5 Underappreciated A24 Horror Movies

gamerant.com:

A24 is the studio behind some of the greatest movies of the 21st century. Through hits such as Hereditary, Saint Maud, and The Lighthouse they brought low-budget horrors into the mainstream and made household names out of Ari Aster and Robert Eggers.

Though the titles above have recent release dates, A24 has been operating as a company since 2012 and has backed many horror movies in this time, some of which have gone under the radar. From Under the Skin (2013) to Climax (2018), these are the A24 horrors that deserve more attention.

This Slow-Burn Horror's Most Terrifying Moment Is In Its Final Seconds

Under the Skin, directed by Jonathan Glazer, is a surreal sci-fi horror based on the 2000 Michel Faber novel of the same name. The movie stars Scarlett Johansson as an extraterrestrial being that roams Scotland to hunt unsuspecting men. These victims are then seduced and sent to another dimension where they are stripped and consumed as meat. Intellectually stimulating, it explores feminist themes and gender politics in imaginative ways.

The movie gained mixed reviews from audiences, and it must be said that Under the Skin isn't for everyone; abstract and lacking in dialogue, it perhaps leaves more questions than answers. But those that like a challenge, and movies such as Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and Lynch's Eraserhead are most definitely on to a winner here.

Truly the stuff of nightmares, Tusk is a horror comedy written and directed by Kevin Smith that stars Justin Long as Wallace Bryton, a podcaster who reacts to viral videos with his best friend Teddy (Haley Joel Osment). Searching for his next interviewee, Wallace stumbles upon Howard Howe (Michael Parks), a retired seaman with an unusual appreciation for walruses.
