I watched every A24 horror movie available on streaming services and ranked them from worst to best

Production company A24 has become a staple among horror fans. You've no doubt seen at least one movie of theirs, with huge directors like Ari Aster, Alex Garland, and Denis Villeneuve all having movies in their impressive catalog.

As a huge fan of A24 horror movies in particular, I was keen to track down all the ones that are currently streaming so I could give my verdict on them, and whether I think they're worth seeking out in 2026.

Ranking this list was no easy task, even though I did know what my number one choice was going to be pretty quickly.

Please note that this only includes A24 movies you can watch on the best streaming services or the best free streaming services (at the time of writing), so this is not a definitive list of them all.

This is a hotly debated topic, so I would be keen to know which A24 horror movie is your favorite and why. Let me know in the comments when you're done reading mine.

A24 horror movies ranked: 31 - 25

31. The Front Room

Where to stream: HBO Max (US), NOWTV (UK)

The Front Room has the potential to be something greater than it is, but I was left feeling very disappointed by the end result. It's the feature film debut for Max and Sam Eggers, but they haven't quite managed to follow in their brother Robert's footsteps here.

In this movie, Brandy plays a heavily pregnant woman who struggles when her overbearing mother-in-law moves in. It takes a terrifying turn when she realizes that she is a threat to her baby, but unfortunately, the movie didn't stick the landing for me due to silly gross-out scares and poorly written characters.

30. Y2K

Where to stream: HBO Max (US), NOWTV (UK), Netflix (Australia)

Even Rachel Zegler can't save Y2K , which is definitely one of A24's worst movies. I really liked the plot because it follows machines rising up against humanity during a New Year's Eve party, but it's all over the place and isn't executed well.

From humor that doesn't land to constant tonal shifts, Y2K has been widely panned by critics and audiences alike. There's also some jarring celebrity cameos that didn't really work, and so Y2K is very far down on my list for many reasons.

29. False Positive

Where to stream: Hulu (US), NOWTV (UK)

False Positive was a disappointment for me, mostly due to the frustrating pacing issues throughout the film. It seems to drag before barreling towards a chaotic ending, which could have been fleshed out a lot better. Pierce Brosnan's star power was wasted here.

The plot is also predictable as we follow a couple, Lucy and Adrian, who have been trying to conceive. When they meet a fertility doctor, they think their prayers have been answered, but when Lucy falls pregnant, she begins to uncover some dark secrets about the doctor. Honestly, you can easily predict the ending, meaning this was a huge miss for me.

28. Opus

Where to stream: HBO Max (US, UK), Netflix (Australia)

Many considered Opus to be a misfire for A24, but I didn't hate it as much as some people did. It's still not super high on my list, but I certainly hated it less than the three above.

Opus follows a journalist who travels to the remote compound of a legendary pop star who mysteriously disappeared 30 years ago. But when she gets there, dangerous things start happening. I loved John Malkovich in this movie, and I also loved how uncomfortable it was in examining obsessive fan culture.

27. Death of a Unicorn

Where to stream: HBO Max (US), Prime Video (UK), Hoopla (Australia)

I really wanted to like Death of a Unicorn more than I did. Much like the critics' consensus for this, I'm very on the fence when it comes to this A24 movie. The cast is undoubtedly fantastic as we follow characters played by Jenna Ortega, Paul Rudd, Will Poulter, and Richard E. Grant.

The movie centers around a father and daughter who accidentally hit and kill a unicorn while en route to find a billionaire's house, who seeks to exploit the creature's miraculous regenerative properties. Unfortunately for them, there are other unicorns out there, and they want revenge. It's a silly creature feature, really, but that's all part of the charm.

26. Beau Is Afraid

Where to stream: Channel 4 (UK), Prime Video (Australia)

Beau is Afraid is a lengthy, surreal movie by Ari Aster, and as a result, it's also very divisive. Joaquin Phoenix stars as the titular character, a paranoid and very anxious man who must travel to his mother's funeral, resulting in a surreal journey of self-discovery.

It really does feel like a 3-hour anxiety attack, and Phoenix always delivers. While Beau Is Afraid didn't quite do enough to rank higher for me, I did like a lot about it, even if it did get a bit too surreal for me at times. But that's simply a preference thing and not a comment on the quality of the filmmaking.

25. Under the Skin

Where to stream: Netflix (US), StudioCanal Presents (UK), SBS on Demand (Australia)

Under the Skin has a loyal fanbase, and on the surface, it sounds great. But one could argue the movie feels too pretentious at times, and you'll have to be prepared for it to be very slow without much of a conventional plot, too.

Aside from that, it's a solid effort. Scarlett Johansson plays an extraterrestrial disguised as a young woman. We follow her as she drives around Scotland and seduces lonely men. It's very different from Johansson's other work, and she delivers a great performance here, as do the other cast members, many of whom had no acting experience before this.

A24 horror movies ranked: 24 - 19

24. Men

Where to stream: YouTube TV (US), Stan (Australia)

Most people I speak to about Men seem to hate it, but come on, it's not that bad . I'm happy to have it in my top 25 because it's a perfectly fine horror movie, if you're willing to look past a narrative that is often described as pretentious and full of abstract symbolism.

The movie stars Jessie Buckley as Harper, a recently widowed woman who travels to a small village for a solo trip to heal. Whilst...
