A24 is such a gem of a studio, giving opportunities to rookie directors who have real talent. They have a real great identity as a company and are just great for film.
It's one of the last studios that gives a chance to "artsy" films. Pretty soon the entire scene will be owned and operated by Disney and the era for unknown directors making their passion artsy pieces will be over. Disney even talked about opening up their own theater chain which would put smaller privately owned theaters who still play the smaller movies out of business. It's truly tragic, It's been a huge issue for a few years now.
@Ciguaphyria X plus A24 doesn't make most of their movies. They're primarily just the U.S. distributor. Most of the movies in their catalogue they had zero to do with the production (still love their catalogue tho).
I'm glad there are people who like A24. But for me, it's a big keep away sign. I'd rather watch artless trash like Maniac Cop than The Lighthouse. Keep horror trashy and low budget and hungry. A24 is like adding symphonic instrumentation and production value to raw black metal albums.
Herriditary has a weird connection with me. The first time I finally got decided to watch it about 20 minutes in I got the call my grandma had passed away tragically. I didn’t pick the movie up again for months. Even now when I watch it it still brings up hard memories. It’s a real good Movie though!
So many of my favorite horror movies are A24 films! Climax, The lighthouse, The Witch, Hereditary, Midsommar, The Killing Of A Sacred Deer, and the ever unpopular Tusk lol. But honestly some of the best recent horror movies IMO. Good video 💜
Tusk is so underrated. It definitely has its flaws, but it's memorability and originality transcends even some of the most iconic horror films. It's fully committed to both horror and comedy, which is rare. I would have switched your number one and your number two, but I'm glad your number one is getting the praise it deserves. That film knew the risks it was taking and embraced them. Whether anyone fully figures it out or not, it will always be a powerful experience. It's a good thing you made this video before False Positive came out, because wow... you wouldn't have been able to say there are no bad ones on the list!
Yes...? Of course I'm proud! Please do a ranking of your top 10 horror films ever! I liked The Hole In The Ground too! Never hear anyone mention that film! I didn't now Killing of A Sacred Deer was A24?? I consider that and Hereditary to be the most disturbing films I've ever seen!
surprised by your number 1 pick! though I agree it is a wonderful film. here's what my list would be, ranked from worst to best, minus hole in the ground, in fabric, the monster and life after Beth bc I haven't seen those ones :< 12. Climax 11. Tusk 10. High Life 9. Hereditary (I rlly want to give it a second try though bc everyone seem to rlly love it but I didn't really on my first viewing!) 8. Under the Skin 7.

It took me a while to actually watch it since I didn't like Hereditary but I was completely floored by this film. hands down one of the best horror of all time for me!!!
Ooh you definitely need to rewatch Hereditary. I really didn't get the hype on first watch, but then I rewatched it when my partner wanted to see it and it's now one of my favorites; I feel like I caught so many more details the second time around which made it much more enjoyable, since the first time I was busy just trying to keep the plot straight in my head.
Dope to see Tusk make your top 5! I went in blind and was truly horrified by it. I can’t recall the last time I was to-my-soul disturbed. It definitely was a strange experience, and I’m happy to see it receive some love for being absurd.
8. Under the Skin (really enjoyed the first half but the ending didn’t really work for me) 7. The Killing of a Sacred Deer 6. Green Room 5. It Comes at Night 4. The Witch 3. Hereditary 2. Midsommar 1. The Lighthouse (one of the my favourite horror films ever and Willem Dafoe’s performance was the best of 2019 imo)
Ugh I am trying to work up the courage to put on midsummer again, that first brutal scene came at the wrong time in life.. love this list will be watching !
Okay so I just watched Tusk for the first time after hearing you rave about it. I’d like to do a similar video on a24 movies, so I thought I’d go ahead and get Tusk out of the way. Tbh, I was not expecting to laugh and be disgusted at the same time. Why does everyone hate it so much?? I can honestly say that I enjoyed it wayyyyyy more than I expected
My favorites are... 1. The Lighthouse 2. Tusk 3. Midsommer 4. X (made after this video) 5. Enemy (not sure if it counts as 'horror' but other people include it) 6. Lamb (came out after this video) 7. Saint Maud 8. Hereditary 9. Green Room 10. Killing of a Sacred Deer 11. In Fabric 12. The Witch 13. The Blackcoat's Daughter 14. Under the Skin
Hereditary was another level. I had to see it a second time which surprised me cause it got under my skin the first time. I think my jaw stayed on the floor for the last 20 minutes. I've dragged my feet about Midsommer but I think I'll finally watch it soon.

The Lighthouse was phenomenal, acting was amazing 10/10. I love greek mythology and seeing it incorporated in the film was amazing. If you guys like director Yorgos’ The Killing of a Sacred Deer make sure to also watch The Lobster.
@@spookyastronauts Just finished it. My initial reaction was that it was very drawn-out. But after it was all over, the style of it reminds me of the movie mother! or It Comes At Night. One of those kind of movies that needs to be analyzed. Needs to be discussed. It's so much deeper than first glance. I think I'll probably have to watch it two or three more times to be able to fully appreciate it. Thank you for the recommendation.
my ranking is 1. Hereditary 10/10 2. The Witch 10/10 3. Midsommar 10/10 4. Climax 10/10 5. The killing of a sacred deer 9/10 6. Green room 8/10 7. It comes at night 5/10 8. Tusk 4/10
I hated "In Fabric" so much. In fact, I was thinking as I watched it that the last time I viscerally hated a movie like that was "Berbarian Sound Studio." Turns out they were made by the same guy! I guess I'm just not on his wavelength. Cuz man, I REALLY hate that movie. Even seeing silent images from it irritated me.
Of the one's I've seen... 1. Midsommar (2019) 2. The Lighthouse (2019) 3. Green Room (2015) 4. Hereditary (2018) 5. Climax (2018) 6. The Witch (2015) 7. The Blackcoat's Daughter (2015) 8. Tusk (2014) 9. Under the Skin (2013)
Hi new viewer here. Different taste here for sure. Out of the movies that Ive seen in this list (not a lot) I think Green Room has to be the one I found most entertaining. However I didnt like Hereditary at all and if anything it was more of a thriller to me. I will say though that I think A24 is more about psychological horror than any other type. They try to make an emotional connection and reel you in. Unfortunately for me they haven't done this; the pull just hasnt worked. However I enjoyed listening to you go through these and Im seriously considering giving at least two movies a go after hearing you talk about them. Thanks for your content.
Moff Tarkin I agree with everything you just said! I really didn’t like The Witch (Or The VVitch, I don’t know what to call it) but I did love The Lighthouse. Hereditary is one one of my top 30 favorite films of all time, and one of my top 3 favorite horror films alongside The Shining and Rosemary’s Baby. What did you think of The Lighthouse?
I'd be one of those friends who would have said "what a fun ride- any more recommendations?" ... I mean srsly, even "death becomes her" had more body-horror to offer. at least in variety
Man, that sucks. My friend showed me Tusk and not even a month later, I got a walrus tattoo (despite being extremely disturbed and moderately depressed for the following 48 hours of seeing it)
I never realized how much I love A24 movies until seeing this video. I love almost all of these movies! Oddly, I haven't seen or even heard of The Killing of a Sacred Deer! I'll be checking that one out for sure.
That was the same for me as well I stumbled across the trailer while doing research on the director. It wasn’t much promotion for it and the trailer doesn’t give anything away either.
this video makes me realize I’m either ALL IN with an A24 movie or completely all out lol movies like Tusk and Green Room were just so amazing but I couldn’t stand movies like Climax and The Lighthouse. definition of hit or miss for me, but I loved hearing your list!
Most definitely! A24 has made a few bombs, but inversely, a few that are worth a re-watch over and over again! Obviously, "Hereditary", which definitely deserves be high up because it was REALLY successful on a budget of $10 million with returning just over 8× at $80.2 million and pretty much made Toni Collette a scream queen!
Totally agree. A24 supports so many creative minds and I’m here for it, we get to see some stories play out that we otherwise might not. Sometimes tho, it feels like in an attempt to find a story that’s “unique” and “different”, like most of their films, they find some people that cross the line into “wtf actually is this” territory.
Your Climax review was kind of disappointing because the only negative thing you had to say about it was that it made you uncomfortable, so it's almost like you would have enjoyed it had it not been so intense, whatever though. Still appreciate your channel
my ranking, i haven't seen much tho: midsommar 5/5 the lighthouse 5/5 hereditary 5/5 the witch 5/5 the blackcoat's daughter 3.5/5 it comes at night 2/5
merjem i agree with hereditary (favorite move of all time), lighthouse and the witch. but midsommar kinda dragged on for me, it’s really beautifully shot but the story kinda felt slow moving and the beginning with the parents i felt like it was unnecessary, they could’ve done more with it
BHENgames the intro with the parents and sister was so tragically horrifying that it actually scared me of how abrupt and expertly shot it was. However the rest of the movie after that felt like something completely different and I didn’t understand some of the intricacies of it, which distracted me from the style of horror. Certain things dragged on for too long with no purpose (I’m mostly pointing out that fucking sex ritual). But other than that it’s a beautiful piece of cinema and I would understand that the more you watch it, the more you appreciate it. I still need to watch a lot of A24 movies, but so far, The Lighthouse, Hereditary, and Uncut Gems are my favourites.
A24 just blows every other movie company out of the water, in my opinion. They just completely align with what I love in film. Thank you for this video!
I feel as though Killing of a Sacred Deer is so underrated, such an incredible film!!!! Same as Climax, both these movies really shook me to the core. Shoutout to A24 for saving horror.
It's crazy that A24 have made at least 4 of the best films of the decade! Of the ones I've seen this is my list! 1: Hereditary 2: Midsommar 3: The Blackcoat's Daughter 4: The Witch 5: The Lighthouse 6: Green Room 7: The Hole in the Ground 8: The Killing of a Sacred Deer 9: High Life 10: Under the Skin 11: Life After Beth
I agree. I feel like cosmic horror has so much to offer creativity-wise. And the scenes where she lured the victims into her realm along with the sounds and visuals prove this; so haunting and unique!
Your channel has helped me find so many hidden gems that I've never seen before. Thank you so much! Top 5: Green room, The killing of a sacred dear, Lighthouse, Midsommar, and one of my all time favorite movies Hereditary.
It Comes at Night is honestly my favorite horror film of all time. The amount of tension Shults manages to build throughout is outstanding. I also think it has one of the best / bleakest endings out of any horror film. He managed to create an ending that was both surprising and completely inevitable. I love that Shults refuses to reveal exactly what “It” is, instead implying that humans are the real monsters.
*spoilers* I think It Comes at Night is underrated. The advertising completely misled people, for sure, and that's unfortunate. But taken less as a direct horror film, and more as an exploration of what fear does to the mind in times of crisis, I think it's pretty great. You witness in real time the transformation of people as they start as rivals, become family, and then end up as enemies, all because of a virus, something that (like fear) can't be seen but has the power to destroy. I also appreciate that it asks a pretty simple though profound question. Is death the worst fate possible? Or is it worse to lose ones humanity and live with the consequences? I've always enjoyed the film. Though, granted, I may be seeing it in a different light at the moment due to what is happening in the world at large. Great list, well spoken. I definitely need to see High Life.
I watched it in the theater when it came out. I loved the slow moodiness of it as opposed to waiting for It to come at night. It's rich in subtext. I think the title does a disservice to it in equal to the marketing. Rewatching during the pandemic is a good move too! Haha
Midsommar is my favorite one, it was so beautiful. You don’t see horror type movies with the color palette and environment as that, and it keeps it like 100% throughout. I LOVED it
Totally thought Hereditary would be number one. I still haven't seen The Killing of a Sacred Dear, but now I absolutely have to. I do enjoy me some Yorgos Lanthimos.
Arthouse horror is on a tear right now. Love A24 !!! There are quite a few I have not seen yet.... Got some work to do ...Need to add to my 31 days of horror list. Thanks Emma for compiling an A24 horror film list. The Lighthouse (2019) My # 3 A24 horror The Hole in the Ground (2019) Not seen Midsommar (2019) My # 4 A24 horror Climax (2018) Not seen Hereditary (2018) My # 2 A24 horror In Fabric (2018) not seen High Life (2018) not seen It Comes at Night (2017) not seen The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) not seen The Monster (2016) Not seen The Witch (2015) My # 5 A24 horror The Blackcoat's Daughter (2015) My # 1 A24 horror Green Room (2015) Not seen Life After Beth (2014) Not seen Tusk (2014) Not seen Under the Skin (2013) My # 6 A24 horror
These covid-19 lockdowns are driving us all to a "The Lighthouse" situation lol My dad is this close to ask me if I like his cooking. Thanks a lot for this list, great content as always ✌🏼
Great idea for a video. While we're waiting for more films, maybe you could do other similar company driven lists (Blumhouse?). Thanks Emma. You made me think about The Blackcoat's Daughter...
@@spookyastronauts It's ok. I made that comment before I finished your list and you redeemed yourself with Sacred Deer at number 1. That movie is a masterpiece!
My least favourite is definitely Tusk🙈 BUT I do think it's because I really really don't like body horror. Its the one horror genre that gives me nightmares. Its why I avoid Hostel esk movies and human centipede etc. It just grosses me out and is too much to deal with mentally. I didn't like lighthouse as a film but can appreciate it as art. I haven't seen killing of a sacred dear. Midsommar is my number 1 A24. My husband and I just sat in the cinema for 10 minutes afterwards in awe of what we just watched. Incredible list I have some movies to watch as there was a few I hadn't heard of
I haven't seen all of them, but here's the rank list of all the ones I have watched: Midsommar (2019) The Witch (2015) Under the Skin (2013) Hereditary (2018) The Lighthouse (2019) In Fabric (2018)
For me: Midsommar, Hereditay, The Witch, The Blackcoat´s Daughter, (Under the Silver Lake*), The Lighthouse, In Fabric, (Ex Machina*), The Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Monster, The Hole in the Ground, Climax, It comes at Night, Green Room, Under the Skin...*= if one might call them Horror(esque) ;-) Great idea, Emma :-) Blumhouse next?
You gained a subscriber in me the moment you placed Tusk in your top 5. I watched the movie with my wife and a friend and they both thought it was stupid - I, on the other hand, actually thoroughly enjoyed it haha. Good to know I wasn't the only one!
when I first saw tusk, until the end, I was like wow this is such a good psychological thriller. I really liked it, but again, the ending was weird? however, I appreciate the film
Right!? It is definitely worth the watch. It was sad in its own way and has a lesson to be learned in the ending. I felt the same way. Its underappreciated because its not typical for the producer and his normal comedy films.
Although I became a staunch supporter of A24 after being blown away by Ex Machina in 2015 and then selecting The Witch as #1 overall for 2016, it is the lower profile releases like Climax and In Fabric that are constant reminders of the bold and pioneering spirit of this studio.
Of the 8 that I’ve seen, here is my ranking. 1. Hereditary- a family tragedy turned horror. Wow. Love this film. Has some genuinely terrifying scenes. 2. The Lighthouse- acting is wonderful, so metaphorical, a wonderful display of a descent into madness 3. The Witch- beautiful film, intense, creepy and very well made. 4. Tusk- funny, strange, disturbing, dumb, emotional, and disgusting makes this a fun watch 5. Green Room- very intense with some great performances, good gore as well 6. Midsommar- over the top weird at times, drawn out, but has some memorable scenes, incredible acting 7. The Killing of a sacred deer- acting felt off, simply wasn’t entertaining enough, but disturbing 8. The Hole in the Ground- first two thirds were great, last third was disappointing, good performances
11. High Life (2018) 2/10 10. Tusk (2014) 6/10 9. It Comes at Night (2017) 8/10 8. Climax (2018) (8/10) 7. Midsommar (2019) 7/10 6. Green Room (2015) 9/10 5. The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) 9/10 4. The Witch (2015) 10/10 3. Under the Skin (2013) 10/10 2. The Lighthouse (2019) 10/10 1. Hereditary (2018) 10/10
Was I the only one utterly traumatized by Tusk? It had me closer to puking than Cannibal Holocaust and Men Behind the Sun, I really didn't expect to be shattered and I still don't get why I was.
*_Finally,_* someone else who enjoyed _Tusk_ as much as i did. I guess a lot of people just sort of _"grew out"_ of Kevin Smith's sense of humor, & he's got such a _skewed_ (pun intended) perception of reality that it just feels right, & translates very well to horror, imo. Whenever i mention liking _Tusk,_ however, i almost *always* get a confused look from others, almost as if liking it automatically means there's something wrong w/me... They're mostly right in sensing that something's wrong w/me, but i don't think this film necessarily warrants that kind of reaction.
“I could have put it in the back to please you all, but I love Tusk so much”. Can I use your line for myself whenever I have a hot take on a list that I know won’t please people? Because I loved it! Also, I do respect your opinion. My favorite A24 horror is The VVitch.
Sorry for any pronunciation errors, I try my best.
I listen to pronunciations before speaking, but sometimes I slip up.

I have speech and reading problems and I refuse to let it discourage me from making videos.

Hey you did great, keep it up-very entertaining.
spookyastronauts i did not even notice Emma✌🏻
Again...check out "The Devils" with Oliver Reed. Disturbing to the Nth Degree.
@@ersturdevant2831 Yes, it's so disturbing that they've never released the full uncut version anywhere.
@@chooch610 True! Supposedly there is a somewhat full version on Torrent...so I've heard.

That has nothing to do with the movie though. You’re just forming connections between 2 unrelated things which is a very common human practice.
That movie slightly fucked me up.
I made the mistake of watching Tusk while I was eating my lunch.
haha whooops!
I’m so hyped for Saint Maud whenever that comes out.
Me too! It will likely be delayed now though!
I'm so excited to see it cant wait!!😍
It’s going to be in home tv

♥️ Tusk... More Margaritas Ring Tone has been on my phone since I saw it. 🤣
The Lighthouse was phenomenal, acting was amazing 10/10. I love greek mythology and seeing it incorporated in the film was amazing. If you guys like director Yorgos’ The Killing of a Sacred Deer make sure to also watch The Lobster.
Also, the score in Midsommar is all done by The Haxan Cloak. Check out his album, Excavation!
I have recently watched dark light. It's a chilling horror movie.I enjoyed watching it
Tusk is fantastic and a gem of Kevin smith’s filmography
🧢. That movie was cheeks
It was hilarious to me but jesus christ it was weird
On wow. I bought your #1 months ago but haven't watched it yet. Totally going to tomorrow!
hope you like it!
@@spookyastronauts Just finished it. My initial reaction was that it was very drawn-out. But after it was all over, the style of it reminds me of the movie mother! or It Comes At Night. One of those kind of movies that needs to be analyzed. Needs to be discussed. It's so much deeper than first glance. I think I'll probably have to watch it two or three more times to be able to fully appreciate it. Thank you for the recommendation.
Fun fact: the kid who plays the son in Sacred Deer also plays Atreus in God of War.
cool
my ranking is
1. Hereditary 10/10
2. The Witch 10/10
3. Midsommar 10/10
4. Climax 10/10
5. The killing of a sacred deer 9/10
6. Green room 8/10
7. It comes at night 5/10
8. Tusk 4/10
always giving me great things to watch! thanks
Another movie I suggest to watch is freaks
I hated "In Fabric" so much. In fact, I was thinking as I watched it that the last time I viscerally hated a movie like that was "Berbarian Sound Studio." Turns out they were made by the same guy! I guess I'm just not on his wavelength. Cuz man, I REALLY hate that movie. Even seeing silent images from it irritated me.
Of the one's I've seen...

Hi new viewer here. Different taste here for sure. Out of the movies that Ive seen in this list (not a lot) I think Green Room has to be the one I found most entertaining. However I didnt like Hereditary at all and if anything it was more of a thriller to me.
I will say though that I think A24 is more about psychological horror than any other type. They try to make an emotional connection and reel you in. Unfortunately for me they haven't done this; the pull just hasnt worked.
However I enjoyed listening to you go through these and Im seriously considering giving at least two movies a go after hearing you talk about them. Thanks for your content.
I remember watching under the skin
Tbh I don't think I could order them any different. Good job. :)
Thanks Stuart !
Can you also do a list of IFC horror movies. thank you
I also really liked The killing of a sacred deer but my favorite as a horror movie is The witch
I'm sorry I know people like the witch but I didn't like that movie. Hereditary is my favorite A24 movie.
Many people here didnt like Hereditary! A24 is very hit or miss
Moff Tarkin I agree with everything you just said! I really didn’t like The Witch (Or The VVitch, I don’t know what to call it) but I did love The Lighthouse. Hereditary is one one of my top 30 favorite films of all time, and one of my top 3 favorite horror films alongside The Shining and Rosemary’s Baby. What did you think of The Lighthouse?
@@isakdahl7054 I liked it. Way better than the witch.
Moff Tarkin Then we agree once again!
@@isakdahl7054 it's a good movie. The Lighthouse didn't put me to sleep like the witch did.
I've watched a little over half of these alfeady. When I see A24 or XYZ Films (XYZ worked on The Raid 1 & 2 movies) I know it's going to be good.
Liked and subscribed for Tusk at #5 I love that film
What I would give…….oh what I would give to have Tusk removed from my brain
I have watched:
Midsommar 5/5
The Witch 4.5/5
Hereditary 4/5
Want to watch:
Under the skin
Green Room
The Killing of the Sacreed Deer
Climax
High Life
"Green room" was intense! I really was sweating and at the edge of my seat.
The 1 and 2 films are played by Australian actresess. ( Toni Colette and Nicole Kidman) And Ema is Australian interesting..
Under the Skin is fantastic! The OST is creepy!
Oh man idk..I thought the ending of hereditary was obvious the movie was a Rosemary's type movie smh..I love rosemarys baby tho
I liked Tusk more than the lighthouse as well.....
I thought i was the only one who loves Tusk 😂😂😂
the witch, midsommar and hereditary are the best 3 for me these are how horror movies should be made an interesting story and actually scary
I love The Killing Of A Sacred Deer. Glad to see someone who doesn’t think it’s boring 😎
It's amazing!
clonekillerz I didn’t really like it, but I don’t think that it’s boring.
To me, that's a masterpiece!
Angela Comprés I agree!
clonekillerz i wouldn’t call it boring at all, I’d call it slow for sure though
I invited a bunch of friends over to watch a movie. I put on Tusk without any context. I have no friends now.
I'd be one of those friends who would have said "what a fun ride- any more recommendations?" ... I mean srsly, even "death becomes her" had more body-horror to offer. at least in variety
Man, that sucks. My friend showed me Tusk and not even a month later, I got a walrus tattoo (despite being extremely disturbed and moderately depressed for the following 48 hours of seeing it)
Damn Ur friends sound like pussies lmfao, such a tame movie
I never realized how much I love A24 movies until seeing this video. I love almost all of these movies! Oddly, I haven't seen or even heard of The Killing of a Sacred Deer! I'll be checking that one out for sure.
Hope you enjoy it Julie!
It is a Fantastic movie ! In my top 3 for sure !!!
That was the same for me as well I stumbled across the trailer while doing research on the director. It wasn’t much promotion for it and the trailer doesn’t give anything away either.
It’s coming to Netflix this month !
this video makes me realize I’m either ALL IN with an A24 movie or completely all out lol movies like Tusk and Green Room were just so amazing but I couldn’t stand movies like Climax and The Lighthouse. definition of hit or miss for me, but I loved hearing your list!
I'm actually quite opposite...
Most definitely! A24 has made a few bombs, but inversely, a few that are worth a re-watch over and over again!
Obviously, "Hereditary", which definitely deserves be high up because it was REALLY successful on a budget of $10 million with returning just over 8× at $80.2 million and pretty much made Toni Collette a scream queen!
Totally agree. A24 supports so many creative minds and I’m here for it, we get to see some stories play out that we otherwise might not. Sometimes tho, it feels like in an attempt to find a story that’s “unique” and “different”, like most of their films, they find some people that cross the line into “wtf actually is this” territory.
Thanks Sarah! I know we have pretty different tastes so that makes complete sense to me!
Your Climax review was kind of disappointing because the only negative thing you had to say about it was that it made you uncomfortable, so it's almost like you would have enjoyed it had it not been so intense, whatever though. Still appreciate your channel
my ranking, i haven't seen much tho:
midsommar 5/5
the lighthouse 5/5
hereditary 5/5
the witch 5/5
the blackcoat's daughter 3.5/5
it comes at night 2/5
merjem i agree with hereditary (favorite move of all time), lighthouse and the witch. but midsommar kinda dragged on for me, it’s really beautifully shot but the story kinda felt slow moving and the beginning with the parents i felt like it was unnecessary, they could’ve done more with it
i have it at 4/5
BHENgames the intro with the parents and sister was so tragically horrifying that it actually scared me of how abrupt and expertly shot it was. However the rest of the movie after that felt like something completely different and I didn’t understand some of the intricacies of it, which distracted me from the style of horror. Certain things dragged on for too long with no purpose (I’m mostly pointing out that fucking sex ritual). But other than that it’s a beautiful piece of cinema and I would understand that the more you watch it, the more you appreciate it.
I still need to watch a lot of A24 movies, but so far, The Lighthouse, Hereditary, and Uncut Gems are my favourites.
The black coats daughter is phenomenal 5/5 easily
@@jasont2003 agreed, that movie legit gave me nightmares which is hard to do
A24 just blows every other movie company out of the water, in my opinion. They just completely align with what I love in film. Thank you for this video!
I feel as though Killing of a Sacred Deer is so underrated, such an incredible film!!!! Same as Climax, both these movies really shook me to the core. Shoutout to A24 for saving horror.
Climax so disappointing to me... Killing of a Sacred Deer is solid though..
It's crazy that A24 have made at least 4 of the best films of the decade! Of the ones I've seen this is my list!
1: Hereditary
2: Midsommar
3: The Blackcoat's Daughter
4: The Witch
5: The Lighthouse
6: Green Room
7: The Hole in the Ground
8: The Killing of a Sacred Deer
9: High Life
10: Under the Skin
11: Life After Beth
I found " Under The Skin " to be a phenomenal film. So much subtle tension. Truly an artistic masterpiece. 5 🌟
A lingering, truly disturbing films, like Oliver Reed's "The Devils" and "Eraserhead."
Yeah, I think it would be #1 on this list. I'd have to re-visit some of them before I committed to that choice, but I think it would be at the top.
I found it an odd flick. Ending was very uncomfortable and sad.
I agree. I feel like cosmic horror has so much to offer creativity-wise. And the scenes where she lured the victims into her realm along with the sounds and visuals prove this; so haunting and unique!
Your channel has helped me find so many hidden gems that I've never seen before. Thank you so much!
Top 5: Green room, The killing of a sacred dear, Lighthouse, Midsommar, and one of my all time favorite movies Hereditary.
It Comes at Night is honestly my favorite horror film of all time. The amount of tension Shults manages to build throughout is outstanding. I also think it has one of the best / bleakest endings out of any horror film. He managed to create an ending that was both surprising and completely inevitable.
I love that Shults refuses to reveal exactly what “It” is, instead implying that humans are the real monsters.
Its a masterfull subversive piece of cinema
Fernando Haberfeld I agree 100%. The marketing was abysmal, and it really hurt the film. But going in blind is the best way to fully appreciate it.
Bahh hated it
I agree 100%🙏🏻
Went in blind. Loved it, totally agree.
Ranking the ones I have seen
1- Hereditary
2- The Witch
(First two are almost interchangeable)
3- It Comes At Night
4- Midsommar
5- The Lighthouse
*spoilers* I think It Comes at Night is underrated. The advertising completely misled people, for sure, and that's unfortunate. But taken less as a direct horror film, and more as an exploration of what fear does to the mind in times of crisis, I think it's pretty great. You witness in real time the transformation of people as they start as rivals, become family, and then end up as enemies, all because of a virus, something that (like fear) can't be seen but has the power to destroy. I also appreciate that it asks a pretty simple though profound question. Is death the worst fate possible? Or is it worse to lose ones humanity and live with the consequences?
I've always enjoyed the film. Though, granted, I may be seeing it in a different light at the moment due to what is happening in the world at large.
Great list, well spoken. I definitely need to see High Life.
Also, that firm has the BEST jump scares I've ever seen!
I watched it in the theater when it came out. I loved the slow moodiness of it as opposed to waiting for It to come at night. It's rich in subtext. I think the title does a disservice to it in equal to the marketing. Rewatching during the pandemic is a good move too! Haha
@@ikesours6558 seriously. It definitely hits different, given the circumstances.
The Lighthouse is a masterpiece
It's good.....
Midsommar is my favorite one, it was so beautiful. You don’t see horror type movies with the color palette and environment as that, and it keeps it like 100% throughout. I LOVED it
Totally thought Hereditary would be number one. I still haven't seen The Killing of a Sacred Dear, but now I absolutely have to. I do enjoy me some Yorgos Lanthimos.
He is everything!
It's a really good film, but also a difficult one. I loved it.
thanks for the spoiler
Arthouse horror is on a tear right now. Love A24 !!! There are quite a few I have not seen yet.... Got some work to do ...Need to add to my 31 days of horror list. Thanks Emma for compiling an A24 horror film list.

These covid-19 lockdowns are driving us all to a "The Lighthouse" situation lol
My dad is this close to ask me if I like his cooking.
Thanks a lot for this list, great content as always ✌🏼
Next he’ll be asking “why’d ya spill yer beans…”
The Blackcoat's Daughter is my favorite horror movie after the original Martyrs and Hereditary. They all haunt me.
Great idea for a video. While we're waiting for more films, maybe you could do other similar company driven lists (Blumhouse?). Thanks Emma. You made me think about The Blackcoat's Daughter...
I dont think I could do any similar lists given this one was so short. The Blum house would have to be at least 50 movies haha!
And I thought I was the only person who liked Tusk?
What about Ex Machina? I know it's sci-fi, but it deffo has horror elements, too. It's my favorite A24 movie, with Hereditary being a very close 2nd.
Nice list! Although the Witch at number 8 is a crime. Lol
I watched it again last night! so great!
Hard to order them all since they are all great films!
@@spookyastronauts It's ok. I made that comment before I finished your list and you redeemed yourself with Sacred Deer at number 1. That movie is a masterpiece!
I’m so happy that Tusk was so high on your list. That really surprised me and it was so welcome hahaha
My least favourite is definitely Tusk🙈 BUT I do think it's because I really really don't like body horror. Its the one horror genre that gives me nightmares. Its why I avoid Hostel esk movies and human centipede etc. It just grosses me out and is too much to deal with mentally. I didn't like lighthouse as a film but can appreciate it as art. I haven't seen killing of a sacred dear. Midsommar is my number 1 A24. My husband and I just sat in the cinema for 10 minutes afterwards in awe of what we just watched. Incredible list I have some movies to watch as there was a few I hadn't heard of
The Killing of A Sacred Deer and Hereditary are interchangeably my favorite movies! Never even realized KOASD was by A24!
I absolutely loved Black Coat’s Daughter and I couldn’t even tell you why but I just loved how different and creepy it was
Alliee Raee I feel the same way about this film! loved it and can’t explain it lol. It’s so good though
Tori Morrow exactly! It’s the vibe and just everything it’s so intriguing
I really agree. I'm not 100% where exactly it would be on my list, but most definitely top-5.
No real plot but it has amazingly disturbing atmosphere.
I haven't seen all of them, but here's the rank list of all the ones I have watched:
Midsommar (2019)
The Witch (2015)
Under the Skin (2013)
Hereditary (2018)
The Lighthouse (2019)
In Fabric (2018)
For me: Midsommar, Hereditay, The Witch, The Blackcoat´s Daughter, (Under the Silver Lake*), The Lighthouse, In Fabric, (Ex Machina*), The Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Monster, The Hole in the Ground, Climax, It comes at Night, Green Room, Under the Skin...*= if one might call them Horror(esque) ;-)
Great idea, Emma :-) Blumhouse next?
Oh, Enemy needs to be between The Lighthouse and In Fabric :-D Nearly forgot...
I gotta go with The Witch, Midsommar, Ex Machina
Arthouse horror is on a tear right now. Love A24 !!!
You gained a subscriber in me the moment you placed Tusk in your top 5. I watched the movie with my wife and a friend and they both thought it was stupid - I, on the other hand, actually thoroughly enjoyed it haha. Good to know I wasn't the only one!
Loved the hyped up films: The Lighthouse, Hereditary, and Midsommar. Now, I’m interested to watch The Killing of a Sacred Deer
Tusk. Hehehe. Ok, I'll stop. My favorite is "The Witch," hands down. Next would be "Midsommer."
Thanks for sharing Media :D
Yorgos Lanthimos might be my favourite director at the moment
when I first saw tusk, until the end, I was like wow this is such a good psychological thriller. I really liked it, but again, the ending was weird? however, I appreciate the film
Right!? It is definitely worth the watch. It was sad in its own way and has a lesson to be learned in the ending. I felt the same way. Its underappreciated because its not typical for the producer and his normal comedy films.
Although I became a staunch supporter of A24 after being blown away by Ex Machina in 2015 and then selecting The Witch as #1 overall for 2016, it is the lower profile releases like Climax and In Fabric that are constant reminders of the bold and pioneering spirit of this studio.
I just watched The Killing of a Sacred Deer for the first time and that was easily one of the most disturbing movies I’ve seen. Great film.
Of the 8 that I’ve seen, here is my ranking.
1. Hereditary- a family tragedy turned horror. Wow. Love this film. Has some genuinely terrifying scenes.
2. The Lighthouse- acting is wonderful, so metaphorical, a wonderful display of a descent into madness
3. The Witch- beautiful film, intense, creepy and very well made.
4. Tusk- funny, strange, disturbing, dumb, emotional, and disgusting makes this a fun watch
5. Green Room- very intense with some great performances, good gore as well
6. Midsommar- over the top weird at times, drawn out, but has some memorable scenes, incredible acting
7. The Killing of a sacred deer- acting felt off, simply wasn’t entertaining enough, but disturbing
8. The Hole in the Ground- first two thirds were great, last third was disappointing, good performances
11. High Life (2018) 2/10
10. Tusk (2014) 6/10
9. It Comes at Night (2017) 8/10
8. Climax (2018) (8/10)
7. Midsommar (2019) 7/10
6. Green Room (2015) 9/10
5. The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) 9/10
4. The Witch (2015) 10/10
3. Under the Skin (2013) 10/10
2. The Lighthouse (2019) 10/10
1. Hereditary (2018) 10/10
The Killing of a Sacred Deer and Hereditary are foils of one another
Was I the only one utterly traumatized by Tusk? It had me closer to puking than Cannibal Holocaust and Men Behind the Sun, I really didn't expect to be shattered and I still don't get why I was.
Tony collett in every movie is jaw dropping
*_Finally,_* someone else who enjoyed _Tusk_ as much as i did. I guess a lot of people just sort of _"grew out"_ of Kevin Smith's sense of humor, & he's got such a _skewed_ (pun intended) perception of reality that it just feels right, & translates very well to horror, imo. Whenever i mention liking _Tusk,_ however, i almost *always* get a confused look from others, almost as if liking it automatically means there's something wrong w/me... They're mostly right in sensing that something's wrong w/me, but i don't think this film necessarily warrants that kind of reaction.
“I could have put it in the back to please you all, but I love Tusk so much”.
Can I use your line for myself whenever I have a hot take on a list that I know won’t please people? Because I loved it!
Also, I do respect your opinion. My favorite A24 horror is The VVitch.
Climax is the worst movie I've ever watched...even worse than August underground mordum
