I feel Stopmotion deserves some more attention! What a chilling, sinister vibe this movie had. Some quite disturbing visuals and such an original storyline! Top three at LEAST for me.
GODZILLA IS EXCITED. THNK YOU EMMA. LISA FRANKENSTEIN I haven’t seen yet. But I do remember having Lisa frank folders in school when I was a young Godzilla.
Here's my Top 5 of the year so far: 1 - Longlegs, 2 - Exhuma, 3 - Late Night with the Devil, 4 - Infested, 5 - Dream Scenario. I'm excited to see The Oddity, Nosferatu, Alien: Romulus, and The Devil's Bath.
@@721renayou kinda skipped over the part of their comment where they listed their 5 movies like they said. and proceeded to make another list of movies they were excited to see. don’t get so angry or accusatory with people when they’re just being human. it really isn’t a good look
Great list, Emma! I haven't had the chance to watch some of the films on this list yet, but I'm very interested in The Devil's Bath, especially because the directors will be adapting A Head Full of Ghosts, a book you recommended here on the channel and that I loved.
About 3 minutes into The Devil’s Bath realised I knew exactly what it was about and where the story would go because I had researched the same historical events for my own project on the subject so I had a very different kind of painful experience watching that film 😆 Ah well, I think my project is different enough that it could still be done…
I’ve followed you for a LONG time and I dig your taste and enthusiasm with horror movies especially. Love an honest, candid opinion on their reviews of cinema.
I loved loved the lodge. This on the other hand was boring af and more of a drama. I would never recommend it. Its pretentious af putting this at number 1 lol
Your videos are always a treat, and this one is perfect timing - tomorrow I begin my yearly tradition of 100 Days of Halloween. I have 419 films in my pool to choose from, but the flicks you pick will definitely be chosen.
I have a folder of "Rewatcheables" by genre, but how do you work with such a long list? I've considered just adding films to Google calendar, like maybe years in advance. To remind me to revisit.
@@user-nx8zm3yd8d Letterboxd! Every time I hear about a film that sounds right for those 100 days, I save it to my playlist. It’s so much better than the spreadsheet I used to use.
I’ve been a big fan of your channel for years and I always love seeing your reviews, lists, and what I watched this month! I had not heard of your number one film, so thank you for introducing it to me. I love The Lodge. Our lists have a lot of overlap but in very different orders, so I thought I’d share. Love your list! And as always, I love hearing your thoughts on movies/media. I happen to have seen 11 horror movies so far this year, so I have eleven on my list as well. 1. A Quiet Place: Day One 2. Maxxxine 3. Love Lies Bleeding 4. I Saw the Tv Glow 5. Longlegs 6. immaculate 7. Abigail 8. Under Paris 9. Arcadian 10. Lisa Frankenstein 11. In a Violent Nature
I love your list and channel! Keep making great horror videos! What are your thoughts on Stopmotion? I felt lucky to see this in the theater, and it would be the only one I would add to your list. I missed The Devil's Bath, and need to watch that! Thanks!
I love your reviews as you rarely do spoilers and we have very similar tastes. Like you I live in Australia but in the country so I usually only get to see movies on my home cinema so I’m a bit behind your viewing reviews. Keep up the wonderful content
I still haven't seen a few of these so it's good to know that these are the ones I should watch first :) Still waiting for a release date for Longlegs in my country (unfortunately only VOD). Love Lies Bleeding is my number 1 this year so far even though I wouldn't put it under the horror genre, more thriller. Non-horror wise Perfect Days is just the most perfect movie overall. Otherwise Late Night with the Devil is pretty high on my list too but I still didn't see any horror movie that I would truly love from this year (apart from Love Lies Bleeding if I'm counting that). Do you also plan on doing a similar video on non-horror movies from this year so far? :)
I have seen 3 of your list. But trust and believe, I plan to watch everything else on the list! I'm SO looking forward to finally being able to watch Longlegs.
Thank you so much for putting The Devil's Bath on my radar - I had not even heard of it and The Lodge is one of my all-time favorite Horror movies. I haven't seen Love Lies Bleeding yet, but I've heard so many good things about it, so as I soon as I figure out the streaming service it's on, I'll be catching up on that one! My list is very similar, but in a different order: 10. MaXXXine 9. Longlegs 8. I Saw the TV Glow 7. Abigail 6. Arcadian 5. Immaculate 4. The First Omen 3. Late Night with the Devil 2. Lisa Frankenstein 1. A Quiet Place: Day One
I haven’t really enjoyed this year’s horror movies that much, which is not typical. Longlegs is probably the only one so far that I’ll rewatch down the line.
I’ve seen all but one movie on your list (I’ll get to Quite Place: Day One eventually), but I think every one of these deserves to be on here, even if it’s not in the order I would have them, and others missing (Stopmotion, In a Violent Nature). Only caveat is I don’t think of Love Lies Bleeding as horror, but still an amazing movie.
Our cinematic tastes don't always allign but I loved this list and enjoyed so many of the films mentioned here ... and I will definitely be watching the ones I have not seen yet. Thank you!
I’m so hyped for Longlegs I can’t believe we have to wait until SEPTEMBER 5TH to watch it in cinemas in my country, I just know I won’t escape the spoilers and it makes me so sad (why do distribution companies do this??? almost 2 months of waiting WHY?)
So I just watched 'The Devil's Bath' because of your list and holy shit! I'm glad you mentioned this cause I haven't picked up much on this film any way whatsoever. What a gutpunch, thank you :D
YES YES YES! Devil's Bath blew me away! My favourite, top horror of the year on my personal list. It literally was not a slow burn for me either... the movie felt perfectly paced. My gosh, I really really really want more films like this. What I love about this, is not only portrays actual history, but it's psychological and existential horror. It sticks with you. It makes me think. It makes you feel afterwards. This film was such a masterpiece. I seriously (it's so obvious hahaha) want and need more incredible films like this 😭😭😭👌👌👌👏👏👏 Emma, impeccable taste, and brilliant video as always 😁 Thanks so much! I love your personal list so much 💚💚💚
I absolutely loved Lisa Frankenstein, I thought it was really funny and cute. My favourite was probably Quiet Place: Day One… it was so emotional for me! I can’t think of any horror that ever made me cry that much (though Hereditary would come close). Good list!
I feel like I’m one of the few who actually loved Maxxxine. It’s not perfect, and there’s definitely some plot issues especially in the third act but overall I thought it was a fun ride, it captures that 80s crime film vibe so perfectly and I loved seeing the way the events of X still affect Maxine. There’s definitely some issues but I’m so surprised by how many people are so negative about it
Finally getting to see Quiet Place Day One & Longlegs this weekend. Didn't realise both of those movies had divided audiences so much, super excited to see what I think! Thanks for the rec list! 🥰
I Saw The TV Glow was such a unique and overwhelming experience. That third act will stay with me forever. Abigail was SO FUN and I’m still angry at the marketing. I’ve also seen Longlegs three times and I have a different experience every time. It’s not a perfect film but I cannot stop thinking about it but I adore it. And Late Night With the Devil is SO DAMN GOOD
Glad I'm not the only one who prefers Immaculate to The First Omen, which I thought had some great sequences but relied way too much on previous lore for my liking. My faves of the year so far are Longlegs, Chime and I Saw the TV Glow!! Really looking forward to seeing The Devil's Bath as I loved their previous two films
The Devil's Bath! That movie caught me so off guard. So well balanced, so dark, great main performance, so emotionally investing. And when it reveals it's inspired by real events, omg
So, I just watched The Devil's Bath a few days ago and hollllllly shiittt it was so bleak but pretty outstanding. I loved it and it really broke me at the same time.
Loved your list, as always ❤ Here's mine: 1. Longlegs, 2. Late Night With the Devil, 3. Stopmotion, 4. The First Omen, 5. Immaculate, 6. Lisa Frankenstein, 7. In a Violent Nature, 8. Maxxxine, 9. A Quiet Place Day One, 10. Double Blind.
I definitely can't stop thinking about LongLegs - and want to see it a second time. Its one I'm so excited to talk about and I NEED people to watch! You've made me need to prioritise A Quiet Place Day One tbh now with your reaction... I need to see it!
Love the list all of those are pretty much in my top 10 also i think once i watch oddity it could top my list. My top 5 are: 1. Love Lies Bleeding 2 Longlegs 3. Abigail 4. The First Omen 5. The Devil's Bath
Thank you so much for turning me on to 'The Devil's Bath'. A stunningly beautiful portrait of ultimate despair. I can't believe the lead actress wrote and performed the soundtrack. I am now obsessed with Soap&Skin. 😊
Watched The Devil's Bath tonight because of this video and may have sobbed for 30 minutes after but it was amazing. Longlegs was my #1 so far this year but I think that probably topped it.
Loved The Omen and Longlegs. Got to see both in the cinemas and it was so deathly quiet in the theatre for Longlengs that you could even hear the rustle of clothes when someone shifted. Goosebumps all over!
I'm going to give those two a rewatch. Wasn't that impressed with either first time around. Longlegs couldn't make up its mind if it was a deadly serious FBI mystery or a disturbing, wacky Nic Cage horror. The problem for me was the FBI stuff was so dull. Cage's character was a bit too much like Buffalo Bill, it was too distracting lol.
Thanks for the recommendations of The devil's Bath I forgot about that one, will check it out. As for the 9/8 for me The first Omen is far better, I watched them back to back but fell I need to re watch to see how they hold up.
Awesome to see "Late night with the devil" gets so much praise from you. It was a great emotional ride that contained so much stuff with so little, plus it had the amazing actor in the lead. It was a brilliant idea to show us somewhat arrogant tv star and how it gets personal for him and that he is in fact a likeable human being with feelings like everyone else who suffered a terrible loss. The writing was just top notch and they knew how to increase the drama and tension over time. The "mass hallucination" really got me and it gets only better and better.
I went to see it twice at cinema and cried even more on the second viewing. Not sure if it was tears of sadness for Sam's story .... or tears of Joy because Frodo survived! Huge cat lover here so Frodo just made the movie for me! Plus... the score was phenomenal!
Surprised that you put Immaculate above The First Omen. In my opinion, The First Omen is a better made film but considering the similar themes of the two, I feel like Immaculate actually had the balls to go there in the end and make its message clear.
For me 1 Story, 2 Character, 3-10 everything else. Lost scarred me in investing in mysteries that were never answered and I can't abide plotholes. That is personal preference, but for that reason I definitely liked Immaculate a lot more.
Great list, a lot of these will def make my list. Have you seen Slay? It's a 2024 Tubi original and is so good for what it is. Comedy horror done right, Drag Queens Vs. Vampires, highly recommend giving it a watch!
Hoping to see Longlegs and I Saw the TV Glow this week so excited to see them on this list! I'm the type of person that would swap Immaculate and The First Omen haha😅
Recently saw Longlegs and that has reached high on one viewing. A second will happen. Here's my top 10, though the bottom two will likely be replaced easy: 1. Late Night with the Devil 2. MaXXXine 3. Longlegs 4. The First Omen 5. Immaculate 6. Love Lies Bleeding 7. A Quiet Place: Day One 8. Abigail 9. Sting 10. Godzilla x Kong
My list includes a couple of different ones. Stopmotion and Disappear Completely. I think Disappear Completely officially released earlier, but not in America until this year. I have heard no one talking about it, but I think it deserves much more attention. So cool. Devil's Bath, also, didn't 100 percent work for me...but boy oh boy was that final act a doozy.
I was so excited to see Abigail get some love. It was such a fun romp and definitely hada 2000s vibe. I thought the cast was fantastic and really liked it. Long Legs was a fun watch. I thought it was good but had some plot holes that bummed me out a lot. I liked Black Coat's daughter a lot. I definitely gotta check out the Devil's bath
I watched the devils bath last night and I can’t thank you enough for the rec. anyone know any other good folk horror?? Obsessed with this genre at the moment
I love The first omen, Longlegs, late night with the devil, the devil's bath and Abigail...... I liked immaculate but it was pretty obvious.... But The first omen always takes everything over. I love Nell Tiger Free and everything she does.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
OMFG!! I have just finished watching The Devil's Bath and can TOTALLY understand why you put this as your number one!! Absolutely fantastic movie!! The VVitch vibes definitely with some madness of The Wicker man and Midsommar thrown in for good measure... as well a very disturbing yet extremely sad turn of events for Agnes. And to think this is all based on fact too? Thanks Emma!! One of the best foreign movies I've seen so far this year... and there have been a few awesome ones (Red Rooms, Anatomy Of A Fall, Infested, The Coffee Table ect). I hadn't heard of this until I saw your top ten list so thank you! 👍
Late Night With the Devil my fave so far. Anja Plaschg should get an Oscar nom for the second-to-last sequence in The Devil's Bath tbh. Unreal. K STEW 4 lyfe!
I love the list, Emma! I've only seen Maxxxine so far, usually I'm one year behind with everything. 😅 But now there are a lot of fun horror movies to look forward to! I love the lighting in this video by the way, very cool! 😁 🌄
I’m shocked nobody is talking about EXHUMA. PLEASE don’t let it fly under the radar! - I’m also very excited about the buzz with ODDITY, so we can only hope! 🤞🏼
My list (Have not seen The First Omen and I don’t consider Love Lies Bleeding a horror movie) 1) LONGLEGS 2) I Saw The TV Glow 3) Abigail 4) Late Night w/ the Devil 5) Oddity 6) Immaculate 7) Stopmotion 8) Maxxxine 9) In A Violent Nature 10) Arcadian
I snuck out of bed to watch the original Omen. Terrified me but I couldn’t go to my parents for help because I wasn’t supposed to be up, watching horror movies. Still remember tricycle, nanny and shaved head. Vividly.
The Devils Bath 🤔 you have immediately interested to check this out. Much agreed on this whole list. 2024 has been pretty solid! Can’t wait for the rest of the year.
1. Abigail 2. MaXXXine 3. Immaculate 4. The First Omen 5. Lisa Frankenstein 6. Love Lies Bleeding 7. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire 8. Longlegs 9. Late Night with the Devil 10. A Quiet Place: Day One
My top 10 so far: 1. Longlegs 2. The First Omen 3. A Quiet Place: Day One 4. Abigail 5. Infested 6. Immaculate 7. Lowlifes 8. Lisa Frankenstein 9. The Devil's Bath 10. Late Night with the Devil I have yet to see I Saw The TV Glow, Love Lies Bleeding, Maxxxine, Oddity, nor In a Violent Nature.
“I have a problem, but so do you, that’s why you’re here” 😂😂😂 It is indeed, and we love it here. ❤
You've convinced me to see Longlegs. I think a lot of reviewers just can't deal with a slow-burn story these days.
It has some campy moments in it but they’re entertaining. If you go into it with that in mind I think you’ll enjoy it
Go see for sure! People were okay with the pacing but didn’t like the twist IMO
There’s a number story elements that get picked up in Longlegs, only for nothing to be done with them.
It is really good.
It's great but was definitely over hyped
Now I've got to catch the devils bath
it's brilliant
I just watched it. I thought it was painfully slow and I didn't like the plot.
@pamelaboden I just watched it and I thought things escalated pretty quickly 😂
It was mid imo. Except for the end.
Oh great you still did one of those! So happy to see Lisa Frankenstein on there :) Amazing how almost all of those movies have a female protagonist =)
Yasss queen!
@@user-nx8zm3yd8d loooool
first omen shocked me so good! i kept rewinding it to see what i had just seen! such a sleeper hit
I feel Stopmotion deserves some more attention! What a chilling, sinister vibe this movie had. Some quite disturbing visuals and such an original storyline! Top three at LEAST for me.
Stopmotion is in my top 10 for sure ... found it deeply creepy! Absolutely brilliant movie and so glad to own it on Blu-Ray now 👍
Yes!
FOR SURE!!!!!
Loved the little “not once, but twice, but as many times as they would like” 😂
Love Lies Bleeding is a terrific film & Kristin Stewart is an actress unafraid to tackle any role & one of exceptional talent. Happy to see it here !
Absolutely fantastic movie I agree wholeheartedly!!
@@davidellis5141 Just watched it yesterday, and it was an excellent film. But that ending was crazy
But its definitely not horror
I didn’t think of it as a horror film; more like film noir. Tres noir. But I won’t kick about the characterization.
GODZILLA IS EXCITED. THNK YOU EMMA. LISA FRANKENSTEIN I haven’t seen yet. But I do remember having Lisa frank folders in school when I was a young Godzilla.
I love reading your comments so much ❤️ thank you Godzilla
@@spookyastronauts thank you Emma and also thanks for keeping the ocean clean!
Here's my Top 5 of the year so far: 1 - Longlegs, 2 - Exhuma, 3 - Late Night with the Devil, 4 - Infested, 5 - Dream Scenario. I'm excited to see The Oddity, Nosferatu, Alien: Romulus, and The Devil's Bath.
Oh, Exhuma was SOOOOOO good!!
Dream Scenario is so great! I don't count it as horror but it's definitely in my top 5 movies of this year overall, so good
@@721rena uhm....i mentioned them because I am excited to see them - they haven't even been released yet. I'm not stupid.
@@721renayou kinda skipped over the part of their comment where they listed their 5 movies like they said. and proceeded to make another list of movies they were excited to see. don’t get so angry or accusatory with people when they’re just being human. it really isn’t a good look
Oddity is awesome!
Great list, Emma! I haven't had the chance to watch some of the films on this list yet, but I'm very interested in The Devil's Bath, especially because the directors will be adapting A Head Full of Ghosts, a book you recommended here on the channel and that I loved.
A Head Full of Ghosts is so so good!!!
I LOVED Longlegs! I want to see it again in theaters.
Longlegs is a fantastic movie. I have been watching horror since I was a kid. 10/10 for me. Absolutely loved it.
Oliver it too.
About 3 minutes into The Devil’s Bath realised I knew exactly what it was about and where the story would go because I had researched the same historical events for my own project on the subject so I had a very different kind of painful experience watching that film 😆 Ah well, I think my project is different enough that it could still be done…
there's always a sense of "inevitable tragedy" with historical horror, that's alright
It sucked as a film but horror girls love it.
I’ve never agreed with a list more! The Devil’s Bath was sooooo good.
Just watched it... and OMG it was absolutely brilliant!!!!!
Need to watch Abigail, love lies bleeding and the devils bath! I would also say stop motion was a top 10 movie for me! Ur always awesome spooky!
Abigail is a fun one. So glad it got an R rating. Curious how many gallons of fake blood they used. Dan Stevens is great in it. 🎉
I’ve followed you for a LONG time and I dig your taste and enthusiasm with horror movies especially. Love an honest, candid opinion on their reviews of cinema.
From the director of THe Lodge? Count me in!
Is as good as The Lodge or maybe even better, but it's different!
I loved loved the lodge. This on the other hand was boring af and more of a drama. I would never recommend it. Its pretentious af putting this at number 1 lol
Good list. Review Oddity please!
Surprised Stopmotion did not make your list.....Not sure it is the best but since watching The Coffee Table I have not gotten it out of my mind...
Same. Haven't seen Coffee Table though. I know what it's about and it might ruin my day, so...
lisa frankenstein was filmed right by my house, i’m glad it didn’t disappoint!
Thank you once again & I forgive the lateness 😉

Love lies bleeding sounds fantastic! This is one I didn't know about! Thank you- per usual.
I watched it and I loved it! Great movie!
I just watched Oddity and for me that is the best of 2024 so far. Close second would be The First Omen..I haven't seen The Devil's bath yet.
Oddity is so good by far the best of the year

For quite some decades movies have been heavily promoted especially on tv. Right now there's not a big publicity for most horror movies.🤔
Omg I’m so excited someone else is as hyped about Gretel & Hansel as I am!! One of my favorite movies of all time, and I lovedddd Longlegs
So I just watched 'The Devil's Bath' because of your list and holy shit! I'm glad you mentioned this cause I haven't picked up much on this film any way whatsoever. What a gutpunch, thank you :D

Thanks for the recommendations of The devil's Bath I forgot about that one, will check it out.
As for the 9/8 for me The first Omen is far better, I watched them back to back but fell I need to re watch to see how they hold up.
Awesome to see "Late night with the devil" gets so much praise from you. It was a great emotional ride that contained so much stuff with so little, plus it had the amazing actor in the lead. It was a brilliant idea to show us somewhat arrogant tv star and how it gets personal for him and that he is in fact a likeable human being with feelings like everyone else who suffered a terrible loss. The writing was just top notch and they knew how to increase the drama and tension over time. The "mass hallucination" really got me and it gets only better and better.
I loved Quiet Place Day One. I knew I would though because the director’s first movie had me bawling.
I went to see it twice at cinema and cried even more on the second viewing. Not sure if it was tears of sadness for Sam's story .... or tears of Joy because Frodo survived! Huge cat lover here so Frodo just made the movie for me! Plus... the score was phenomenal!
Great list Emma! Hoping more underrated gems make it to your list in the remaining half of the year❤❤❤
Maxxine was good! But hey, when you see Longlegs after, you just forget about it. But Love Mia Goth.Loooove Longlegs!
This is so much fun (as always!). Will you do a top 10 non-horror of 2024 so far list too?
immaculate making the list is wild.
Surprised that you put Immaculate above The First Omen. In my opinion, The First Omen is a better made film but considering the similar themes of the two, I feel like Immaculate actually had the balls to go there in the end and make its message clear.
For me 1 Story, 2 Character, 3-10 everything else. Lost scarred me in investing in mysteries that were never answered and I can't abide plotholes.
That is personal preference, but for that reason I definitely liked Immaculate a lot more.
The directors of Abigail also did Ready Or Not and I loved both films! I hope they keep up this fun horror energy in their next film!
Devil's bath was so so good. The acting in those two scenes near the end...damn.
Great list, a lot of these will def make my list. Have you seen Slay? It's a 2024 Tubi original and is so good for what it is. Comedy horror done right, Drag Queens Vs. Vampires, highly recommend giving it a watch!
I absolutely love Lisa Frankenstein! One of my favorites of the year!
I absolutely adored The Devil's Bath and have been recommending it to people left and right.
Good list and POV's on point as usual. BTW Think Stop Motion and The Coffee Table could be a good DTOY episode, on mental anguish alone 🤯 lol🤘🏼
Great list! Gotta watch The Devils Bath tho 👍
I just had a double feature with "Devil's Bath" and "Exhuma." Both were fantastic and definitely in my top 10 of the year.
Can't wait for 👽 Romulus
Kristen Stewart is awesome. She was the best part of Crimes of the Future.
Late Night with the Devil was cool
Hoping to see Longlegs and I Saw the TV Glow this week so excited to see them on this list! I'm the type of person that would swap Immaculate and The First Omen haha😅
Recently saw Longlegs and that has reached high on one viewing. A second will happen. Here's my top 10, though the bottom two will likely be replaced easy:
1. Late Night with the Devil
2. MaXXXine
3. Longlegs
4. The First Omen
5. Immaculate
6. Love Lies Bleeding
7. A Quiet Place: Day One
8. Abigail
9. Sting
10. Godzilla x Kong
Ok so I desperately need to see The Devils Bath as our lists are very similar. Your No2 is my No1.
My list includes a couple of different ones. Stopmotion and Disappear Completely. I think Disappear Completely officially released earlier, but not in America until this year. I have heard no one talking about it, but I think it deserves much more attention. So cool. Devil's Bath, also, didn't 100 percent work for me...but boy oh boy was that final act a doozy.
I was so excited to see Abigail get some love. It was such a fun romp and definitely hada 2000s vibe. I thought the cast was fantastic and really liked it. Long Legs was a fun watch. I thought it was good but had some plot holes that bummed me out a lot. I liked Black Coat's daughter a lot. I definitely gotta check out the Devil's bath
I watched the devils bath last night and I can’t thank you enough for the rec. anyone know any other good folk horror?? Obsessed with this genre at the moment
I love The first omen, Longlegs, late night with the devil, the devil's bath and Abigail...... I liked immaculate but it was pretty obvious.... But The first omen always takes everything over. I love Nell Tiger Free and everything she does.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
OMFG!! I have just finished watching The Devil's Bath and can TOTALLY understand why you put this as your number one!! Absolutely fantastic movie!! The VVitch vibes definitely with some madness of The Wicker man and Midsommar thrown in for good measure... as well a very disturbing yet extremely sad turn of events for Agnes. And to think this is all based on fact too? Thanks Emma!! One of the best foreign movies I've seen so far this year... and there have been a few awesome ones (Red Rooms, Anatomy Of A Fall, Infested, The Coffee Table ect). I hadn't heard of this until I saw your top ten list so thank you! 👍
Late Night With the Devil my fave so far. Anja Plaschg should get an Oscar nom for the second-to-last sequence in The Devil's Bath tbh. Unreal.
K STEW 4 lyfe!
I love the list, Emma! I've only seen Maxxxine so far, usually I'm one year behind with everything. 😅 But now there are a lot of fun horror movies to look forward to! I love the lighting in this video by the way, very cool! 😁 🌄
I’m shocked nobody is talking about EXHUMA. PLEASE don’t let it fly under the radar! - I’m also very excited about the buzz with ODDITY, so we can only hope! 🤞🏼
I watched "Lisa Frankenstein" the other day, after seeing so many recommendations. It does not disappoint. Hilarious and adorable!

I snuck out of bed to watch the original Omen. Terrified me but I couldn’t go to my parents for help because I wasn’t supposed to be up, watching horror movies.
Still remember tricycle, nanny and shaved head. Vividly.
I was wondering if you'd seen The Devil's Bath and looked for your review. I LOVED it too!
Totally agree with everything you said about The Devil's Bath.
longlegs is fantastic! Great list, I'd replace Quite Place Day one and Lisa Frankenstein with Lowlifes and Stopmotion.
Longlegs was amazing. Second place to Abigail. I did not see that coming.
The Devils Bath 🤔 you have immediately interested to check this out. Much agreed on this whole list. 2024 has been pretty solid! Can’t wait for the rest of the year.
