The Best HORROR Movies of 2024

[@k4yser]

I love your channel man. Everytime you introduced me to a lot of movies i haven't heard or overlooked before and everytime you have a list, there is plenty for me to discover. Hidden Gem.

[@TheHauntedBeard]

Awesome and thank you!

[@gregg3744]

Soo happy seeing the love for Longlegs. Easily the most afraid I’ve been in a movie theatre in years and it’s my #1 of 2024!

[@ryancarnduff3751]

Great list, man! I think this year the horror community got spoiled by both quality and quantity of films. I like how many hidden gems you featured on this list that I haven’t seen yet, so thank you for that! I also appreciate the variety of films you included, not just the strictly traditional horror genre movies, but films that are adjacent to horror. Wonderful work! Looking forward to checking those out!

[@TheHauntedBeard]

@@ryancarnduff3751 thanks a lot!

[@crystalshaw8744]

Groovy!! I loved Caddo Lake. So, underrated.

[@SevereCake]

2nd Comment: Just saw "Last Stop in Yuma County". Never heard of it before your vid. Such a simple plot, but GREAT. Going through others soon. Thanks!

[@marcosapo]

Great list. It's worth it!

[@MadBloodMatt]

Great stuff man!

[@TheHauntedBeard]

@@MadBloodMatt thanks dude!

[@halloweenfriday]

I always appreciate a list that has Nosferatu, Longlegs and The Substance in the top 3. Excellent list!

[@Cosmicwolf_3780]

Good list bro! I agree with you on several of these movies. Personally the best and my favorite horror of 2024 is Stopmotion. I know it is from 2023 but the main release on theaters was on early 2024, so… I really enjoyed this film! It made me feel very interesting things, also I find it thought provoking and very artistic, in my opinion. The stop motion animation is pretty amazing! And the main actress was incredible! ❤ But anyway… cool video! Cheers man!

great list! thanks for sharing!

[@therhapsodist976]

Solid list, bro.

[@juanizquierdo1737]

Great list. I also never jump during a jump scare, but Oddity got me. LOL

[@chuckkoehler9526]

Movies I Kind of Ranked (hard to do): The Substance Smile 2 Nosferatu LongLegs Heretic You'll Never Find Me - Intense and I Loved It! Love Lies Bleeding Violett (recommended from a different 2024 best of horror KZbin channel)- Loved It! Strange Darling Stop Motion Abigail The First Omen (wanted more action/horror sequences and less story) Late Night with the Devil (wanted more action/horror sequences) Terrifier 3 Azrael MadS Cold Meat Low-Budget: (French-Canadian> Red Rooms and Humanist Vampire ...., Last Straw and the Last Stop in Yuma County Still to Watch: Alien-Romulus, Infested, Coffee Table, Cuckoo...

[@TheHauntedBeard]

@@chuckkoehler9526 thanks for sharing. Violett looks interesting.

[@DiosLab]

2024 was an amazing year for horror

[@randallmcvey2883]

Great content!!!!

[@DookieMcPoo]

Happy new year Beard, keep on haunting! 🎉

[@TheHauntedBeard]

@@DookieMcPoo happy new year! 👻

[@du.schneider]

Heretic is my no 1. I love psychological horror and the conversations were so interesting and engaging. The tension of the "wife" that there was always an excuse not to show up...

[@rickyshah86]

nice video man! thanks and Happy new year!

[@TheHauntedBeard]

@@rickyshah86 happy new year!

[@kkarx]

My top list: 1. The Soul Eater - I loved this one little known French mystery horror. Imagine something like The Crimson Rivers or Insomnia 2. Red Rooms - minimalistic thriller/horror with top notch direction 3. Late Night with the Devil - amazing acting, great screenplay Then I liked Longlegs, Smile 2 and Oddity but I guess there are some obscure movies that I would like even more.

[@alexanderulv3886]

Did you watch Immaculate and The first omen?

[@TheHauntedBeard]

@@kkarx haven’t heard of the soul eater. Gonna have to check it out. Thanks!

[@kkarx]

@@alexanderulv3886 Yes I watched them, pretty much standard Omen like stuff without being as good as the original trilogy.

[@kkarx]

@@TheHauntedBeard Def check it. You will be shocked how good it is!

[@Cosmicwolf_3780]

Omg! I love the crimson rivers!!! So I will definitely check the soul eater out! Thanks ❤

[@clash79]

I feel like Late Night With The Devil is still underrated. I know it's not as hard hitting as we like as horror fans, but I think it's insane originality, and fantastic performances...feel like a movie that holds up for years to come. The Substance is definitely #1, I'm with ya there. Haven't seen Nosferatu yet, but those two seem to be battling it out for top spot. What a crazy great year for horror! It's getting too big, and too well done, for the old fucks at The Academy to ignore any longer

[@TheHauntedBeard]

haha yea it would be nice if the academy would start acknowledging horror, although I gave up on them a long time ago.

[@clash79]

@@TheHauntedBeard With good reason. But horror keeps getting better, and more respectable. Change is slow when you have a lot of old fucks controlling things, but it happens regardless

[@therhapsodist976]

Strange Darling is a beautiful subversion of expectations.

[@therhapsodist976]

Lowlifes is definitely a flick I need to revisit; very cool and unpredictable.

[@brooksploskina5161]

If you haven’t seen The Coffee Table, you need to see it. It’s my #1 movie of the year. Blew me away!

[@therhapsodist976]

Finally, someone else is talking about I Saw The TV Glow! This one of my biggest surprises this year. Kudos!

[@bo2720]

Just watched Lowlifes. Honestly in my top 5 horror of the year easy

[@sgfredbear8114]

My 10 favorite horror movie in 2024 is probably, 1. Nosferatu 2. Smile 2 3. Oddity 4. Alien Romulus 5. in a Violent Nature 6. Longlegs 7. the First Omen 8. Infested/Vermines 9. Horror in the High Desert Firewatch 10. Daddy's Head

[@TheHauntedBeard]

Nice to see horror in the high desert

[@sgfredbear8114]

@@TheHauntedBeard Yeah, I really like this Mockumentary, And surprisingly out of all the title I put on the list this was the only movie that genuinely scare me. I also quite surprised by how well the mockumentary hold it's feel throughout all the title, usually in any other titles I've followed they tend to gradually lose itself, or just straight up going of the rail.

[@therhapsodist976]

I've seen The Substance three times, the most recent revisit being last night for a watch party; it's a bona fide body horror gem. I'm proud to have it in my collection.

[@ColbsPress23]

Low Life’s is soo good.

[@zephthisatrip]

1. The Substance 2. Strange Darling 3. Mads 4. The First Omen 5. Daddys Head Haven't seen Nosferatu yet

[@alexanderulv3886]

Mads and Daddy’s head are some sleeper hits!

[@flyhighlowflow]

Red Rooms is Canadian, just in case * Very cool list. Thank you!

[@TheHauntedBeard]

@@flyhighlowflow thanks

[@teegee9330]

Red Rooms is tied with the Substance for my favorite of 2024 (though it was released in 2023 in Canada apparently)

[@flyhighlowflow]

@@teegee9330 yeah, for me Red Rooms would even rank much higher on the list. Of course, Substance is more grandiose, but Red Rooms just digs deeper into my soul, idk

[@therhapsodist976]

The First Omen left me wanting The Second Omen; so many possibilities here.

[@therhapsodist976]

LONGLEGS never lessens in tension from start to finish; chilling, really chilling.

[@nadinecandy8712]

1. Thanksgiving, 2. Substance, 3. Alien

[@therhapsodist976]

I need to watch Oddity again. I bought it blind, and I wasn't sure why it's getting as much love as LONGLEGS.

[@therhapsodist976]

Late Night With The Devil stands as my favorite 2024 movie, and it may have even cracked my top 10 of all time.

[@rogdawg123]

my top 10 horror movies of 2024 are : 10. mads 9. 1st omen 8. strange darling 7. in a violent nature 6. azrael 5. exhuma 4. alien romulus 3. oddity 2. smile 2 1. the substance

[@TheHauntedBeard]

@@rogdawg123 right on!

[@therhapsodist976]

Alien: Romulus is a tremendous return to form, picking up with Where Alien and Aliens left off.

[@therhapsodist976]

Abigail was a lot of fun, thanks mostly to the character interactions, and blood combustion.

[@whyarewealwaysyelling]

I learned from watching your video that they've already made 3 Quiet Place movies

[@mrkos87]

Horror in the High Desert Firewatch has a 1,9 out of 5 on a movie website here in The Netherlands.. I like to try it, but this number is not very reassuring haha. Most of the time i skip those movies. Anyway, nice list.

[@therhapsodist976]

Furiosa was a lot of fun, but I haven't been compelled to return to it; maybe someday.

[@amy_yoshikawa]

Smile 2 is my no.1

[@therhapsodist976]

Terrifier 3 continues to prove that Art The Clown may be the greatest slasher of all time; he's most definitely Mount Slash More material.

[@therhapsodist976]

I'm still digesting Nosferatu, but I must say that it's a ginormous feat of gothic filmmaking.

[@SevereCake]

Ranking VHS Beyond so high (ESPECIALLY over Oddity / Late Night with Devil) is a war crime. The Bollywood dance and Dog parts were terrible 😱. I appreciate the list though.

[@TheHauntedBeard]

@@SevereCake haha thanks. I agree the Bollywood segment was terrible. I just enjoyed live and let dive and the stowaway so much

[@brooksploskina5161]

I loved all of the segments haha. Bollywood was awesome imo

[@SevereCake]

@brooksploskina5161 😱

[@therhapsodist976]

I still have yet to finish Azrael; it seemed decent enough for the first half, but my verdict is out as of now.

[@therhapsodist976]

Smile 2 coulda been a soulless cash grab, and I'm so grateful that it wasn't!

[@leannsfearcocktail9420]

I’m looking for some good horror movies to distract me from the living nightmare I’m in… I live in Santa Monica and had to evacuate my home. I desperately need a distraction.

[@TheHauntedBeard]

@@leannsfearcocktail9420 I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I hope you find something good to watch.

[@samtan4729]

No love for Exhuma?

[@TheHauntedBeard]

I have a review for it but I wasn’t as high on it as most seemed to be

[@therhapsodist976]

Cuckoo is really weird. I dig it; hell, I own it, but I don't know if I really understand it.

[@smudge7057]

Furiosa a horror movie?

[@michaels9483]

Wonderful list!...would definitely add Stopmotion in there

[@EpictasticJoshua]

1. Longlegs 2. Alien Romulus 3. The Substance 4. Nosferatu 5. Lisa Frankenstein 6. Immaculate 7. Heretic 8. Abigail 9. Late Night With the Devil 10. Salem's Lot

[@clash79]

As an atheist, I loved all the facts Hugh Grant presented to his visitors. Obviously, I don't condone his other actions, but then again it was THEM that came to his home, instead of minding their own damn business. I think there's a pretty good lesson in that. Religious folks have a whole problem with minding their own damn business, especially when it comes to politics and lawmaking . Heretic A+

[@TheHauntedBeard]

Not an atheist myself, and some of what Grant says in the movie is misinformation, but it's cool that we can both still enjoy the movie.

[@clash79]

@@TheHauntedBeard I was referring to the history of religions portion. What part of that was misinformation?

[@therhapsodist976]

MaXXXine has grown on me upon subsequent revisits, but I was kinda let down by my own anticipation for it.
