The 5 Best A24 Horror Flicks to Binge This Weekend

A24 is dominating the horror scene and it’s impossible to ignore the incredible slate of A24 horror films that have already become cult classics. With everything from eerie thrillers to unsettling psychological horror, this studio is quickly becoming the go-to for fans who crave something different.

While A24 has certainly made a mark with its broader film catalog, it’s their horror lineup that truly stands out. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably spent countless hours diving into their chilling library. To help you navigate this cinematic treasure trove, here are five of my favorite A24 horror movies currently streaming—each one guaranteed to leave you thinking long after the credits roll.

1. Bodies Bodies Bodies (dir. Halina Reijn)

Where to Watch: VOD

A hurricane party in a secluded mansion goes from bad to worse when a game of “bodies, bodies, bodies” turns deadly. What starts as a satirical, dark comedy quickly escalates into a brutal, claustrophobic slasher. Featuring a stellar ensemble cast, including Amandla Stenberg and Pete Davidson, Bodies Bodies Bodies offers sharp, clever dialogue written by Sarah DeLappe. The humor cuts deep, making it one of the most refreshing horror films of recent years. If you love horror mixed with biting wit, this one is a must-watch.

2. Hereditary (dir. Ari Aster)

Where to Watch: Netflix

Toni Collette delivers a career-defining performance in this nightmarish family drama. Hereditary follows a family unraveling after the death of their matriarch, only to discover the horrifying legacy she’s left behind. Ari Aster’s unsettling direction makes this one of the most disturbing films of the past decade, with a creeping sense of dread that builds to an unforgettable, gut-wrenching conclusion. It may be a staple on any A24 horror list, but there’s a reason why—it’s simply a masterpiece.

3. Heretic (dir. Scott Beck and Bryan Woods)

Where to Watch: Max

Two Mormons knock on the wrong door and find themselves trapped in a deadly, twisted cat-and-mouse game. Heretic may fly under the radar for some, but it’s an absolute gem. The film features Sophie Thatcher’s impressive performance, adding yet another notch to her horror royalty crown. What really sets this movie apart, though, is Hugh Grant’s unhinged portrayal of a character who’ll make you question your perception of him entirely. This psychological thriller will hit you in unexpected ways, and it’s guaranteed to haunt you well after the credits roll.

4. Love Lies Bleeding (dir. Rose Glass)

Where to Watch: Max

Set in the high-stakes world of bodybuilding, Love Lies Bleeding tells the story of a gym manager who becomes entangled in a dangerous romance with a bodybuilder. The film dives deep into themes of obsession, identity, and power, all while showcasing stunning performances by Kristen Stewart and Katy O’Brian. A blend of psychological thriller and body horror, this film is a brutal exploration of ambition and the cost of success. It’s dark, gory, and heartbreakingly real—perfect for fans of A24’s unique brand of horror.

5. Talk to Me (dir. Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou)

Where to Watch: Netflix

When a group of teens use an embalmed hand to summon spirits, they unleash something far darker than they bargained for. Talk to Me quickly became one of the breakout hits of 2023, thanks to its fresh approach to supernatural horror. The movie’s chilling atmosphere, relentless tension, and disturbing moments make it an unforgettable ride. Sophie Wilde’s star-making turn is just one of the many reasons this film should be on your watchlist. Now that it’s available on Netflix, there’s no excuse not to see it.

If A24’s horror films have you hooked, you’re not alone. Whether it’s Everything Everywhere All at Once or their spine-chilling genre entries, the studio has proven time and again that they know how to push boundaries and keep audiences on the edge of their seats. So, grab some popcorn, dim the lights, and prepare for a terrifying binge session with these unforgettable films.
