THE WORST HORROR MOVIES OF 2024 Tier Ranking | Spookyastronauts

Well said! That’s why I watch Emma on the regular 👍

[@polymphus]

to be entirely fair to AMFAD, putting a famous person's name prominently on the posters then having them killed off in the first 10 minutes is a slasher classic, that's what the original Scream did with Drew Barrymore and it was genuinely shocking at the time because all the marketing made it seem like she was the main character, and before the internet really went mainstream there was no easy way to find out otherwise. (yes I'm old)

[@Oviiiiiiiiiii]

I wish they just went crazy with tarot and went all in with some gore and blood. It would’ve been fun to watch that cause the entities were kinda creepy.

[@j.r.cilliangreen4083]

Disney's Smart House did Afraid better

[@KaguyaHimex]

I talked about this with my boyfriend because we watch your videos together, and I think the “obnoxious cast of characters so you cheer when the slasher gets them” AMFAD approach fundamentally misses that a 1 minute cathartic death scene isn’t going to make up that we had to spend 30-45 minutes with intentionally unlikable characters beforehand 😭 If the first act of your movie loses me (or worse, antagonizes me with unlikable losers) there’s very, very little you can do as a filmmaker to win me back!

[@spookyastronauts]

I'm glad i wasn't the only one that thought Baghead (which is a derogatory UK slang word for a heroin user) was mid. It had so much potential but was a disappointment. I think you should do a turkey iceberg. Each tier has bad movies but as you go further the worse they get The last tier has the ultimate turkey of all time.

[@satchelmcguire3425]

A note about time cut: the plot sounds nearly identical to an anime which was also made into a live action called Erased, where a man gets sent back in time to before a classmate was killed. So I think the unoriginality is frustrating.

[@Stefan-oj6oz]

[@PixieLovesItAll]

This just made me realize how bad I feel for the actors who worked on Blumhouse productions that came out this year and late last year, because the downturn in quality films from Blum was around when they signed onto and started filming their movies. Like, of course there were mid entries coming out of Blumhouse as a company before, but there was no way to anticipate something this bad just from concepts and sample scripts. Like they all probably thought they were signing onto movies like Insidious, The Purge, Paranormal Activity, Flanagan's early works (each having unique characteristics that would help a career evolve through horror). Now they have these stinkers on their rep and there was no way to anticipate it :(

[@jeremiahisrael673]

Wow new sub here! What mic and camera do you use? Looks and sounds incredible

[@ToniMcGinty]

I loved The Exorcism. I think the "exorcism" itself was Joshua Miller exorcising his own demons. But I don't think it works without this knowledge. I left the cinema kind of overwhelmed, but, at the same time, totally understood the "just out for a Friday night flick" crowd in the hall with me, who were vocally upset with the movie as we left.

[@rebeccawebber]

if prey had been cujo but with lions and a safari jeep that sounds like an amazing premise

[@RavenHouseMystery]

"Premise Great, Delivery Bad" is a good representation of my movie watching experience. I think I have lost track of all the films I've seen this year that caught my attention and didn't deliver. One great example was "Night Swim". I so wanted to like that film, because the short film it was based on was so good. It just goes to show you how hard it can be to take a scary encounter and try to expand the lore into a solid horror film. We seemed also to have suffered through the "celebrity" endorsement of bad films with "#AMFAD" and "Devon". I'm glad I missed some of the films on the list, but that didn't stop me from seeing my worst film of the year "Wicked Little Letters". I got conned into seeing "The Love Letter" in 1999 by its deceptive trailer and I went through the same thing again this year with "Wicked Little Letters".

[@pdzombie1906]

[@marcoantoniomarquezperez2652]

💩 definitely still here. I agree with most of these movies. These three were my biggest disappointments of the year. That Micky's Trap was one of my most anticipated and it was pure WTF from beginning to end. I really hope some one out there makes a better Steam Boat Micky Horror movie for that new Disney Horror Universe. Tarot was another one. I loved the mythology behind all the entities, but the deaths were not executed well. Also I cared little for the victims. last ,but not least Baghead. Loved the look of the movie. The idea behind the creature, the look of the building, but the movie was just not executed well. Than there's The Exorcism. This movie should have been awesome because of the backstory to Jason Miller's actual experience while filming the original Exorcist, but what did we get instead. Over 5 minutes of watching Russell Crow bend backwards , and that is just not anything I ever sked for. .

[@dezthereader3006]

Agree with you on Time Cut, I had a lot of fun with it

Little correction. The crooked man was from the conjuring, not insidious. Understand the slip up lol they’re kind of similar

💩 howdy i’m still here !! love ur vids so much

[@reelqueer]

💩 - it feels wrong to leave that 😂 I thought Tarot was a ton of fun. I understand why it’s poorly received, but the predictability of these types of horror movies always entertain me. The Front Room was an interesting one. We say, “why can’t I dieeeee” and “m e double s” a lot in my house. Winnie the Pooh wasn’t as campy as I hoped and took on a storyline that felt super serious and unearned. I just wanted mess! That has been my least favorite watch this year. Thanks for another great, and even interactive, video! Loving hearing your opinions.

[@nightflyer777]

Slight correction; the Crooked Man was from The Conjuring 2, not Insidious.

[@breakingoblivion]

i actually really liked #AMFAD, i won’t lie. i thought it it was silly and fun and didn’t take itself super seriously, plus i loved the kills.

You know what Imaginary reminded me of? A bigger budget version of the Disney Channel Movie “Don’t Look Under the Bed”. It has a lot of the same ideas. However, Don’t Look Under the Bed is way better, haha.

[@mathewb5020]

I think you may have missed a few key details from the movie "Afraid." The A.I. arranged for the vigilante's daughter to be kidnapped, and then instructed them to break into the house. The horror is also a little abstract as the A.I. is benevolent, wants to take care of people, and will do whatever it deems best to take care of them. Compounding that, the A.I. appears to have access to public and private computer systems, allowing it to alter a persons records.

[@tiagopinto7809]

Love your channel. In my opinion i would change 2 movies positions. I would put " The Crow" in Boring (not even comparing with the original) because it's a movie with no saving grace. I would put "The exorcism" on the top list, it's not a good delivery by any way but it is not that bad. I agree that "The front room" should not be on that list.

[@dontheador6649]

Excellent list as always! Tbh, I thought afAId was pretty good. Some unexpected stuff happened, and they didn't fully delve into it, but I though AIa's solution for us as a race was very interesting and you don't see or expect that from sentient AI in movies. I also thought that the Front Room was silly fun and I've never stop calling my gal Belinda "BELINDURR" for the rest of my life lol. I'd rank it under fun. I agree with you on the Megan Fox AI movie... I could definitely see an android or whatever looking like that (in a good way). What really surprised me though were her abs! She never looked better physically (It's like she lived at the gym). And that was definitely a good time at least for a couple cheap thrills, and Megan does a great job! Otherwise, spot on! Big Fan Love from the States!

Bagman is a really goofy movie, with an awful "entity" But i do think it deserves to be in the "good premise. Bad delivery" As someone who still has several beloved childhood toys and teddies, some i passed on to my own kids, my most loved are displayed in my room. I, personally, dont understand how people can completely give away evey singl3 item from their childhood. Especially things like dolls, which, at one point in your life, you thought of as an actual sentient being. I have one of those giant "walk with me" dolls, i lovingly named Natalie. I change her clothes for the various holidays, i have a couple of wigs i like to interchange for her. I still treat her like a living thing 😂 in contrast to this, my husband hates Natalie 😂 she scares the heck out of him and hes much more of the opinion that you should let go of such childhood things (with the exception of a stuff monkey he still has). Bagman is a great movie for us to watch toge5her.
