Express gratitude towards the ghosts and greet the ghouls, as 2024 has proven to be an exceptional year for horror films – with fans already having a strong contender for the top spot.
Despite the puzzling and unsettling marketing strategy for Longlegs and the divisive debut of Late Night with the Devil, the horror genre has dominated discussions at the cinematic water cooler in the current year. And with numerous thrilling horror films set to be released in 2024, we have only just begun to explore the depths of this genre.
Undoubtedly, this year has been a treat for horror movie enthusiasts. From notorious murderers to the embodiment of evil, every iconic antagonist has received their fair share of the spotlight. However, in a widely circulated X post, fans have been casting their votes for the best horror movie of the year, and the outcome is resoundingly clear.
Despite being given Longlegs, Late Night with the Devil, MaXXXine, and The First Omen as choices for the top horror movie of 2024 (for fans of the genre, at least), the majority of participants quickly chose a clear winner. And surprisingly, it wasn’t Longlegs – The First Omen emerged victorious, at least for now.

The title of The First Omen makes it clear that it is a part of the well-established Omen franchise, serving as both a prequel to the original film and the sixth installment in the series.
In our own review of The First Omen, we also declared it as the “top horror film of 2024 thus far.”
The film has been a triumph, receiving praise from both critics and moviegoers, and currently holds an impressive 81% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
According to a post by a user on X, “The First Omen”is the top horror movie of the year and there is no competition. The exceptional direction by Arkasha Stevenson captures the authenticity of the 1970s and creates a deeply unsettling horror atmosphere. This film was the most unexpected surprise for me this year.
Another individual stated that despite being a feature debut, The First Omen was able to achieve a skin-crawling intensity with its images and create a powerful atmospheric experience. They also praised director Arkasha Stevenson for elevating the film into something truly exceptional, as well as Nell Tiger Free’s performance, which they described as “holy hell.”
“I am equally shocked, but it is indeed THE FIRST OMEN,”concurred a third person from the group.
According to one comment on the post, “The First Omen”was not only an outstanding horror film, but also one of the greatest movies in general. The commenter expressed that they were constantly pausing the movie to appreciate the stunning shots, stating that it was “honestly so insanely beautiful.”
According to one user, the first omen is the most despicable film of the year, but they also praised Arkasha Stevenson’s distinct style and Nell Tiger Free’s incredible performance. They deemed it phenomenal and the best among all others, in their opinion.
The First Omen can currently be streamed on Hulu.
