2024 has had a fair few horror films that have got people talking and screaming about. From killer clowns to unnerving smiles, let's discuss the best horror films to come out so far…
Terrifier 3
Terrifer has become a worldwide phenomenon since the first one's release in 2016 which was praised for its blood drenched kills on such a low budget and for the now iconic killer ‘Art the Clown’. With the third instalment now in cinemas, it has caused quite the controversy as did the previous instalments for its excessive use of gore and the creativeness of its kills.
I had the fortune of watching Terrifier 3 in the cinemas and from my experience with the film, it upped the brutality from the previous instalment by 10, it will make you feel sick to your stomach and gasping with shock. If you’re a fan of gory films, this one will definitely keep you entertained.

Smile 2
Smile 2 is the latest horror film to be released and so far has met rave reviews from critics and audience alike. With Smile releasing in 2022 based on a short film, it became one of the most talked about horrors to come out that year as people praised its jumpscare and unnerving feeling it created for the audience, but did Smile 2 do the same?
Smile 2 follows a similar premise to the first one as pop star Skye is about to begin her world tour when she begins to experience unimaginable terror in the form of nightmarish smiles tormenting her everywhere she goes, sending her into a downward spiral.
This film is absolutely terrifying from start to finish, the use of sound and atmosphere creates a state of fear for the audience where you don’t know when one jumpscare will lead to the next. Although it doesn’t bring anything new to the franchise and follows the same formula as the previous one, it still makes for a chilling good time and will leave you too scared to sleep.
