Tonight, Sir is coming to bring you coolness.

I guarantee you'll feel cool from the soles of your feet to your heart.



That is to look at:

2024, what the hell is going on?

Click collection first.

This list of horror movies may make you look forward to the second half of the year.



Maxine

MaXXXine

Release date: July 5 (US); available on streaming media on August 2

Anticipation level: ★★★☆



The juice source is online, and fans of the series may have already seen it.

Remember that "awkward but polite" smile at the end of the previous movie "Pearl".

She used an axe to kill her mother who was preventing her from becoming a star, killed her paralyzed and useless father, and stabbed her best friend's crazy friend to death with a fork.

Finally, she smiled with such horror.

The prequel of the movie ends as the husband returns home to see a dead body and maggots all over the floor.



Director Ti West and starring Mia Goth are back for the third film. Five years after Maxine killed a perverted old couple on the farm, she finally realized her dream and came to Hollywood to become a movie star.

But Hollywood is not peaceful for her.

A serial killer is slaughtering young girls in the name of a cult, and Maxine is in his sights...





From the trailer given, it can be seen that the blood plasma is still thick.



In addition, in the given clips, you can also see some horror fans' attributes:

For example, this horror house is exactly the same as "Psycho".





The director mentioned in an interview that when he was shooting this movie, he wanted to add elements of "Psycho" to the "X" series. As one of the greatest horror movies, it is also a classic symbol of Hollywood horror movies.



"Long-legged Monster"

Longlegs

Release date: July 12 (US); streaming on August 27

Expectation level: ★★★



Starring Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage.

With a 100% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it is hailed as "the scariest movie of the past decade."



But Douban gave it a score of 6.0.

The gap is a bit big.

The story begins with an FBI agent investigating a serial murder case. As the case progresses, he discovers that the killer is actually closely connected to himself...

The story is very attractive, especially after the preview, the audience said that the movie has the temperament of "Zodiac", "Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Silence of the Lambs".

Also, the strange characters that can be seen everywhere in the movie, or the book "The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion" about religious customs and taboo rituals found at the crime scene.

The movies are anchored in the story settings of evil religion, murderous information mysteries, and hell and Satan.





It is worth mentioning that this is the second time that Nicolas Cage has collaborated with NEON. The previous film, "Pig Rescue", became his breakthrough screen image.



Thanks to this movie, Nicolas Cage "won" the nomination for Best Redemption Raspberry at the Golden Raspberry Awards (a positive award in the Golden Raspberry Awards), which can be regarded as the audience giving the "King of Bad Movies" another chance.



Alien: Death Stranding

Alien:Romulus

Release date: August 16 in the United States and mainland China

Anticipation level: ★★★☆



Coming soon in summer.

It must be one of your childhood shadows.

It has been rebooted in recent years, with the prequel "Prometheus", followed by "Alien: Covenant", "Alien: Solitude", "Alien: Convergence" and "Alien vs. Predator".

This one is a return to the golden age of Alien.

The timeline comes to the period between "Alien" and "Alien 2": while exploring an abandoned space station, space colonists accidentally encounter the most terrifying monster in the universe, the alien.

I haven't seen you for many years, but you haven't changed at all. I miss you so much.





The main style of the movie is "retro".

Classic shot, classic facehugger.





There is even a scene of a baby being born "bursting out of the belly".





Even in the American version of the trailer, the first generation Alien Iron-blooded female warrior Sigourney Weaver appeared again.

This should be the credit of AI.





Director Fede Alvarez has made "Don't Breathe" (7.2 points) and "The Evil Dead" (6.7 points), both of which are very groundbreaking horror films.

I hope he can live up to everyone's expectations this time and not rehash old stuff.



Deadly AI

Afraid

Release date: August 30, US

Expectation level: ★★★



As soon as you see the title of the movie, you know: AI attacks the human world, which is a well-known story.

The production company Blumhoues is also a well-known horror film production company in the United States. Movies such as "The Purge", "Get Out", "Split", "Happy Death Day" and "Megan" are all representative works of this company.

So, there is this background of a hardcore horror company.

Whether the story of "Deadly AI" can put new wine in old bottles remains to be seen.

Among the actors, there is our familiar old friend "Hollywood Jay Chou": John Cho, whose 2018 "Searching" must have left a deep impression on many people.

The story of "Deadly AI" is still relatively old-fashioned, a perfect family of four.



AI has entered their lives.

She helps them with housework, takes care of the children, and even helps her eldest daughter deal with nude photos that were accidentally uploaded online.



Including, dealing with people who upload nude photos...



The final ending of the story is naturally a battle between humans and AI, and how to escape the control of "whole-house intelligence".

In the movies, it seems that humans always defeat AI and regain control of their lives.

But, you in reality.

Can you escape?





"Don't Say Nothing"

Speak No Evil

Release date: (US) September 13; (China) September 14

Anticipation level: ★★★★



The release date in mainland China has been set, and the scale is safe.

Three reasons you can’t refuse:

1. As mentioned above, this is another masterpiece from the famous horror film production company Blumhoues.

2. The new work of director James Watkins, "Eden Lake", the "bad kid" movie that almost scared Sir to death.



3. "Yimei" is making another horror movie.

Ever since his "Split", Sir has been unable to look Yimei in the eyes.

The child is afraid.



△ Screenshot of "Split"

In the trailer of "Don't Say Nothing", he is chatting with you very kindly in the previous second, and in the next second he gives you a terrifying smile.

Yimei is completely adapted to horror movies.



This movie tells the story of a family being invited to a secluded cabin for vacation, but there are terrible secrets hidden in this room. It looks like a beautiful paradise, but it is actually a killing scene...

In the trailer, the little boy who had been silent all of a sudden opened his mouth in pain and made a scissors shape with his hands.

Could it be...

Don’t say anything inappropriate, and cut it off to cure it forever?





"Something Substance"

The Subsance

Release date: September 20 (USA)

Anticipation level: ★★★★

The trailer was released a few days ago, and it is scheduled to be released in North America on September 20th.

As a hot favorite at the Cannes Film Festival, the scenes of blood splattering on the big screen are particularly refreshing and satisfying to watch.

The story takes place in Hollywood, where male chauvinism is everywhere. Female stars are eliminated from the market after they reach the age of 60. Who doesn't desire to obtain sexy and sweet young bodies and return to the top of the stage?



A drug called "a certain substance" appears. Once injected into your body, a better "self" will be born from your original skin.



The new self has the old memories, but also has its own new consciousness.

In order to balance the "nutrition" of the two bodies, the new body must extract nutrients from the old body in order to maintain the functioning of the young body.

But if this balance is broken, a monster will crawl out of hell on earth.

The director found Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley to play the new and old bodies respectively.

The match between the two actors is sexy and gory.

And in the end, what becomes of the beautiful body after it is devoured by greed?





Sir, don’t say much.

Probably the bloodiest and most disgusting movie you'll see this year.



Apartment 7A

Apartment 7A

Release date: October in the United States

Anticipation level: ★★★☆



Everyone has caught a lot of black carp.

Although the poster and name of Apartment 7A are so simple and plain, it has a powerful buff:

Rosemary's Baby Prequel.

Roman Polanski's "Rosemary's Baby", after its release in 1968, still has a high Douban score of 8.2, which exceeds 99% of horror films.



Roman Polanski never thought that this movie would have such a huge impact on his life. A year after the movie was released, an evil organization called "Manson Family" killed Polanski's eight-month pregnant wife. The news caused a sensation.

This bloody incident adds even more bloodiness to "Rosemary's Baby".

In the movie, the heroine Rosemary, after moving into a new apartment with her husband, became pregnant soon after. She began to have strange dreams frequently and always felt that bad guys were trying to harm her.

Could it be the wild thoughts caused by prenatal anxiety?

The result is that what you fear will come true.



The story of Apartment 7A is about what happened before Rosemary moved into the apartment:

After an injury, a dancer finds herself drawn to a dark force, but an eccentric old couple promises her overnight fame.



This should be another story about selling one's soul to the devil.

Director Natalie Erica James’ previous performances were relatively mediocre.

Four years ago, "Lost" tried to imitate "Hereditary", but it still failed miserably and only scored 5.3 points.

Can we continue Roman Polanski's glory?

It’s a little hard to watch, but who can resist a prequel?





The Platform 2

EI hoyo2

Release date: Netflix (Spain) October 4

Expectation level: ★★★



As a high-concept movie, it is not easy for "The Platform" to have reached the second part.

If you are not careful, it is easy to create a texture that looks like a poor imitation.

Therefore, the horror elements in the second trailer are doubled and increased.

It no longer satisfies the previous settings:

The dining tables are lowered layer by layer to feed the people on the top floor.

The leftovers on the table continue to feed the next layer of people, and the next layer, and the next layer...

Until those at the bottom have no food to eat.



And in the trailer for the second movie.

The table did not appear.

What was thrown from a height was no longer food, but more like a person.



Of course, maybe this is just a gimmick in the trailer.

But, in other plots of the movie:

In this pizza, the raised parts look like fingers;

Or this red vomited liquid;





It seems to be saying that "The Platform 2" has arrived in a more obvious "cannibalism" society.



Videotape: Beyond

V/H/S/Beyond

Release date: October 4, US

Anticipation level: ★★★☆



A horror movie IP that releases a new one every year.

There is also a very stable fan base.

Although the horror film is mainly shot in the form of a pseudo-documentary, this routine will always make people feel a little tired after using it for a long time.

However, Sir had watched "Videotape 94" before, and was still frightened by the extremely inhumane scenes in it.

This series always has unexpected settings, and it will always touch your bottom line.

Therefore, viewers who like heavy-tasting, bloody and documentary horror films are in luck.



The theme of "Video: Beyond" is a little different from usual. It focuses on science fiction and horror. The movie tells a total of six short stories, and the scenes are set in outer space (no wonder the poster is themed on space suits).

How exciting can this be?

(Listen to Sir's advice, the timid ones should do what they can.)



"Deadly Smile 2"

Smile 2

Release date: October 18, US

Expectation level: ★★★



Horror movies are getting more and more fancy.

A Quiet Place doesn’t make any sound.

But "Deadly Smile" is not meant to make you laugh.

People will be controlled by the scary smile, and finally, they will be controlled by the mysterious scary power.

The end result is:

"Died of laughter".

The sometimes unexpected jump scares in the first film can achieve a scary effect.

But sometimes it's really, a bit clumsy.



I hope the director can make some improvements in the second part.

"Smile 2" is directed by Parker Finn, the director of the previous film, and the protagonist has changed from a doctor to a singer.

She was about to be exposed to more people.

She couldn't tell whether those who smiled at her were real or fake.





Looking at this version of the trailer, it remains to be determined whether it will be introduced to mainland China.

It would indeed be quite "refreshing" if you could watch this horror movie on the big screen.



"The Clown 3"

Terrifier 3

Release date: October 25 in the United States

Anticipation level: ★★★☆



Chicken soup says it well: What doesn’t kill you will always make you stronger.

In the "The Clown" series, it should be: If it can't be killed, it will always make your heart stronger.

For the horror film industry, the "Joker" series will always be YYDs.

The white face hides an expression that you can never figure out;

You don’t know the meaning of that mysterious smile in the big red mouth.



△ IT

And the "clown ghost" seems to be immortal.

He will unexpectedly appear in various places in the city, trying to make you laugh with his not-so-funny actions.

Is not funny?

Who dares not to laugh.



Since the first "The Clown" was released in 2017, horror fans have been obsessed with this perverted clown wearing a white mask and killing people whenever he wants.

A B-level cult film, with blood splattering everywhere and the killing methods are even more perverted.

He is different from previous clowns. He doesn’t have a red nose, but only a white mask and a mouthful of sharp teeth. He looks like a skeleton in the dark, which makes people feel terrified.

This year, "The Clown King" turns the warm Christmas into a horrific night of murder.



Playing "Blood Angels" in blood plasma is a thorough cult and an offense to religion.

no way.

He won't die.

He will always be the devil incarnate.





Return to Silent Hill

Return to Silent Hill

Release date: TBD

Anticipation level: ★★★★☆



"Silent Hill" director Christophe Gans personally took action.

The story is not complicated. The protagonist goes to a small town for his lover and encounters a terrifying vision.

The 50-meter-long machete is back again, and it’s no exaggeration to say it’s the most anticipated item of the year.





What else is there to say? Come on, brother, chop me up.



The Unfortunate Family

Sayuri

Release date: August 23, Japan

Expectation level: ★★★



Japan, a major horror film producer, is having a weak year this year.

"The House of Unhappiness" is a film worth looking forward to.

A family of seven moved into a new home, but people started dying one after another... After watching the trailer, it seemed scary enough. I don't ask for too much, as long as the story is believable.





Nosferatu

Nosferatu

Release date: December 25 in the United States

Anticipation level: ★★★★



The reason why I look forward to the vampire filming again and again is because of him:

Director Robert Eggers, who has directed "The Lighthouse" and "The Witch", is definitely a new star in today's horror films.





In this new film, a girl possessed by a ghost and a vampire lord seem to be about to spark love.



The above 14 are the horror films to be released in the second half of the year.

That's it.

Why not pick the one you like best and go to sleep together tonight.

Let it come in advance in dreams.
