Dan Stevens brought so much fun to these gnarly genre movies. He can do anything, and we’re so lucky he chooses these colourful, over-the-top, fantastical gigs.

Which one of these 3 did the most to push the genre forward in 2024? Coralie, who got body-horror all the way to the Oscars, Chris who took a classic 80s slasher format and (literally) turned it inside out, or Jane who used TV nostalgia as a dreamlike lens to explore the pain of repressed identity?

A UK or Irish lens in horror criticism enriches the genre. By exploring issues of identity, trauma, & myth from British and Irish perspectives, we can highlight diverse voices and foster cultural specificity. 📽️👻 If you'd like to join the Horror Critics Group, join us here: www.horrorcritics.group
