There are a handful of iconic movies in the horror genre that are fun for audiences to rewatch, and they also happen to get better each time.

It’s been a year punctuated by a lot of alright or pretty-good movies, with a few gems emerging as the best among a batch of mid-tier titles. If one genre has thrived in 2024, though, it’s undoubtedly horror.

Whether you were in the mood for glossy, big-budget studio horror or a more low-key indie surprise, the past year has served up a ton of excellent horror flicks. But more than that, it's also given innumerable actors the floor to deliver some of their finest acting work to date.
