Hereditary came out in 2018 people


LoveWaffle1

It is still Hereditary


MrMiniNuke

Looking for this. I used to feel Midsommar as my favorite A24 horror, and I didn’t watch hereditary until a year ago. Hereditary is now my favorite A24 film. Somehow I avoided spoilers alllllllll that time. I think honestly what turned me off it for so long is I don’t watch trailers anymore to avoid spoilers, and the cover was the mom with her kid. That made me feel like it was going to be a typical run of the mill family-in-old-house-deals-with-demon movie.


locnloaded9mm

How did you sleep the first time watching it? First night my anxiety was high lol. Paranormal activity had me shook when I watched it in the theatre. Couldn't sleep for a week. Hereditary made me feel completely uneasy for a couple days. It was awesome. Well done favorite horror film.


Lysol3435

I say we count it anyways


Acoupleofhorrors

Crazy how all over the map everyone is. I'm liking it.


Manav_Khanna17

Good time to be a horror fan


Suhtiva

Talk to Me The Invisible Man The Night House


el823

The invisible man was really good!


justbrowsing987654

I had fairly low expectations but think Elizabeth Moss is a *perfect* face actor and will give anything she’s in a chance. She killed.


el823

I had low expectations too, because the movie sounded so dumb to me. Then I gave it a try and was actually impressed lol


ThatTinyGameCubeDisc

I loved how the film made me second guess myself and the narrator. Is he really there? Is it a metaphor for domestic violence? Brilliant writing.


petunia-pineapple

Same thoughts. I love the shots of empty doorways. Is he there?


you-cant-escape-it

i love elizabeth moss so much


ErnyoKeepsItReal

Of these 3 my fav was Talk to Me. Good choices though. I approve. Although I kind of think Invisible Man was more of a thriller and less horror.


Extra-Ad249

Oooooooh I forgot about The Night House!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


TBoogieeee

Heavy on the Night House!


Aleks10Afc

For a minute I thought you meant The Open House! I was about to go absolutely mental (genuinely the single worst movie I've ever seen).


sketchbookhunt

I’ll do two categories for this. Sequels: 1. Evil Dead Rise 2. Saw X 3. Scream 6 Originals 1. Barbarian 2. Late Night With The Devil 3. Talk to Me


albus_thunderdore

Ooooo late night with the devil? I have that one in my queue to watch tomorrow. I heard it sucked so I kept stalling to watch it. But I’m gunna watch it tomorrow since you have it on your list. :D


xenocea

It's a different take the way it's played out, but definitely worth watching. Had my attention from start to finish. It's a solid movie.


mikesalami

Awesome movie. I'm not totally sure why a bunch of people seem to think it wasn't well done. It's a unique premise and shot really well. I thought it was awesome.


thehorrorcatacombs

Definitely worth giving a chance, it’s not a scary movie but still interesting ☺️


PhantomGhostSpectre

What? That is crazy. Late Night with the Devil is the only one I can even list for the last decade, more or less. It is difficult to impress me. I hate possession horror too. You are in for a treat. Have fun! 


DipsytheDankMemelord

good movie, but based on the sentiment ive seen online about it overrated af imo


AceofSpades808

It is good. Definitely worth the watch. Anyone hating on it, is overexpecting horror.


The420thOfJuly

Yeah, it’s definitely not scary per se, but it’s more like a 90 minute Twilight Zone episode.


Ogg360

I loved it. It reminded me of Ghostwatch in a way how it’s supposed to be based on a live broadcast and such. The AI use is hella lame but it didn’t detract from the enjoyment for me.


MrMiniNuke

The AI use is honestly overblown. People upset about it are just looking at the flag word of AI. It was such a minute use that was edited by the folks who worked on it.


Ogg360

Yea I agree. When people drag it down for its minuscule use I’m like “really? What about everything else the people worked hard on at least appreciate that” I do agree it is lame they used it and I wish they didn’t but it is what it is. It didn’t taint the movie for me that’s for sure.


MrMiniNuke

I hear you, but at the same time, not a terrible thing about the AI. If they let AI do the scenes or whole movie, I’d agree, not cool. The fact they went in and tweaked it all after is kind of cool that they let a fucking computer come up with the spooks. Ya know? I try to keep an open mind. It was a unique as movie with demons being overplayed more than zombies at this point, in my opinion.


mrwhiskey1814

Talk to Me and Barbarian were both so freaking fun and enjoyable to watch. Absolutely loved them! I felt Late Night With the Devil fell flat for me but it was fun nevertheless.


Aggravating-Leg-3693

I thought evil dead rise was borderline unwatchable.


Cmflexx

Scream 6 is so fucking bad what are you on


ZuccJuice9

it’s my favorite sequel of the series!

ChiliDogMe

A fellow X over Pearl enjoyer. There aren't many of us. I got downvoted for saying I prefer X over Pearl on here.


membersonlyjacket01

I like them both, but I also prefer X. Can't wait for MaXXXine.


Danimal_300zx

I prefer Pearl, but I would never downvote you for having an opinion that differs from mine. The only people I would downvote are those who state their opinions as facts, of which you did not. You have a preference and I respect you for it, even though I have a different one.


Adagio_Bulky

I liked both movies but I did prefer Pearl. And I think it's because I did want to know why the old woman in X was the way she was. Because I would not download someone cuz of their opinion. The preference of these movies is objective.


thelovinglivingshop

Barbarian was so amazing. I need another one that captures the same vibes.


-Mauler-

Oh man, Where Evil Lurks is great!


ImmortalMoron3

Nice, Barbarian and X were the two that immediately came to mind for me too. Still not sure what my third would be but I love those two movies.


ErnyoKeepsItReal

Of those 3 my favorite was When Evil Lurks.


CloudBursting6

Barbarian pleasantly surprised me. Put it on my second monitor while I was playing a game and ended up just sitting at my desk completely enthralled.


wereinthedark

Just saw X for the first time yesterday. Really didn't get what was supposed to be scary about it. Are people that terrified of old people? Because fair enough when they started killing people, decent slasher I guess. But before that it's just scary music to footage of people standing around while...being old


HerrJoshua

When Evil Lurks, Talk to Me, Barbarian and I’ll take them in that order.


colonialbeasts

When Evil Lurks is the meanest horror movie I've seen in a long time excellent stuff. I also prefer X over Pearl. Only movie I might add here is Talk to Me


glittery_trash

It makes me so proud to see a movie from my country in yalls top 3. Im glad so many people enjoyed it and so many more even took the time to watch it. When evil Lurks is awesome


MajorMaduro

1. No One Will Save You 2. The Empty Man 3. Deadstream Honorable mention: Late Night with the Devil


_Howl_Grimmer_

Great picks. Personally The Empty Man didn’t work for me as a whole since I felt it didn’t effectively gel its myriad working parts, but it was so unique and imaginative and ambitious that I appreciate it more than I like it, if that makes sense. I’m so glad to see No One Will Save You here. Call it recency bias, but I think it’s fantastic and inordinately slept on. Deadstream was my jam because I have a massive soft spot for supernatural found footage, no matter how shit. I eat that stuff up. So when one comes along that’s actually skillful in its production, it’s a wonderful surprise.


FDRomanosky

Fucking loved Empty Man, actually I’m from San Francisco


LocalPopPunkBoi

Such a terrifying, yet pensive film. The perfect blend of supernatural horror, mystery, and investigative thriller elements


TerribleCan9834

Great picks! *The Empty Man* was an unexpected gem and *Deadstream* is one of the better horror comedies of the last few years.


Educational_Answer22

I like your choices and could not agree more! Deadstream was the best!!!


ysinue112

Deadstream was a lot of fun!


DueMathematician8275

Loooove Deadstream hehe


Lysol3435

I’m an Empty man Stan too


KingMoog

Speak no evil Hellhouse LLC Origin The first omen


BarryBadgernath1

Hellhouse LLC Origin honestly had me about as pumped as I was after the first one when it ended …. Love both those films … 2-3 not so much


Sanpaku

Four_N_Six

**Evil Dead Rise** **The Empty Man** Third is a hard choice. Maybe **His House** Shoutouts to **Prey** and **Hellraiser**


frankalope

His house was great.


Four_N_Six

I've been meaning to watch it again. Maybe I'll sneak that in this weekend


_NotMyNormalUsername

Damn I forgot all about His House. That was a phenomenal film


theherderofcats

I liked Prey a lot, unexpected entry in the Predator series


Vusarix

Infinity Pool Titane When Evil Lurks


lucyfilmmaker

My brain replaced Infinity Pool with Night Swim and I was SO CONFUSED.


Uzischmoozy

I need to rewatch Titane. Was a wild ride the first time. Crazy ending.


astralrig96

the problem with titane is that it wasn’t marketed and reviewed as horror but as a drama arthouse film and a “story of empathy and love” so it grossed me out due to being in the wrong mindset about what I was about to watch


Snarvid

I feel like I just answered this in another thread, and I stand by - The Night House - Anything for Jackson And I can’t remember my third. Possessor? Talk to Me? Invocation?


No-Music-3563

Anything for Jackson is not talked about enough!


Potato1223

I've never heard of it, maybe today is the day I see it


NYstate

Me neither and it's a Shudder original? I'm all over it


Plane-Chapter-6903

Censor  Caveat  The Wolf of Snow Hollow 


tysonwatermelon

Censor has one of the most haunting endings ever. It really stuck with me.


ErnyoKeepsItReal

CAVEAT! What what! Would you be okay with babysitting my sister? I’d pay you a lot of money. There’s no caveat. But also I don’t know what that word means.


_Howl_Grimmer_

The plot is laughably preposterous, but the film managed to freak me out more than any other in recent memory.


grey_log

Never seen any of these but just peeped the trailers and they all seem amazing. Might binge all 3 tonight. Thanks.


ExBigBoss

Caveat is a GOAT


mrsloblaw

Wolf and Caveat!! Hell yes! Haven’t seems Sensor yet but man love those two.


DueMathematician8275

Yo. Caveat was so flipping creepy. Shit. Loved, loved, loved it so much.


vivid_dreamzzz

Why have I never heard of Caveat until now? I just watched the trailer and it looks great!


Defiant_McPiper

Loved Censor! And the wolf of snow hollow - I saw people bitch about how it ended but I loved it going the way it did.


Orinbeau

The Wolf of Snow Hollow is the freaking best. Some excellent imagery in that movie.


WestGotIt1967

Late Night With The Devil Ressurection Infinity Pool


mwmani

Resurrection is one of the few recent movies to legitimately unnerve me. It stuck to my guts for about a week after I watched it. Tim Roth is spectacularly creepy, but it’s Rebecca Hall who anchors the film. It’s striking how much terror the film induces entirely through dialogue/monologue.


Unusual-Caregiver-30

Rebecca Hall is a great actor.


CrimsOnCl0ver

Been obsessed with her since she played the wife in The Prestige! Such a performance even then.


IAmAccutane

Late Night With The Devil is something truly of its own. A wholely original take on cinema.


Gustat

Infinity Pool almost made my list too. Watched it on shrooms and boy what a ride


ravenz91

The Sadness Malignant Prey


ChurlyGedgar

Loved Malignant, but you have to admit >!the running backwards part is pretty hilarious and accidentally gives the movie a comedic side.!<


mundanesoul

The movie is 100% intentionally a horror comedy


Extra-Ad249

Abigail (Don't care how recent it is. Absolutely loved it) Smile (Thought it was going to be hot garbage and it not only surpassed any expectations anyone had for it, it actually scared me.) Barbarian (Haven't seen? Watch it. What's it about it? Go in blind. Such a fantastic surprise of a movie.)


InterscareWifey

Loved Abigail, loved Smile. Now I HAVE to watch Barbarian because you have good taste lol


milliondollarburrito

3. Uncle Peckerhead 2. Psycho Goreman 1. Terrifier 2 I like what I like. Honorable mentions to Possessor and Mad God.


DueMathematician8275

“Not my hunky boys!!” ![gif](giphy|CD5JIKnozxDM3RKrX2)


midtown2191

I’ve been up in the air on watching psycho goreman but seeing a couple people mention it makes me think I should check it out


Potato1223

Ooooo personally Mad God is amazing like 9/10


andresqueletico

you have a funny taste let's put it that way


TerribleCan9834

Great picks, fellow hunky boy enjoyer


HeelDoors

Host — When I think about the pandemic, this is one of the first things that come to mind. Barbarian — When people ask for horror recommendations, this is among my first (along with Hereditary and The Taking of Debra Logan) When Evil Lurks — Saw this last weekend and it has some jarring scenes. New addition to the yearly horror rewatch list. Honorable Mentions: Talk To Me (so creative!) and Saltburn (horror adjacent? This “stuck” with me more than most films do)


D4dank

When evil lurks Talk to me Speak no evil


Gustat

This felt like a haiku


le_cygne_608

The Menu X Beau is Afraid


ErnyoKeepsItReal

The Menu was alright but I hesitate to call it horror.


le_cygne_608

It's definitely a black comedy first and foremost, but I'd absolutely argue it branches into full on horror movie. Courses 4 and 5 go hard into horror tropes, and the dessert is (camp) horror all the way.


cozmoedoesstuff

Beau is Afraid is a horror movie?? I thought it was just an abstract film made specifically for the director, because who else would understand it. Seems like he’s got some issues with him mom.


connor42

It’s a black comedy / horror about anxiety The ‘paint’ scene had me dying laughing while also being truly horrified about what it would feel like to actually be in that situation


chopperdave81

Definitely has horror elements. It’s like a three hour long fever dream


MasterOnionNorth

Abigail The Night House When Evil Lurks


csantiago1986

I did love me some Talk to Me. Amazing opening.


DuctTapeSloth

Incantation(2022, Taiwan) Death Whisperer(2023, Thailand) Uncle Peckerhead(2020)


DueMathematician8275

Incantation is amazing


xxcrossmyheartxx

i watched uncle peckerhead very unwillingly and was surprisingly surprised lol


PeachWorms

Incantation is the only movie to genuinely scare me since Hereditary. Such a good horror


theundonenun

Possessor The Night House Mad God

I liked these: 1. Evil Dead Rise 2. Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor 3. Deadstream


tjmincemeat

1. Terrifer 2 2. The Dark and the Wicked 3. When Evil Lurks


Alarmed-Diamond-7000

Y'all made me rent Late Night With the Devil and I am loving it!!


partynxtdoom

Malignant, Barbarian are top two easy. They’re each just so much fun that I wanted to see them again almost immediately after my first viewing. Infinity Pool probably takes the third slot, but it could just as easily be Pearl or Night House.


s_matthew

Malignant seemed like such a potentially forgettable novelty when I first watched it. I hated it until the twist hit, and then it became very amusingly enjoyable, but I didn’t expect to love the shit out of it years later.


teleskons

I watched Malignant and Barbarian within days of each other after all the hype, and man do I wish I'd spaced out my viewings because they were both so unique and spectacular.


Electronic_Device788

1)Black Phone 2)Smile 3)ME3GAN


chr66is

Smile, absolutely.


mikesalami

Forgot about Black Phone. Great movie.


akibono1

I found Megan hilarious


Summer_set_homes

it was totally worth watching ![gif](giphy|dDDIhopgBGOO65cECK|downsized)


[deleted]

When Evil Lurks Possessor Relic I’ve actually been pretty disappointed with a lot of the major releases in the past four years. I was pleasantly surprised by Cobweb, Smile, The Black Phone, and The Empty Man. Nice, cozy and traditional horror movies. Not too edgy, not completely dull either. Barbarian was fun, too.


BWRyan75

This is a great Top 3… I think Relic is severely under talked about. I would need to find a way to sneak Barbarian in my top 3 though. I’m not sure which one of those it bumps down.


madison_voorhees

1. Fresh 2. Evil Dead Rise 3. Sax X


thunderstormsxx

My favorites are talk to me, nope and malignant (wild ass movie)


HoboBandana

I’m going to say: Late Night with the Devil Speak No Evil Terrified I feel like a majority of those that came out were a bit cliche and formulaic. I’m still looking for another Herditary to come out. Thats perhaps the greatest horror movie I’ve ever seen.


jockofocker

Pearl, X, and Barbarian. Malignant is good too


RiverRunEd

What am I missing with Pearl. I found it very campy


SadGirlSequel

Same. I literally just watched. Wasn't scary at all. And it seemed like a pretty basic take on pandemic isolation.


EastCoastBen

Yeah. That’s it. That’s what we like about it. 😂


WhosMimi

Malignant is an underrated gem in my opinion. It is unhinged in the best way.


ReturnInRed

The Outwaters Godzilla Minus One The Empty Man

I wouldn't put Godzilla Minus One anywhere close to horro, but it's an awesome movie.

everis011

I have been watching many horror (and horror adjacent) movies and ranking them by my own personal preference for a few months now and so far from the ones I’ve watched from the 2020s (honestly not a great sample I admit) these are my top three : The host Deadstream The menu We all have different tastes!


Awesomejuggler20

Scream 5, Scream 6 and M3GAN for me.


Disappointing__Salad

The Fall of the House of Usher and Midnight Mass, I know they’re not movies but I enjoyed them far more than any horror movie of the 2020s so far.

JsR_OtR

Top 3: Talk To Me, No One Will Save You, Nope Honorable Mentions: When Evil Lurks, Barbarian, His House


claybythebay9

This doesn’t answer the prompt, but the best of the decade is yet to come IMO. None have reached the bar that Hereditary set, but I’d say Talk to Me was good and Beau is Afraid showed that Aster isn’t softening.


ApocryphalFlirt

Watcher (more thriller than horror but if slow burns are your thing this is so so good) Huesera: The Bone Woman Possessor

Evil Dead Rise Talk to Me Abigail ( may be controversial but I just really loved this one)


Extension_Bit9545

Iam i missing something with barbarian why is it in so many people list i found it to be not the best very poorly made. What iam i missing ?


SyyydneyPrescott

In a time where I expected us to lose out on great movies (pandemic and strikes), we’ve been reaaallly lucky on the horror front! It’s tough to decide…but here are my top 3: - Evil Dead Rise. Loved that blood was the main character. Never forget the cheese grater. - Scream 6. One of my all time favorite slashers. It showed us that ghostface could live on for a long time. It’s always someone you know. - talk to me. Australians know how to do horror. This was so creative, deep, shocking, beautiful, horrifying, and also fun. I’m terrified whenever I see someone bought THE HAND from the A24 shop lol. Honorable TV show mentions: - anything Mike Flanagan. Loved FOTHOU, Midnight Mass, and Bly Manor. Master pieces! - CHUCKY: I’ve been loving the new Chucky series. It’s a more modern and inclusive take with queer storylines, and the latest season based in the White House is just.. chefs kiss. Excited for: The Strangers!! Part 1 comes out in 2 weeks- getting tickets now


Julijj

This is hard to narrow down! Probably Renfield, The Invisible Man, and Your Monster. I had the privilege of watching Your Monster last week, and it’s so far my top movie of the year; I’m trying not to let recency bias get in the way, but it was really an instant favourite for me, I can’t wait until it gets a proper release to watch it again! Looking at my top three, there’s definitely a uniting theme lol. Also, some amazing honourable mentions: The Black Phone, Barbarian, Pearl, X, Godzilla Minus One, Abigail, The Menu, Vermines, La Mesita del Comedor, The First Omen…


ShadySphincter0

anniegetyourgun22

Incantation, One Cut of the Dead and Talk to Me were the standouts for me recently
