From 'Bodies Bodies' to 'Midsommar', the best A24 horror movies, ranked

Over the past decade, A24 films have become synonymous with elevated storytelling dripping with symbolism. The studio prides itself on producing unique and compelling stories that make its audience think about the film on many levels to understand just how deep the film's message is.

Some A24 movies are completely offbeat, like 2014's 'Tusk', which has been compared to a softer 'The Human Centipede' as it explores a slowly fitting podcaster in a walrus suit made of human parts . This film focuses almost entirely on the gross body horror that accompanies the man's forced transformation. Other offerings from the indie studio are much more conceptual, like 2022's "Men," which tells the story of a woman going on vacation to get away from the horrors of a recent tragedy. The longer the woman stays in her small, secluded retreat, the more she sees the same man in different people, all of which haunt her. Although the film is grotesque and confusing at times, it is a metaphor for the endless cycle of toxic men being raised in the world.

While A24 has a wide variety of offerings, ranging from the simplistic and gross to the highly conceptual, it's not hard to argue that some of the best horror movies in recent memory, like "Midsommar" and "Pearl", came out of the production company. Here is our ranking of the 10 best A24 horror movies.
