There are still a few movies to be released (https://www.movieinsider.com/movies/2024), but it's still probably a good time to have a look at the best movies from 2024 and discuss them.

There will be similar threads on [email protected], and probably [email protected]

Feel free to comment with the movies you liked the most, ideally one comment per movie so that other people can chime in and discuss.

Longlegs and Civil War stuck with me for so long after watching them.

Agreed. Civil War for obvious reasons but I really liked Longlegs. Nick Cage did a really fun performance and like I said, the imagery is really creepy in a way that calls back to older horror movies. I check r/horror every now and again for recommendations and the amount of hate that movie gets on there is absurd

I never got the hate either. It's creepy and uncomfortable on such a primal level. I've seen Cage in some weird roles, but he was so unnerving in this one.
I put it up there with the best horror of the last decade.

Long legs:
I think it's trying to hard. It clearly wants to be a satanist movie and hit all the shock factor of it to make the audience gasp. But a spectacle film where it keeps going out of the way to call itself that feels self feliciating in the way that Nope kinda failed.

Plus the twist is weak and it just explains everything for you at the end in a weird way then drips you off at the climax of the film, then another wino to camera and done.

I felt no tension or fear the whole movie.
