"It’s about to be a good stretch of time for theatrical horror releases, as two of the best horror movies of the year are arriving. That would be Speak No Evil and The Substance, where reviews have now come in almost simultaneously, and these are now two of the best-reviewed horror movies of the year.

Speak No Evil has an 88% score on Rotten Tomatoes while The Substance has a 92%. In the context of well scored horror releases in 2024, that means the overall list is:

Late Night with the Devil – 97%
Oddity – 96%
Infested – 96%
Strange Darling – 95%
In Flames – 95%
New Life – 94%
The Substance 92%
Stopmotion – 91%
The Devil’s Bath 90%
Speak No Evil – 88%

So, both are in the top ten, though I would give the caveat that many of these are much smaller releases, and Speak No Evil boasts an A-lister like James McAvoy and The Substance has Demi Moore, Dennis Quaid and Margaret Qualley. In other words if you’re looking for “big” horror movies (not to say they’re better than the rest on this list), these are that. Other wide release horror films like Longlegs, A Quiet Place Day One and Trap did not review this well..."

I'm really looking forward to substance and will catch Speak No Evil too in the next week or so (but I will try and watch most horror movies in the cinema whether they look good or not - these are both getting solid reviews which is heartening). Looks like we've got a good run up to Halloween - I'm already booked in for the Terrifier double bill ahead of the release of the third movie and will be going to see the anniversary screening of Shaun of the Dead when I can free up a booking slot.
