It was another bustling, not to mention fruitful, year for horror. And because the amount of new horror releases is staggering, especially when looking beyond the popular and commercial side, it is very understandable if a lot of titles flew under radars.

So, like previous years, the objective of this end-of-year list is to bring attention to just ten of those overlooked, underrated, and less-known newer horrors that can be considered hidden gems of 2024.

DIE ALONE:

On the surface, Lowell Dean‘s Die Alone looks to be another rehash of recent post-apocalyptic horrors; here Carrie-Anne Moss fights off plant-based, human-zombie hybrids in the aftermath of a global catastrophe. However, there is more to her character than first let on, and much like A Quiet Place: Day One, this movie zooms in on the emotional element of survival rather than just the action.

When it seems like Die Alone is pinching too many tropes from its contemporaries, a startling turn in the story smooths everything out, including the rough edges.
