Red Rooms was such a fascinating watch. I still don't know how to feel about this movie and what exactly it was trying to do, but it was certainly an interesting experience.

[@aperson4640]

The actors in Strange Darling are putting on a clinic. Some of the best performances of the year.

[@AstralAustin]

Wdym by clinic?

[@aperson4640]

@@AstralAustin It's an expression that essentially means they're teaching an advanced acting class.

[@markhernden9472]

The performances of the two leads were beyond awesome.

[@NN-df7hl]

It's been a ridiculously awesome year for actresses in Horror. Demi Moore, Naomi Scott, Willa Fitzgerald...their performances transcend the stories themselves. Like Smile 2 let me down in the third act, but Naomi was firing on all cylinders.

[@ruecortina3192]

Strange Darling is beyond overrated. It feels like someone asked 90s M.Night to direct a serial-killer flick with a whole lotta ‘twists’…. Cinematography is great, btw.

[@stephanierenee7655]

I'm so excited to watch multiple films from this list. I'm planning on watching Strange Darling tonight! Thanks for this list!

[@JoePike44]

Great list. I haven't heard of several of them. My favorites so far this year are Longlegs, Late night with the devil, Strange Darlings, Oddity, and Abigal.

[@damienfenton3880]

It is actually really fitting to have the word UNDERRATED underneath your picture because your channel is very underrated, especially when taking into account the number of subs.

[@megang6948]

As someone who watches horror movies almost exclusively, it was so wonderful seeing some recommendations I haven’t seen yet! Love your videos ❤

[@jerzirhayzza7166]

It saves so much time. I grew up in a Funeral Parlor, I learned very young that it's not just old people and drunk drivers that die, the Grim Reaper is open to pretty much anyone. So my siblings and I were all funny about time and how we spend it. It is the ONE commodity we will NEVER get back. Unless someone actually develops a San Junipero, of course. (Black Mirror reference.) PS: We were the coolest kids in school, we had REAL dead bodies in our dungeon. ha ha

[@KennethPalmer10]

Glad to see you back with a list! I definitely added some of your picks to my letterboxd watchlist!! Strange Darling’, ‘Red Rooms’ and ‘Smile 2’ are my favorite horror films this year! 🎉🎉🎉

[@InsidiousJazz]

Strange Darling is probably the best movie I've watched all year.

[@steveakka]

Great film 👍

[@FilumPodcast-o1u]

It's intense, and then it gets more intense! Amazing film

[@alexkiddonen]

I hated it

[@marcoantoniomarquezperez2652]

Horror flicks are fuel for my soul. Milk & Serial rocks. It got hardcore recommendations from Horror youtubers and it delivers the scares. That's the girl from the Scream, series. I watched "It's What's Inside" on Netflix. It's pretty engaging, but wraps itself a little too fast for me towards the end. It should have been a little longer and lingered more on the "Switches" plot. Infested was alright. I bit too dramatic for me, but I did enjoy the fast pace. Just didn't care for all the crying. It felt a little over the top. I really enjoyed Exhuma. Great recommendation. Thanx for the heads up.

[@zachpajak7493]

Fantastic video! Lots to add to the watchlist now - thanks!!

[@Kimberley81]

Strange Darling and Oddity are on my top movies of the year, can't wait to see the other films you recommend!

[@alexmts1]

Thank you for these recs!! Tbh I feel this year has been very bad for film but hearing about these movies gives me hope to find good movies

[@ImpressionBlend]

Honestly, I’ve been underwhelmed by the movies this year myself, but horror has been really good

[@sirtorchington]

Great list!!! Exhuma is a favorite of mine this year. Also been excited for Red Rooms since I saw you praise it in the spring; blew me away! Brilliant film. Got to see it on my birthday in theaters it was awesome/unsettling lol. Oddity blu ray coming this week, excited to check it out finally in full HD. Heard nothing but good things

[@BUKUDI]

Oddity was great. Watched it on your previous recommendation, so thank you. Great cast & acting, but the lead, wow, she was fantastic. Especially love the scene where the guy is outside the door trying to help the wife. Damn you're cool. Dont know if anyones told you that yet today

[@jimm.6542]

Finally watched Strange Darling yesterday. I was held captive the whole time. Highly recommend it!

[@veronicamoravega7754]

Thank you for mentioning Red Rooms, I watched it earlier this year and it was GREAT. I was truly creeped out, some scenes made my skin crawl.

[@lewis9950]

Thanks for this!! I was starving for new horror movies to check out for October. I’d also like to see a video on some underrated horror book recommendations. 👀 Haven’t seen those from you in a while!

[@RightNowMan]

Thanks for this video, good info! 👍

[@joeyattard859]

Low lifes was a great movie! Really good recommend

[@xzelta]

Red Rooms is one of my favourite movies of the year!!! A gnarly, slow burn that does realism very well, all while leading up to an outlandish and shocking reveal.

[@BrettWB]

Wouldnt say any of these are underrated, but definitely under watched! Is it just me or is horror quickly becoming the best genre out there the last 10 years? So, SO many quality films coming out of this space!

[@gurunugget]

underrated, under watched same thing

[@BrettWB]

@@gurunugget No, they are not. Literally different things.

[@scott972]

Thank you for recommending Lowlifes, awesome movie. And I liked the ending, even though it seems to be polarizing.

[@ImpressionBlend]

I'm glad you loved it!

[@zianawind2970]

Thank You For Your Reviews! I like your delivery So much, and it’s no easy task for sure. I appreciate how poised you are while talking about the films. You share your experience with enough objective information about the films. It’s personal yet not overbearing.This is exactly the type of reviews I can actually watch and get perspective from. Thank you for helping find films worth my time. It’s so nice to find reviewers i actually enjoy listening to.

[@alfredmeneses5496]

Totally agree that Strange Darling and Oddity are so underrated but so soooo good. So glad I got to catch them both in theaters.

[@tekkamanblade21]

I'll tell you what's underrated, Marianna's channel. You should've reached 100k subs a looong time ago. God tier channel for scifi and horror recomendations.

[@passenger128]

Many interesting recommendations, I'll check them out! Thank you (:

[@The3rdGunman]

Watched Strange Darling tonight on your recommendation-WOW best film I've watched all year!

[@ImpressionBlend]

Awesome! Glad you loved it!

[@CosmicJewel777]

Thank you ❤ Subscribed

[@ayushganguli137]

I thought I'll comment "Saw everything" as I was hunting the horror flicks of this year but surprisingly haven't watched 5 horror films out of these. It's actually an underrated list. Although as of now Exhuma is my favourite horror film of the year and I have watched oddity and it stands as the 3rd just after Longlegs. Overall Nice list.

[@ImpressionBlend]

Thank you! Hope you discover some more favorites!

[@Locarb]

I've watched Strange Darling times in theaters so far. So yea, trust Marianna folks, its really that damn good.

[@johnpaulgonzaga5997]

Just new to your channel and love the classy atmosphere of your vids. Really good take on your Joker 2 and Megalopolis vids. Just confirms my judgment to pass those and save my money. Lookin forward to more vids in the future. Peace!

[@dacornguy]

I sadly just missed Strange Darling in theatres. Can't wait to watch it though!

[@ImpressionBlend]

I did too, but watching it at home did NOT disappoint - exceeded all of my expectations.

[@scottthemoviecritic8576]

Absolutely incredible video Marianna. Really enjoyed it. Haven’t seen any of these films, but definitely like the look of some of them. Heard amazing things about Strange Darling, so will definitely give that a watch at some point. Infested looks quite creepy as well. Awesome stuff Marrianna.👍

[@brandonmanrique1471]

I think my favorite genre title released this year is still Cuckoo, I really loved the style of that film and I think it didn't get enough attention or promotion from Neon. Humanist Vampire was also really cool.

[@kingdicelille]

I'll definitely check out those movies I haven't seen yet. "Strange darling" is incredibly good with superlative acting.

[@cdolan13]

Speaking of spiders, I really enjoyed Sting. As far as my favorite horror movies of 2024: 1. Nosferatu - I know, it hasn't been released, yet, but this spot has already been reserved. 2. Abigail 3. Longlegs - I just love the mood Oz Perkins sets - I love all four of his movies 4. Terrifier 3 5. Oddity 6. Sting 7. Cuckoo 8. Die Alone

[@TheHorrorMiserMontyG]

I've seen Strange Darling and Infested and both are pretty good horror films (have you seen Sting yet, Marianna) I don't know have seen there two but I would recommend Mr. Crocket and The Last Breath (the final film that Julian Sands starred in)

[@sudarmaji77]

nice list

[@filmpositive6601]

Strange Darling was awesome, and Oddity terrified the ever-living shit out of me! I will put the rest on my watch list. Thanks!

[@Armandthevampire]

Red rooms is my favourite movie, (not only horror) I have seen for a long while. Simply great.

[@GareBare90]

Now we talking! Come thru Strange Darling and It's What's Inside!

[@thesilentknight4554]

Good choices. Please do a review for Terrifier 3, I beg of you!🙏😁

[@FallenKnight2244]

For Resident Evil fan, there is a Mr X in Exhuma lol

[@horsetoothcinema]

Thanks for shouting out Lowlifes! Watched it earlier and the year and was really impressed, then had even more fun showing a friend recently and watching his reaction to the twist. Also has maybe the best line delivery of the year (you know the one)

[@ImpressionBlend]

Oh yea, I know exactly haha

[@lindsayweimer2208]

Wow I have seen exactly zero of these! I think i have spooky season all sorted now. In love with Arya's cameo

[@ImpressionBlend]

Coffee officially Arya-approved, which is the most important stamp of quality ))

[@Kakki82]

First! I will be watching the ones I haven't. Very good list, Marianna. 😊

[@ImpressionBlend]

Thank you! Enjoy 😈

[@jacotromp59581]

Strange Darling was a very satisfying movie. Constantly made tou question what's going on and the pay off is amazing

[@madhusaivemulamada3556]

Good recommendations

[@8teenOfficial]

Lowlifes is such a fun horror movie, needs more attention

[@ImpressionBlend]

Seriously! Nobody knows about this movie, it's just sitting there on Tubi

[@susanmctavish6639]

I wanted to see Strange Darling in the theater but they took it off so quickly. Where can I watch? Great work as always, Marianna.

[@Tyler_W]

I had to rent it.

[@mksongbird]

US release of Red Rooms was so confusing. finally released on digital only at the beginning of this month. felt like it should have been released when it was getting some buzz last year.

[@ImpressionBlend]

Agreed! I'm not sure why they just dumped it on VoD quietly, it's such an amazing film

[@J.J.Jameson_of_Daily_Bugle]

If Alycia Debnam-Carey is in "It's What's Inside" it's gonna be sure watch for me. That girl is freaking gorgeous. Also I've never heard of "Sleep" so thanks for that, will most likely check it out in couple of days. Still didn't get to see Lowlifes but I've heard good things about it. Apparently it's kinda slow burn at first but then becomes really good if you kinda endure first half. Oh and there's "Azrael", it starts gorgeous and talented Samara Weaving, it's a movie based on some biblical apocalypse (Rapture I think) where everyone lost the ability to speak, and she's offered as sacrifice to some demonic entity which chases her the entire movie and there's no dialogue in the movie. For some reason that seems to be the latest trend in our Hollyweird lately, the no dialogue movies.

[@mrsbaratheon]

Humanist Vampire sounds good, I'll have to give that one a watch!! ☺️

[@gramarye_cottage]

Jessabelle (2014) starring Sarah Snook is one I watched recently and thought it was really good and underrated 😉

[@robertcrawford1791]

I want to address those who have not seen It’s What’s Inside, or maybe like me you started it and then gave up. I started watching this movie and hated it. The people were obnoxious and annoying so I shut it off. Then I started hearing good things so I tried again and I got further into it but I stopped because it felt like they literally expected us to memorize 8 peoples names AND faces within 20 minutes and I was like….no. THEN, I got pissed at the movies assumption’s on what kind of time I had so….I watched it again. But THIS time I paid attention to everyone’s names and faces and interwoven current and pay relationships and literally memorized it all. Guess what. Great movie. Loved it. Thought about it for days after. Definitely watch it. Also, great list!!

[@dani3po]

Willa Fitzgerald´s performance in "Strange Darling" was surprisingly great. Last time I saw her was in the "Scream" TV Series and she wasn't very good.

[@Mihai0406]

I only watched 2 from this list.The Odity which I liked. It felt like a good story from The Creepshow movie/show.And other one is Strange Darling which I didn't like because of too much plot armor for the main character.I mean I get what they were trying to go for but maybe I'm not in the target audience.Some other horror movies I've seen and apreciated (some more or less the other) are:Abigail (3.5/5), Salem's Lot (2024)(3/5),The Substance (2024)(4,5/5),Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024)(3/5),Rosemary's Baby (1968)(4,5/5),Alien Romulus (2024)(3,5/5),Perfect Blue (1997)(4,5/5).

[@SleepFan771]

I loved The Wailing and Oldboy, so I guess I have to see Exhuma!

[@marcelodangelo915]

I think Marianna and I should meet… be BFFs… i love coffee, she lovea coffee… i love horror movies, she loves horror movies… we almost have the same taste for movies (except Milk and Serial!)! Hi Marianna!! 👋🏼

[@RJZII]

HUMANIST VAMPIRE IS A PERFECT FILM. LOVED THE LEAD ACTRESS

[@lutherfox5744]

Hello Marianna. Would you place "Humanist Vampire..." in the same category as "Let The Right One In"?

[@vins1979]

Strange Darling is PHENOMENAL. I really liked Sleep, didn't find it too slow. It's what's inside is very fun and Oddity is a very good movie.

[@groovyone]

Just watched Oddity last night. Fantastic flick...

[@jasonwebster9300]

Exhuma is my favourite film of 2024. With shamanism, malevolent spirits and South Korean cultural and historical themes, the film is well-paced with genuinely creepy moments and great acting from Kim Go-Eun, Choi Min-sik and Lee Do-hyun. Kim Go-Eun proves why she one of the best actresses in South Korea and deserved Best Actress at the prestigious 60th Baeksang Arts Awards - one of four wins for the film. Exhuma was a commercial success earning USD$98 million worldwide against a USD$9 million budget.

[@marcsullivan7987]

Oddity is my fave as well

[@topdogrlg]

Strange Darling was great. Give Willa Fitzgerald all the awards please. Also shoutout to Kyle Gallner who is cementing himself as this generation's scream king.

[@ImpressionBlend]

Kyle Gallner is such an underused actor, need him in more/bigger movies!

[@BrettWB]

@@ImpressionBlend Same with Willa. Both of them should be household names.

[@garrymugen486]

Wooooo an Impression Blend Underrated Series video... Guaranteed Gems from start to finish ~the much needed kryptonite to the endless scroll monster living in our streaming services that luvs making suppers cold and bedtimes needlessly late and often disappointingly wasteful. Thanks for saving us Marianna (:

[@joshknoll5172]

I loved Infested. It was so good.

[@lutello3012]

I don't want to watch Infested because I LIKE spiders! Sort of. Usually they're too small for me to see how scary they look and it's fun to watch a spider wrapping up an annoying buzzing turd bird.

[@claude-marcjoseph8661]

Daddy’s Head was creepy as hell. VHS Beyond was also a good watch. Both I recommend.

[@trayntp]

Where is Milk & Serial available?

[@sozei]

KZbin

[@ImpressionBlend]

I mentioned this in the video, it’s on the KZbin channel of the guys who made it - just search for the movie on KZbin

[@adamlouie1503]

I'm gonna go ahead and recommend Azrael. Dialogue-less survival/folk horror with Samara Weaving, directed by E. L. Katz

[@ImpressionBlend]

Definitely a fun movie with some crazy gore, wasn't expecting it to be that graphic

[@NN-df7hl]

Strange Darling was the grossest food prep scene ever (that Sunday breakfast!). Funny how heart-attack-inducing food can be more sickening than gore in a movie. Guess that was the whole point? ;)

[@mynock250]

Strange Darling wasn’t underrated it received a 99 out of 100, it was the highest rated movie on rotten tomatoes for 2024.

[@crystalshaw8744]

Milk and Serial is so good .

[@unchartedrocks1]

Humanist Vampire just sounds like Let the Right One In but eith a but more somber romance

[@robbiemoore5608]

Strange Darling is my favorite movie of the year right now, I've seen it twice and it gets better somehow.

[@mg-ThisHandleIsSoStupid]

OOOh, I forgot about Exhuma. I watched Red Rooms and liked it. Noy great but good. Only thing I wish there was somethign int he story as to why She did what She did. Was waiting for some connection to the killer or that whole thing, but nope. So no idea why She was doing what She was doing? But still enjoyed. Loved Oddity. Strange Darling - Hated. I am planning on watching Sleep tonight. that looks great.

[@JasenJohns]

Candy Land (2023) is preeeetty Horrific.

[@the_CineCita]

i'm curious why nobody mentions STRANGE DARLING'S subtext, which is pretty gross. [spoiler alert] it's subtext-- and the whole story is based around consent, and circles around to it several times-- is that women shouldn't be believed when they say they've been r^ped. not only does it come up in monologues, but the entire structure is about taking the audience's assumptions and using it against it. and it's consistent from start to finish. yes, it's an incredibly slick, beautifully made candy confection, but what's underneath? disgusting. i've seen the movie 3 times, hoping i was wrong, but every time i viewed it, it only became more clear, this was exactly want the movie had to say.

[@Sharpe1502]

Strange Darling is a movie that will not age well because apart from the great acting and good cinematography, it doesn’t have much more going for it. I sat with it and the more I think about it, the more I dislike it.

[@anthonydavella8350]

I must be the only one who didn’t think Strange Darling was all that good. It was good but not to the level I have seen many think it is. LongLegs was okay as well. Did not really like Terrifier 3, loved 2 and really like 1. Late Night w the Devil the best I have seen this year. Haven’t seen Smile 2 but hear great things from people I trust.

[@ulfingvar1]

Was Oddity really underrated? I believe it got some great reviews, and while not a bog B.O. draw, it has the "stamp" of cult classic.

[@Apostate_Alexei]

Guess why the spiders in Infested look so real... 😏

[@charliearblaster]

Hello there

[@independentRestorationServices]

It’s a great list, but underrated? Idk about that. Many of these movies are in the top 1-3 on people’s lists. Salt and Serial is pretty under the radar though, I’ll give you that one. What about Azrael? I just saw that and can’t believe more people are talking about it.

[@spacecow149]

no Imaginary and Night Swim???

[@Elephant2024]

Smile 2 is receiving a lot of positive buzz. Much more so than the Joker sequel. Never would have figured on that if making projections on which would be more successful.

[@AndreKP-nt1oz]

Oddity was pretty good

[@-iIIiiiiiIiiiiIIIiiIi-]

Oddity could have been a classic. It just missed the mark on the two setups and payoffs. So frustrating.
