Wow man. It was a surprizing to randomly come across the comment of one of my most fav creator on a favourite creator's channel.

[@Chuuzus]

people can say what they want about A24 but we can’t deny the impact Hereditary and Midsommar had on the horror genre in the 2010’s

[@thrawncaedusl717]

I mean, they’re great but The Babadook deserves the majority of the credit, followed by It Follows then The VVitch, then Hereditary.

[@temple5587]

@@RONTHEGOAT I mean The Babadook was the start of a lot of the mom-centric horror we received in the 2010's. Plus it kinda popularized the whole idea that most modern horror is really a representation of our mental anguish.

[@robk.6591]

I hated Midsommar.

[@SunnyMuffinsRox]

hereditary came out in 2018 though...

[@alexravella7849]

I think they’re so popular because I feel like A24 supports artists. They breathe new life back into Hollywood when it’s all hero films and remakes. I also like that they take risks. Some of those movies aren’t going to be major hits but that’s not the point the point is that there should be more people out there that are able to make movies and put them out there for the world to see.

I went to see X in theaters. The ticket guy said that it had gotten good reviews and so I was looking forward to it, and the creep factor turned up to a 10 when I was the only one in the theater. What I didn't expect was going on such a wild, erotic, nerve wracking, and tension building ride. The audio was so on point I thought their were people all around me. Looking forward to Pearl and MaXXXine!

[@bananafanafafootie2475]

I love seeing everybody's different opinions on A24 movies in the horror genre :D Although in my personal opinion, A24 horror is a hit or miss, I think that A24 is very successful in sparking dialogue and discussions between people.

[@mikaylamcfadden7866]

I like that they take risks. For a long time it felt like all horror was derivative or remakes. I’d rather someone try something different even if I didn’t like it

[@Nexils]

Looking at the video, I can't help but find it sad to see Climax so low. I loved that one. Meanwhile I do not like Midsommar at all, so... there you go for different opinions haha.

[@bish_puddin]

You can say anything is a hit or miss. As a whole, A24 movies just do it for me more than others. I love the gritty weirdness of some of these movies but that’s just because that’s the genre I’m drawn to. I’ve seen plenty of other weird independent horror films that weren’t distributed by A24 that I love but A24 just has the most since that’s what they cater in. I kinda look at Shudder in relation to A24 because I know I can go on there and find a movie that scratches my itch

[@jarredah]

Bodies Bodies Bodies is gonna be a tough one to rank. Because it doesn’t feel much like A24. It’s slightly artsy, but it’s also a solid good time and silly goofy fun. Loved it!

[@alexandergreatIII]

the twist ending is the best i’ve seen in a while. a very unique and funny ending AND a very freash take on the horror/slasher/whodunit genre

[@oatboylionel]

It’s a solid good time with a lot of subtle commentary on social media, gen z friendships, and toxic masculinity. Personally loved it

[@cydneyking7453]

Is it weird that when I think about the lighthouse I’m like “meh” but as I talk about it I get more and more enthusiastic about how much I loved it? It’s the lovecraftian madness that really got me I think.

i agree with you!

[@Ghostface1998]

X is still my favorite horror movie of the year. I’m so excited for Pearl cause I’m usually not that big on prequels (except Annabelle Creation fantastic movie that outshines the first one) but for this movie I’ll definitely take that prequel.

[@muffen5148]

X and Nope are so far it. The only one I’m still hyped about is maybe the new Evil Dead I think

It was my 3rd favorite movie of the year but I still loved X more cause it was more slasher focused than Pearl and it had Jenna Ortega in it overall it was a great movie and can’t wait to see Maxxxine since it’s started filming.

[@thehitherto5348]

Personally I think The Monster is one of the more underrated A24 films, but I can see why it isn't much talked about. Like you say - it's not the most typically A24'esque movie.

[@MadailinBurnhope]

I've sung that movie's praises for years, I love it

[@chaseraube-boyer7067]

I believe It Comes At Night would have been received much better if they hadn't marketed it the way they did. I know a lot of people, including myself, expected it to be more of a straightforward horror/thriller, possibly creature feature or paranormal-esque.

[@fliiguy247]

A24 is one of my favorite production companies, the company has literally made most of my favorite films in the last decade.

[@cunninghamfam4843]

I have watched Tusk once, awhile back and it still sticks with me as one of the most disturbing movies I’ve ever watched. In a negative way. I love horror but it made me physically sick and it’s a movie I can’t even think about. Maybe I’m alone on that, but something about it disturbed me in a really bad way and to this day, something not so pleasant happens to me even when I see a screenshot of the film. I wonder if anyone else feels this way. I LOVE your channel btw and I’m semi new here!

[@mackk4]

I feel the same way about that movie, I hate to think about because it’s so disturbing

[@jgarcia4721]

[@jaydescorner8401]

everyone i know told me not to watch it cause its so bad (i wasnt sure if they meant disturbing or just shit...) but i wanted to take a challenge, i was convinced i'd find a way to like this movie everyone else hates and then I started it one night and it was ok until the guy drugs him and he wakes up without his leg. I started getting so scared at the thought of being in a foreign place and not being able to escape. I went on my phone and let the rest play, then it got to when he was like...fully having his body restructured and...i had to turn it off it was so horrible

[@HorrorNorms]

[@PhantomOfTheHummus]

Hereditary is my favorite! The absolute dread that movie causes… Very solid list. And other than the ones I haven’t seen, I absolutely agree with the placement of everything. Killing of a Sacred Deer was an experience. I didn’t despise it but agree it was super pretentious. And I don’t know that I want to revisit it… 🧐

[@Sinister_Illusion]

This is the first I've seen of someone else disliking Killing of A Sacred Deer, and I honestly whole heartedly agree. It left such a bad taste in my mouth and it's so frustrating to me. I can also understand the distaste for The Lighthouse (though I personally love it).

[@brees3]

For Killing of a Sacred Deer, it's a movie I appreciated in its full context. But it was so far from a pleasant movie-going experience. Painful and pretentious I think are the two perfect words to describe it. Again, I appreciate that it exists, but I think it's a movie made almost exclusively for film school students.

[@bagandbroad]

Same. It’s weird, I can’t even remember much of what happened in it, just the misery of watching it.

I basically just refuse to give it a rating at all because I can't fault Lanthimos' directing but it's unnecessarily disturbing imo.

[@llywelyngruffydd8474]

I love what A24 does for the horror genre! They can mix horror, drama and arthouse in 1 movie like no other company can.

[@CeeProductions]

I don't mind the "artsy" style of A24 horror films. I feel like horror is very underappreciated when it comes to filmmaking. Not all horror is cheesy jump scares. They can have/be just as visually stunning, great story, great performances, just like the award winning dramas and musicals

I heard in the book the alien was actually shaped more canine-like and the process to fit her into a human form was extremely horrific.

[@Ralthy]

Under the skin is absolutely shyte as people with insomnia should be prescribed this movie, A24 is overrated, probably the pretty lady with pretty hair ,eyes & legs made people like the film when in fact they only liked her.

I seriously ADORE The Monster. I think it's such a well acted and emotional movie that doesn't get enough love, so I seriously appreciate you listing it as high as you did.

[@bri1474]

I'm appreciative for studios like A24 and Neon because when I watch films I want to watch something artistic, since film is an art form and that's why I watch it. So, being artsy fartsy isn't a negative to me. I do think, at times, A24 is a bit too on the nose with what it does, but we are in an era where we are mostly getting cbm, remakes, sequels, etc... There's hardly any original screenplays anymore, so I'll take artsy fartsy over that any day lol.

[@macijolene]

SAME

[@christyfielding7498]

I'm opposite really. I mean I enjoy and artsy movie on occasion but I watch movies to just have fun whether that's laughing or being scared. Not to say i don't like a good drama sometimes. I'm simple I guess

Film is an art form, therefore all films are forms of art. You don’t need to watch movies that people have categorized as artistic, in order for the movie to be good.

I LOVE Tusk, my nearly adult teenage son hated it; I can't even mention the title in front of him because he pictures the end and just wants to forget about it 😄 Other top A24 movies for me are Hereditary, Midsommar, and X. I also thought The Blackcoat's Daughter was good but not my favorite, I guess I was expecting a little more at the end. The VVitch wasn't for me but idk why. I do really want to see Green Room. These movies highly disturb me but psychological/elevated is the kind of horror I love the most, I'm a glutton for punishment I guess

[@adamant5550]

@@brees3 I tend to like transgressive and unconventional horror movies (i.e. Salo, Antichrist, Tetsuo, Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, etc.) that are more about atmosphere and mood as opposed to characters and narrative. I'd say Climax is easily the most disturbing movie I've seen in the last 10 years due to how unnerving and uncomfortable it makes you feel. You also need to go into these types of movies with the right mindset.

I understand why the lighthouse is in the bottom, I think we both share the same consensus that our expectations skewed our opinion, but what about the killing of a sacred deer put you off? The first time I saw it I was confused and unsure what to think of it but after seeing an explanation video I realized it was because I didn't understand it, same with Men, although I think scared deer is a better film overall. Also, A24 is mainly a distributor but they have also been producing more and more films lately. It comes at night, Hereditary, Midsommar, the lighthouse, X, Men, and False Positive were all produced by A24.

I wish I had understood it on my own, but seeing the explanation really made me love Enemy and see it as an amazing film. But even if I didn't understand it at first I was always interested in what was going on during the watch.

Thing is about Climax is that before all it is a Gaspar Noé movie, yeah it was produced by A24 this time but Gaspar always demands full freedom for his films, and it really just is a continuity of his filmography which isn't influenced by A24 at all imo, he did the "one shot/not hiring real actors/most of it being impro" in almost all of his films (dude is known for having like five pages of script and letting the actors do their thing aha) i'm a huge fan of his work and seen all his films, if anyone has any questions i'd be happy to talk :)) LOVED your tier list by the way ! i haven't seen every A24 movie so i find it's a good guide to decide which one to see next ahahaah

Midsommar was far more pretentious, imo. Edit: I didn't see it trying too hard to be weird. It's very passive-aggressive and uses imagery and allegories in a unique way. You do have to do some research on Greek mythology, though, to understand the ending.

Loved your rankings. My top tier is very close to yours. (With two notable exceptions)1 Midsommar. 2 Hereditary. 3 Under the Skin. 4 The VVitch. 5. The Lighthouse. 6 St Maud. 7 High Life. 8 Lamb. 9 The Blackcoat's Daughter. Gratitude.

[@heysideburns4839]

Hated Midsommar. Paper thin characters. Shallow surface level plot that thinks itself to be deep. Characters that make stupid choices that actual human beings would never make. “Surprising” “scares” that were neither of those. Florence Pugh is the only thing this film has going for it despite itself

[@shannonleigh10]

Although I do love The Lighthouse and Killing of a Sacred Deer 😬😬 I can understand the criticism for them, definitely an acquired taste. My favorites are of course Midsommar and Hereditary, then The Witch and Under the Skin. Also loooved Blackcoats Daughter, so underrated. Least favorites were probably It Comes At Night and The Monster. Haven’t seen Lamb yet!

[@bengisuerdem2798]

We actually have the same taste! Blackcoats's Daughter is criminally underrated.

[@celestialsaph6402]

I was *very* surprised that you liked Lamb, since I personally found that one to be even more on the artsy-fartsy side than The Lighthouse. But I totally agree that Green Room is fantastic, one of my faves for sure!

[@KingK65736]

My ranking is pretty much the same, X up one then fabric, climax, lamb down one. And i Thought Mother was A24

[@darmed1ads]

My top 5 1. Hereditary 2. Climax 3. The Lighthouse 4. Midsommar 5. Green Room

[@Espo2250]

you should consider modeling....you're gorgeous!!

Bad take here, but I didn't care for the Witch. The start of it establishes there is in fact a witch, and for almost the entire film she and the other one don't do much until the end of the film, can't grow crops, can't milk the animal, etc, I couldn't care less about it, I found it really boring if I'm being honest. What would have been more interesting to me is if it didn't establish her. Have some odd (but not outright paranormal) things happen, and the family start pointing fingers. I.e the husband may be doing it to toughen them all up, the wife may be doing it to make the husband put his pride aside and think he can't protect them so he would go back to the village to apologise. The daughter may be doing it cause she's about to be sold and she wants them to think they need a third adult around, maybe it really is a witch and she's pitting them all against one another, etc

The Witch and The Blackcoat’s Daughter are my favorites from A24, so I’m happy to see them on the top tier! I really, really liked Men up until that ending. I’m all for artsy fartsy and heavy allegorical tales, but… I gotta say that one really just went way off course. That all said though, Jessie Buckley and Rory Kinnear were absolutely fantastic with the material they were given!

[@ohpaperbacks5195]

As soon as I opened KZbin! I'm looking forward to this one

[@InsanityContainmentz]

Even though the killing of a sacred deer and climax are two of my favourite movies, and tusk is my all time least favourite movie, I’m not gonna judge you for your opinions, as I know those two movies aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, and if everyone had the same opinion life would be boring.

[@soniavelez1478]

Agree with you 100% about both Pattinson movies but you should give Good Time with Pattinson a chance it’s one of my favorite A24 movies. You could say it’s a solid good time 🥴

[@lemonsuckingandroid2971]

Yorgos Lanthimos is definitely one of those hit-or-miss filmmakers. Personally, I really like his works, but I understand where you're coming from with that TKOASD rant.

[@daviddiangellidaviddiangel1304]

Great video! Thanks for your interesting ranking. I agree with most of your thoughts on A24 movies. Thank you Sarah!

[@leonardo724]

I like your videos the best! Your reviews are always so good.

[@jalves6494]

The Witch & The Lighthouse aren’t just some of the best horror movies ever but they are 2 of the best movies ever period

[@onehandfencer3912]

I love The Lighthouse and The Killing of. I love all three films by Yorgos Lanthimos. The Lobster, The Killing and The Favourite. ALL OF THEM EXCELLENT.

[@randomdude_2000]

Great list! I had no idea so many great films were from this studio. Ive seen just about all these movies but had totally forgotten about green room, tusk and under the skin which all were very disturbing. Agree with your ranking of the lighthouse, they really do make movies you either love or hate. That scene in the green room where they are cutting the guys hand to get the gun left me traumatised for days and i think my brain has tried to block it all out for years lol

[@LuciaBellanger95]

I loved killing of a sacred deer!! It made me so anxious all the way through the suspense was so good and I love yorgos lanthimos' dialogue

[@deadheadej]

Finally! Someone who agrees with me on the Blackcoats Daughter. Easy Subscribe. Enjoyed the video

[@amandagracew]

My jaw hit the floor when you placed The Killing of a Sacred Deer!!!

[@eliasreuter-grelak164]

The Lighthouse is one of my all time favourite movies, I'm so in love with it but it saddens me that you apparently got so much heat for it. Good for you for speaking your mind tho!

[@SEAKPhotog]

I actually hated Midsommar (I'd put it in the Pretentious category) and loved the Lighthouse (altho I completely understand why you feel the way you do about it). Of the A24 movies I've seen, I agree with the rest of your rankings.👍🏻

[@shonna_77]

I'm totally with you on "The Lighthouse". I thought the writing and acting were genius, but found it an unpleasant watching experience, like that movie made me feel bad. "The Killing of a Sacred Deer" is one of my favourite movies ever though 🤷🏻‍♀️ I recently watched (and loved!!) "Resurrection" and found it quite reminiscent of "...Sacred Deer". Also, I watched "It Comes At Night" both pre- and post- pandemie and it totally hit different. Love yr. channel 💕

[@AndSoGoes]

Broke my poor, ginger heart when you ranked The Killing of a Sacred Deer...
