Sigh. Here they are, our Worst Horror Movies of 2024. It’s an annual obligation. You can’t win em all, and it is time to reveal the losers from 2024.
The Scariest Things had disagreements about how we felt about the horror offerings from 2024. Some thought it was a strong year; others thought it was weak. We also had crossover on several of our best and worst selections, which made for some fun interaction. We already talked about our favorites. Here are our disappointments.
For those of you who enjoy kicking a bad movie when it is down, today is the lucky day for the wrong bettors! In craps gambling parlance, this is somebody who plays the don’t pass and don’t come lines. In an era where critical evaluations come out black and white with not much grey, there are certainly plenty of wrong-side bettors. That makes things spicy! We are going to lay some shade on movies that we thought were a train wreck.
Don’t be stunned if one of your favorite movies is on this list.
If you haven’t gotten a chance to listen to Episode 192: The Best Horror Movies of 2024, we had an entertaining and robust debate. Even some of the movies that some of us loved were loathed by one of our fellow critics. In fact two movies that were ranked #1 on our respective critics list also snuck in to the bottom of the year list. It made for a very complex evaluation year.
In a manner befitting the subject material, our worst of the year list is a bit more random than our more refined best of list. The rules are a little loose. Some of us picked three movies. Others picked nine. There are some bigger production films from directors or actors who we have a lot of respect for that somehow left a bad taste in our mouths. Other films were ones that we took a chance on, and found us unimpressed.
Here are our dubious double dozen movies from 2024.
