies, probably they lack the history and the mythology, yet Europe is filled with hidden gems such as November for example. An Estonian movie from 2017. (In which it is month appropriate as well.😂)

Seeing this tomorrow night. Can't wait. I haven't even watched a trailer. Don't even know what it's about lol. I just know people are loving it, which makes me excited.
I disagree Longlegs was S tier in my book. It was definitely overhyped like the most hyped movie of all time which is why I stayed away from all trailers, websites, promotions, etc. So when it turned out to be a Satanic Silence of the Lambs mixed with Seven starring Nicolas Cage as the serial killer(which I had no idea he was in it) directed by Norman Bates’s son I was just blown away 😂
Strange Darling is my favorite movie of the year. It's so so so so good. I didn't include it here because I consider it more as a thriller. But I love love that movie. It's S tier.
Just saw The Substance tonight and wow! Highly sexual and Demi Moore gave her best performance of her entire carreer. The body horror is well done and phenomenal acting. Try it.
@@gsurveil1 I really hope it gets some Oscar attention, I know the Oscar's snub horror and weird films but honestly they need to be rewarded for makeup and prosthetics, and Demi deserves attention for her performance as I think it's the best I've ever seen from her. Both Demi and Margaret were asked a lot of from this film and they both did so incredible.
Great list! Definitely agree with the take on LNwtD and Stopmotion... and The Strangers. I think Sting is the other spider horror film you're looking for.
That's what it was, Sting! Thanks for reminding me. I also need to watch Abigail too, that one slipped past me. I'll do another one of these at the end of the year and include some of the ones I missed. Thanks for watching 😃
My person opinions of the ones I have seen: S -THE SUBSTANCE A - The First Omen, The Deliverance B - In A Violent Nature, Infested C - Late Night with the Devil, Immaculate D - Strangers: Chapter One, Maxxxine
Also when you revisit Heretic needs to be added. Haven’t seen The Substance because it looked like one I wouldn’t like but I’ve actually heard great things about it so I plan on seeing it streaming soon.
totally agree with you list, instant sub, i'm sure this was made before it came out but for me terrifier 3 was S tier, my new favorite horror franchise by far
Hardly a horror movie. Alien Romulus was a fine, inoffensive action movie but it has absolutely nothing on the atmosphere of the original Alien and Aliens.
The amount of clowns praising Alien Romulus is peak internet. The movie was complete trash and anyone who knows anything about the Alien lore and universe knows that Romulus shit all over it. Alientards are always going to Alientard I guess.
@@aninaithani4234 It’s fairly generic. The new Alien wasn’t exactly a groundbreaking movie like the original was and it didn’t have to be. Calling it a horror film is a bit of a stretch though. It’s more akin to Aliens. It’s got great visuals and production quality but the movie was just decent
@@monkeyd327 the face hugger scene, the alien stalking, the numerous scenes of body horror, the ending scene?? I get horror is subjective but there was multiple objectively classified scenes of horror through the movie. Calling it not a horror movie is a stretch. Also why does a movie have to be groundbreaking to be considered a good movie? Is it doing anything new? Maybe some things but the movie had clever non generic decisions from some of the characters that were actually level headed decisions especially from the main character and her AI brother. The atomosphere of the Romulus was awesome dude I have no idea what you’re talking about. The original alien movie is a great movie but watch it now dude it’s a bit dated
WOW FIRST TIME EVER IVE SEEN A TIER-LIST MATCH EXACTLY WITH HOW ID ARRANGE IT; HAVENT SEEN A FEW OF YOUR ITEMS THO WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LONGLEGS, WHICH I'D PUT AT A B BRAVO!
I watched oddities from your suggestion and was not let down. Great vibes and interesting story and characters. Got me spooked for a bit there and that rarely happens.
The First Omen made no sense in the end. I don’t want to ruin it for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet, but there’s a lot of continuity questions raised by it.
really just waiting for terrifier 3 and smile 2 to come to amazon prime. I liked Late Night with the Devil I thought that one was a pretty trippy with the whole late night show bit. Longlegs wasn't too bad. feel like I only liked it cus I was on shrooms.
I haven't seen all of these but I think this is the first time I've ever agreed completely with any reviewer on their assessments. Had to subscribe since we seem to have very similar tastes and I'm looking for new stuff to watch.
Love your list I think you are hard on some films I loved this is the year of horror like Maxxine and Immaculate love these year so far gonna check out some the films you saw like Oddity and Cockoo but you gotta to include the Substance, Speak No Evil and Strange Darling keep on the good content!!!
I know you plan on revisiting the list and you mentioned a few of the movies that have either come out since you made it or will come out before the end of the year, but you also missed a couple that came out before the video was made,.. like Alien: Romulus (which was awesome). Also, you mentioned M Night-Shamalyon, but you didn’t review his offering this year… or his daughter’s (Trap and The Followers, respectively). Those films were not great, but should be up there. I hope you include them in your updated list
Man, you made a very nice job ranking those horror movies from 2024. And I agree with most of you rankings. ___However you forgot to include a coupe really good horrors released this year >>> 1) STrange Darling (weird, twisted, good visuals) ; 2) Starve Acre (that was very intense and dark, slow burn horror); and 3) Substance - must be on your list too.
You must hate the Alien franchise if you liked “Alien Romulus” because it shit all over the lore of the first two movies and had MANY scenes that made literally zero sense whatsoever like Simple Black Jack….I mean Andy calling the Alien a “bitch”(literally the line Sigourney Weaver uses in “Aliens” , a movie that takes place after the events of this movie). The movie was absolute trash and per usual the only thing people can say is that it looked good on screen….as if that is some sort of compliment.
The first omen was such a pleasant surprise... I didn't have much hopes for it to be decent but I love the franchise, even the direct to video sequel. The remake is the only one I hate
Totally disagree on Longlegs, that one didnt resonate with me at all, but otherwise loved this video and learned about a few movies that look very interesting.
I'm gearing up to do a part 2 of my horror tier list since I made this one in early Sept. Substance will be included in part 2 and spoiler alert... it's an S.
(Possible spoilers) I agree with you on Longlegs for the same exact reason the atmosphere and the vibe of the movie was perfect. I’ve watched it like 5 times now. However I purchased Oddity after you gave it an A and man I’m sorry I respect your opinion but I hate movies that end like that without the payoff(sorry I hope that isn’t too much of a spoiler). Once that song started playing I just knew it was going to be a left open to the viewers interpretation trope which I can’t stand 😂. Good list still 🙏
This year has given us fantastic horror movies like The Substance, actually if you want to see it, please don't eat anything as the movie some disturbing scenes. On the other hand, I can't wait to see Terrifier 3, the guy, who plays Art the Clown, would be a great Joker after Joaquin Phoenix played this iconic role.
Abigail & Lisa Frankenstein belong on the worst horror movies of 2024 ranked. The other two; strange Darling, a quiet place, and lowlifes look like they might be pretty good but they also look extremely predictable. Lowlifes looks like a drab non musical version of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' (Can we use your phone?).
The fact you put “A Quiet Place” in your list makes you lose all credibility. The movie literally was an SNL skit written by the most woke, DEI obsessed clowns. It was bad enough that we had to follow around one of the most unlikeable and truly moronic protagonists a horror movie has ever centered around but the entire cat thing made me outright hate the movie. Per usual the trashholes in Pedowood who wrote this movie don’t understand that a good monster movie, ESPECIALLY ONE WITH AN ALREADY PRE-ESTABLISHED UNIVERSE should center around the fkn monsters and not the androgynous clown in hospice care who is obsessed with pizza and FENTANYL. God that movie was such shit.
Great list man! Longlegs was my favorite of the year so far. You should keep "The Substance" and "Presence" on your radar for when they come out. Heard they're really good supposedly.
Agreed, Longlegs was so damn good. I’ll be checking out The Substance on Friday and can’t wait for that. I’ll have to look into Presence. Another one I’m looking forward to at the end of the month is a movie called “Sleep.”
Ran into this video by accident but I am confused on how Strangers was worse then In a Violent Nature. In a Violent nature was the worst horror film I've ever paid money for. To each their own I guess.
Longlegs in the top3 horror movies of the year is crazy work 😂💀 I was hardly ever more disappointed in a movie ever. I wouldn't even call it a horror movie. And nicolas cages character is just goofy tbh
Long legs and LNWTD should not be in the same tier. Longlegs was masterfully shot and acted but the writing turned into nonsense after the second half. LNWTD is consistently good and has one of the best endings of the year
The strangers for me as difficult simply because when we watch a slasher that dips into the survival/thriller category, we HATE to see the characters make bad decisions because then it’s not just the killers being smart but the characters being dumb. It makes it less believable. Long legs….mannnn that atmosphere was solid, the prolonging of revealing the killers face was awesome, he was creepy! It was soo good! I just sort of feel like it could have used “some” supernatural elements without having the ending go into a full blown supernatural finale. I liked the mystery elements the first half
Not trying to nitpick, just a friendly critique. Longlegs was your favorite movie of the year, so it should probably be an S. I always felt like you need to set a standard when doing these tier rankings, you need an S and you need a D. If you don't have one, you don't have a true basis for comparison
That's totally fair, and I genuinely appreciate the feedback. You're not alone in being irritated that I didn't include S-Tier. In my defense, I did put two movies in the D category (Strangers and Deliverance). As far as S-Tier is concerned, I consider S-Tier to be cream of the crop special films, and as much as I loved Longlegs, I don't think it's S-Tier. Also, I said it was one of my favorites, not my favorite. My favorite movie of the year is Strange Darling, which I would put in an S-Tier. Same with Dune Part 2. But I do see your point. I probably shouldn't hold up S-tier to ultra perfection standards. I will definitely keep this in mind for my next one. Thanks for watching and giving me feedback 😃.
I actually prefer keeping the S-tier reserved for only the absolute best of the best. These should be the rare, masterpiece-level films that truly deserve it. If your favorite movie didn’t make the S-tier that year, it just means the A-tier was the highest quality you experienced that year, which is still great. I appreciate that you’re distinguishing between movies you really enjoyed and those that are genuinely on another level. Not every favorite film has to be an S-tier contender if it doesn’t reach that level. If you’re given a few average movies, you don’t need to force your favorite into the S-tier just because it was better than the others. Your rating system is solid, and I’m glad you keep that distinction. Maybe to avoid complaints, you could briefly explain your rating criteria upfront to set expectations.
Honestly, I don't think there were any S-Tier horror movies this year. In my mind, if it's gonna be in S-Tier, it needs to contain an element that is considered master-crafted. Whether that be the special effects, or the atmosphere, or the acting, or the originality, something has to be so well-done and perfectly executed, that it leaves a mark that other movies try to aspire to. I consider The Thing to be an S-Tier movie. Even though there are plenty of elements that could be considered to be "mediocre", the special effects are legendary, the creature designs are unparalleled, and the setting is perfect to execute the feeling of isolation and distrust it was going for. There will never be a movie that does everything perfectly, but there are movies that do SOMETHING perfectly. Those are S-Tier movies, and they are extraordinarily rare in the horror genre. Edit: The Substance might be an S-tier movie honestly. Holy damn it was good.
Rotten tomatoes has let me down too many times this year with horror films. Watched oddity and late night with devil. Did not bother finishing either. Saw strange darling and it seriously tried to act like it was better than it actually is. Im so tempted to watch longlegs but so scared I'll be let down once again.
The Substance and Strange Darling are by far my two favorite new horror movies this year. Great list!
Strange Darling is, without a doubt, my favorite movie of 2024 (so far). I left it off the list because I consider it to be more of a thriller than a traditional horror film, but my god, was it a breath of fresh air.
how was the substance? was it good? wanna decide whether or not i’m gonna watch it
Strange Darling was amazing. Haven't seen the substance yet I'm going to watch it tomorrow
@@reelwatkinsI disagree a lot of with the first omen. That movie was by far s tier. One of the best horror movies ever made. And i have watched a lot. Its very underrated imo. It had a amazing storyline as well. Putting longlegs above omen is just horrible imo. But I respect your opinion don't get me wrong.
@@oxfopee I just finished it...The Substance is 100% worth watching. I can't believe how good it ended up being. The ending is going to go down in horror history.
Great list but you’ll definitely need a Part 2 that includes The Substance, Alien Romulus, Noseferatu, Smile 2, Terrifier 3, and Heretic
Yes.
And red rooms
And Sleep
and blink twice
I cant be the only one who thinks Smile 2 is insanely good but maybe i like psychological horror too much

It sucked
4:08 man I really appreciate you not spoiling these movies in the reviews, really looking forward to watching Oddity tonight. True professional.
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy Oddity!
@ just finished it. Definitely A tier but it wasn’t as scary as I’d anticipated. I loved the story tho, dude was a dick.
@reelwatkins shit was really good. Not as scary as I’d hoped, but I also think life hitting so hard nothing scares me anymore. Finished long legs yesterday, decent watch.. I’m just legitimately looking for something to creep me out and struggling to be impressed.
Late night with the devil was amazing
I loved it until the crap ending
The ending was ass
I didn't like it at all. Tame and overhyped, it had one idea, wasn't scary, and wasn't funny enough for it to work and so it felt extremely long and predictable. Lead performance is good, though.
meh. not even in my top 5 this year
literally one of the most awful movies in general i’ve seen this year, pretty sure they used AI for some of the scenes
"One of the best years for horror"
NO S-TIER MOVIES
It doesn't make sense to wear a Longlegs tee shirt but Not give it an S tier rating me I have given the movie a B but still you got tee shirt on 😂
Oscars be like:

It was a shit movie
@@RicoBreinbjerg indeed it was the shit! 🤙🏽

I loveed the deliverance too
Long legs was a piss poor shit movie

where is The Substance
I enjoyed Night Swim. Great list.
Wow great 🎉
Abigail, Blink Twice, Speak No Evil, Watchers, Don’t Move. Would love to get your rating on these
Watchers was one of the worst movies I've ever seen
Speak no evil was enjoyable. You should give it a watch.
I think I would put The Substance on S tier
Seeing this tomorrow night. Can't wait. I haven't even watched a trailer. Don't even know what it's about lol. I just know people are loving it, which makes me excited.
Finally, some realistic reviews, I loved both Longlegs and Oddity, but none of them deserves an S!
Long legs was not good at all
I disagree Longlegs was S tier in my book. It was definitely overhyped like the most hyped movie of all time which is why I stayed away from all trailers, websites, promotions, etc. So when it turned out to be a Satanic Silence of the Lambs mixed with Seven starring Nicolas Cage as the serial killer(which I had no idea he was in it) directed by Norman Bates’s son I was just blown away 😂
Longlegs was a definite standout for me. I saw it in the theater twice. Only complaint, not enough Nic Cage!
STRANGE DARLING ❤❤❤
Strange Darling is my favorite movie of the year. It's so so so so good. I didn't include it here because I consider it more as a thriller. But I love love that movie. It's S tier.
Fav of 2024 is The Devil's Bath. Last on my list of hopefuls that I've yet to see are Oddity and Speak No Evil.
Amazing list and I agree with the ranking. You should also add The Substance in this list.
That movie was wild!!! Enjoyed the hell out of it.
The substance is probably best horror of the year
Did you see The Substance yet? That’s my first S tier
I’m watching it on Friday. Can’t wait! Should have my review up Saturday
Just saw The Substance tonight and wow! Highly sexual and Demi Moore gave her best performance of her entire carreer. The body horror is well done and phenomenal acting. Try it.

@erinnadia0409 Two nights in a row just to see if what I saw was what I saw! The 2nd time was better way creepier and worth it.
Holy Hell it was good. I had no idea. Glad I stumbled upon this comment section or I would have skipped it.
Great list! Definitely agree with the take on LNwtD and Stopmotion... and The Strangers. I think Sting is the other spider horror film you're looking for.
That's what it was, Sting! Thanks for reminding me. I also need to watch Abigail too, that one slipped past me. I'll do another one of these at the end of the year and include some of the ones I missed. Thanks for watching 😃
Oh sting is dope 🎉
@@reelwatkins abigail is Great bro 💥🎤🎸💜
@@eng-ahmedhusen729 Love the way they introduced the "Spider" in the movie 😉
Not the best year for horror but it is definitely one of the best
Horrir is ao subjective. I felt more scared by Longlegs and late night with the Devil than Oddity
My person opinions of the ones I have seen:
S -THE SUBSTANCE
A - The First Omen, The Deliverance
B - In A Violent Nature, Infested
C - Late Night with the Devil, Immaculate
D - Strangers: Chapter One, Maxxxine
Stopmotion is my fav movie of the year regardless of genre, nice video!
Also when you revisit Heretic needs to be added. Haven’t seen The Substance because it looked like one I wouldn’t like but I’ve actually heard great things about it so I plan on seeing it streaming soon.
Maxine was fun, my second favorite in the trilogy. None of them come close to Pearl. Mia Goth is amazing!
First Omen over Immaculate is crazy to me
Agreed. Oddity was incredible.
The original exorcist actually proves that family drama and horror work unbelievably good together.
Great video! Using this to pick my Halloween movie for this year 🎃
totally agree with you list, instant sub, i'm sure this was made before it came out but for me terrifier 3 was S tier, my new favorite horror franchise by far

The atomosphere of the Romulus was awesome dude I have no idea what you’re talking about. The original alien movie is a great movie but watch it now dude it’s a bit dated
WOW FIRST TIME EVER IVE SEEN A TIER-LIST MATCH EXACTLY WITH HOW ID ARRANGE IT; HAVENT SEEN A FEW OF YOUR ITEMS THO WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LONGLEGS, WHICH I'D PUT AT A B
BRAVO!
I was very pleasantly surprised by stopmotion. Maybe because I went in expecting nothing, but I thought it was pretty good
How many times have I seen Longlegs?
Not onceee not twiceee but as many times as I'd LIIIKKEEEEEEEE
Totally agree with you about Lovely, Dark, and Deep. Solid. Love me some cosmic horror.
I think in a violent nature had been the best horror movie I’ve ever seen. Very metaphorical.
Please add Strange Darling, The Substance, and Terrifier 3.
Smile 2 clears all so far I fear.
I watched oddities from your suggestion and was not let down. Great vibes and interesting story and characters. Got me spooked for a bit there and that rarely happens.
Def made before the release of Terrifier 3! Because that film is now certifiably a box office SLASH/SMASH
The First Omen made no sense in the end. I don’t want to ruin it for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet, but there’s a lot of continuity questions raised by it.
really just waiting for terrifier 3 and smile 2 to come to amazon prime. I liked Late Night with the Devil I thought that one was a pretty trippy with the whole late night show bit. Longlegs wasn't too bad. feel like I only liked it cus I was on shrooms.
Smile definitely up there
I haven't seen all of these but I think this is the first time I've ever agreed completely with any reviewer on their assessments. Had to subscribe since we seem to have very similar tastes and I'm looking for new stuff to watch.
BOOM! THANK YOU-
LEGIT AF SO FAR!
Smile 2 was awesome!
Agreed! I did a October tier list that includes Smile 2. Loved it
Love your list I think you are hard on some films I loved this is the year of horror like Maxxine and Immaculate love these year so far gonna check out some the films you saw like Oddity and Cockoo but you gotta to include the Substance, Speak No Evil and Strange Darling keep on the good content!!!
I know you plan on revisiting the list and you mentioned a few of the movies that have either come out since you made it or will come out before the end of the year, but you also missed a couple that came out before the video was made,.. like Alien: Romulus (which was awesome). Also, you mentioned M Night-Shamalyon, but you didn’t review his offering this year… or his daughter’s (Trap and The Followers, respectively). Those films were not great, but should be up there. I hope you include them in your updated list
"Scary" us definitely subjective. I found Oddity to not be really scary at all, and Late Night with the Devil scarier for sure.
Oddity is creepy more but it did it for me
And I loved late night with the devil so much 💥
I feel like late night with the devil was one of those movies that extremely entertaining and good, but the final act fails to deliver
It was definitely out there. Just too many ideas at once that just made the ending feel congested for lack of a better word.
@dudewhy6953 good way to put it 👍🏻
Didn't realise that the devil was in the background (visible) about 11 times in Longlegs throughout the film.
IAVN had some gnarly kills.
That "yoga" scene was WILD
Thanks for pointing out the stupid color correction of Oddity... this was the reason I turned it off, but now I'll give it another try!
Blink twice, smile 2, long legs are my favorite for this year
Thanks for this! Been wondering what to watch
Man, you made a very nice job ranking those horror movies from 2024. And I agree with most of you rankings. ___However you forgot to include a coupe really good horrors released this year >>> 1) STrange Darling (weird, twisted, good visuals) ; 2) Starve Acre (that was very intense and dark, slow burn horror); and 3) Substance - must be on your list too.
Also not sure when this was made but I would definitely include Alien Romulus on this list and put it in A tier
You must hate the Alien franchise if you liked “Alien Romulus” because it shit all over the lore of the first two movies and had MANY scenes that made literally zero sense whatsoever like Simple Black Jack….I mean Andy calling the Alien a “bitch”(literally the line Sigourney Weaver uses in “Aliens” , a movie that takes place after the events of this movie). The movie was absolute trash and per usual the only thing people can say is that it looked good on screen….as if that is some sort of compliment.
@@FlatEarthOracle It'sall subjective and you're free to dislike Romulus but to suggest anyone who likes it must hate the franchise is just plain dumb
The first omen was such a pleasant surprise... I didn't have much hopes for it to be decent but I love the franchise, even the direct to video sequel. The remake is the only one I hate
totally agree with your rankings!
Just found your channel, great analysis, love horror, agree with most of all of it! Great to find a solid horror loving channel!
Totally disagree on Longlegs, that one didnt resonate with me at all, but otherwise loved this video and learned about a few movies that look very interesting.
I’m really surprised seeing lots of people disappointed by Longlegs. Personally I absolutely loved it and it’s movie of the year for me.
We all agree The Substance is S-tier, right? Ok, good.
I'm gearing up to do a part 2 of my horror tier list since I made this one in early Sept. Substance will be included in part 2 and spoiler alert... it's an S.
Best year for horror ❤
alien romulus should be in the list
(Possible spoilers)
I agree with you on Longlegs for the same exact reason the atmosphere and the vibe of the movie was perfect. I’ve watched it like 5 times now. However I purchased Oddity after you gave it an A and man I’m sorry I respect your opinion but I hate movies that end like that without the payoff(sorry I hope that isn’t too much of a spoiler). Once that song started playing I just knew it was going to be a left open to the viewers interpretation trope which I can’t stand 😂. Good list still 🙏
Dang, I've seen all the As already. I was hoping I missed a banger
1. The Substance S-Tier
2. Alien Romulus A-Tier
3. The First Omen A-Tier
4. Longlegs B-Tier
5. Trap B-Tier
5. A Quiet Place Day One C-Tier
This year has given us fantastic horror movies like The Substance, actually if you want to see it, please don't eat anything as the movie some disturbing scenes. On the other hand, I can't wait to see Terrifier 3, the guy, who plays Art the Clown, would be a great Joker after Joaquin Phoenix played this iconic role.
No terrifier 3? Guessing you’re missing out because it’s on many horror fans film lists as being the best horror movie of this year.
the video was made 4 weeks ago dummy
Is it really horror though?
@@lxNOLUCAwell, yeah
No chick fil a sauce?
That movie wasn't even out yet when this video was made
This is a really great list. Agreed on all the ones I’d seen and got me excited to watch some of the others
In a violent nature B-Tier is insane
Longlegs was pretty good, but The Blackcoat's Daughter is miles better if you want a horror movie from the same director.
Now THAT is a horror film
You missed a couple big horrors: Abigail, Lisa Frankenstein, strange Darling, a quiet place, and lowlifes
Abigail & Lisa Frankenstein belong on the worst horror movies of 2024 ranked. The other two; strange Darling, a quiet place, and lowlifes look like they might be pretty good but they also look extremely predictable. Lowlifes looks like a drab non musical version of 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' (Can we use your phone?).
The fact you put “A Quiet Place” in your list makes you lose all credibility. The movie literally was an SNL skit written by the most woke, DEI obsessed clowns. It was bad enough that we had to follow around one of the most unlikeable and truly moronic protagonists a horror movie has ever centered around but the entire cat thing made me outright hate the movie. Per usual the trashholes in Pedowood who wrote this movie don’t understand that a good monster movie, ESPECIALLY ONE WITH AN ALREADY PRE-ESTABLISHED UNIVERSE should center around the fkn monsters and not the androgynous clown in hospice care who is obsessed with pizza and FENTANYL. God that movie was such shit.
@@BritPopSnob Abigail was great. Stop doing drugs.
Abigal and lowlifes are both good @@BritPopSnob
@@endwigast5212yeah I loved it
Putting LNWTD above the substance and the first omen is crazy
I never put LNWTD above The Substance...
Was this video made before Smile 2, Alien Romulus, and Speak No Evil were released?
Great list man!
Longlegs was my favorite of the year so far.
You should keep "The Substance" and "Presence" on your radar for when they come out. Heard they're really good supposedly.
Agreed, Longlegs was so damn good. I’ll be checking out The Substance on Friday and can’t wait for that. I’ll have to look into Presence. Another one I’m looking forward to at the end of the month is a movie called “Sleep.”
Oh damn, Presence is Soderberg and it’s written by David Koepp. Sign me up!!!
just saw the ad for presence. i love period creepiness
Late Night was amazing.
Ran into this video by accident but I am confused on how Strangers was worse then In a Violent Nature. In a Violent nature was the worst horror film I've ever paid money for. To each their own I guess.
Longlegs in the top3 horror movies of the year is crazy work 😂💀
I was hardly ever more disappointed in a movie ever.
I wouldn't even call it a horror movie.
And nicolas cages character is just goofy tbh
Yeah, bad casting and too much exposition
i thought longlegs was mid, but the opening scene was one of the best opening scenes in horror i’ve ever seen
ODDITY is my favorite horror movie of the year so far.
Cuckoo is a decent movie this year for me
great reviewwwwwww
Spot on Reviews.👌 Not overly critical but still tells it exactly like it is. Fantastic descriptions.🤌
Long legs and LNWTD should not be in the same tier. Longlegs was masterfully shot and acted but the writing turned into nonsense after the second half. LNWTD is consistently good and has one of the best endings of the year
The strangers for me as difficult simply because when we watch a slasher that dips into the survival/thriller category, we HATE to see the characters make bad decisions because then it’s not just the killers being smart but the characters being dumb. It makes it less believable.
Long legs….mannnn that atmosphere was solid, the prolonging of revealing the killers face was awesome, he was creepy! It was soo good! I just sort of feel like it could have used “some” supernatural elements without having the ending go into a full blown supernatural finale. I liked the mystery elements the first half
Not trying to nitpick, just a friendly critique. Longlegs was your favorite movie of the year, so it should probably be an S. I always felt like you need to set a standard when doing these tier rankings, you need an S and you need a D. If you don't have one, you don't have a true basis for comparison
That's totally fair, and I genuinely appreciate the feedback. You're not alone in being irritated that I didn't include S-Tier. In my defense, I did put two movies in the D category (Strangers and Deliverance). As far as S-Tier is concerned, I consider S-Tier to be cream of the crop special films, and as much as I loved Longlegs, I don't think it's S-Tier. Also, I said it was one of my favorites, not my favorite. My favorite movie of the year is Strange Darling, which I would put in an S-Tier. Same with Dune Part 2. But I do see your point. I probably shouldn't hold up S-tier to ultra perfection standards. I will definitely keep this in mind for my next one. Thanks for watching and giving me feedback 😃.
I actually prefer keeping the S-tier reserved for only the absolute best of the best. These should be the rare, masterpiece-level films that truly deserve it. If your favorite movie didn’t make the S-tier that year, it just means the A-tier was the highest quality you experienced that year, which is still great.
I appreciate that you’re distinguishing between movies you really enjoyed and those that are genuinely on another level. Not every favorite film has to be an S-tier contender if it doesn’t reach that level. If you’re given a few average movies, you don’t need to force your favorite into the S-tier just because it was better than the others.
Your rating system is solid, and I’m glad you keep that distinction. Maybe to avoid complaints, you could briefly explain your rating criteria upfront to set expectations.
Honestly, I don't think there were any S-Tier horror movies this year. In my mind, if it's gonna be in S-Tier, it needs to contain an element that is considered master-crafted. Whether that be the special effects, or the atmosphere, or the acting, or the originality, something has to be so well-done and perfectly executed, that it leaves a mark that other movies try to aspire to.
I consider The Thing to be an S-Tier movie. Even though there are plenty of elements that could be considered to be "mediocre", the special effects are legendary, the creature designs are unparalleled, and the setting is perfect to execute the feeling of isolation and distrust it was going for.
There will never be a movie that does everything perfectly, but there are movies that do SOMETHING perfectly. Those are S-Tier movies, and they are extraordinarily rare in the horror genre.
Edit: The Substance might be an S-tier movie honestly. Holy damn it was good.
In a violent nature has by far been my favorite movie this year. Terrifier 3 might take the cake tho, we will see lol
Saw Terrifier 3 on Thursday and it is wild! Review coming soon. Hope you enjoy it!
In a violent nature
In a strong. trip 🎉😂
terrifier 3 might be the only S this year.
Rotten tomatoes has let me down too many times this year with horror films. Watched oddity and late night with devil. Did not bother finishing either. Saw strange darling and it seriously tried to act like it was better than it actually is. Im so tempted to watch longlegs but so scared I'll be let down once again.
You'll be let down bigtime. After all the hype and noise, it was the biggest disappointment. I tried to like it but i just couldn't.
i would give Cuckoo an A, but that's a personal preference
