Best Horror Movies of 2024: Top User Picks
The best horror movies of 2024, according to users, are The Substance, Late Night With The Devil, and Alien: Romulus. Longlegs and The First Omen also came up repeatedly as strong contenders in the same discussions. The Substance was named by some users as their favorite movie of the entire year. Late Night With The Devil stood out for its unique presentation and realistic feel, with one user calling it the first movie in a while that genuinely creeped them out. Alien: Romulus drew praise for being highly immersive with an incredible score, and some users rank it among the best entries in the Alien franchise. Beyond the top three, The First Omen impressed a horror viewer of over three decades who called it one of the best prequels they had ever seen, with great writing. Oddity was credited with the best jump scares of the year, and Abigail delivered a fun, well-executed vampire movie with horror-comedy elements. Two films drew warnings instead: some users felt Longlegs was overhyped and unremarkable despite Nicolas Cage's performance, and Night Swim was widely considered a major disappointment.
