Note: Haven't seen Nosferatu or Smile 2 yet. Also, I've seen some call You'll Never Find Me as a 2024 movie. If one includes that, it goes very high on our list.

Heretic was tight, script was good, sets and cinematography decent, and acted by an excellent Hugh Grant. 8/10 for me.

Alien Romulus was pretty damn good, certainly the best entry in the series since Aliens.

Immaculate really surprised me as I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. If you like religious focused horror, especially from the Christian side of things, this might be up your alley.

Strange Darling was a fun movie but I would not consider it horror, more of a thriller. Some people really disliked it and I can understand why. It's not for everyone, but it hit all the check boxes for me. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Oddity was a really good time if you like ghost stories. Probably my favorite horror movie of the year and I'm really excited to see what this director does with The Monkey.

Note that Oddity was directed by Damian Mc Carthy. The Monkey is being directed by Osgood Perkins, who did Longlegs in 2024.

Damn you're right! I confused him with the Longlegs director. Longlegs was another good thriller from 2024 but it didn't quite make it to my top favs of the year. Still a solid flick!

Didn't watch any in 2024. Seems like the genre is stagnating.

Remakes and jumpscares as far as the eye can see.

Seems your eye doesn't see very far.

It's hard to see very far when you stop looking out of lack of interest. Like I said, the genre stinks these days.

Doubling down on not finding anything because you're not looking so there's nothing worth looking for isn't very compelling. 2024 wasn't as strong a showing as 2023, but Exhuma, Cuckoo, It’s What’s Inside, and Krazy House say it's not a full dud either.

I'm not trying to convince anybody, I'm sharing my opinion. If you don't like my opinion, that's okay with me.

Thank you for sharing some recommendations.
