5 Bloodiest Horror Movie Scenes Of 2024

From Navarro’s chestbreaker in Alien: Romulus to the degradation on the stage of Monstro Elisasue in The substanceThe horror movies of 2024 were full of blood and gore. This has been a truly fantastic year for horror movies. I saw the television shine addressed poignant social issues, A Quiet Place: Day One offered a surprisingly character-driven perspective on the apocalypse, and Trap I saw M. Night Shyamalan at his most Shyamalan (for better or worse).

And 2024 didn’t just bring great horror movies; produced blood-soaked horror films. long legs has a scene where the eponymous serial killer paints a police interrogation room with his own blood. Under Paris has a scene where swimmers in a triathlon are served to a hungry shark. This year’s horror movies offered some extremely gory sequences.

5 The triathlon massacre

Under Paris

As the bloodthirsty shark Lilith makes her way into the Seine River in Under Paristhe corrupt mayor of the city, in the tradition of JawsMayor Vaughn refuses to cancel an upcoming triathlon because she would rather risk the lives of her citizens than lose business or publicity. Unsurprisingly, this decision comes back to bite her when Lilith arrives on the scene during the bath. With a buffet of swimmers to enjoy, Lilith feasts.

The Seine turns red with blood as Lilith makes her way through dozens of swimmers. There’s a great overhead shot of Lilith breaking through the surface with an unsuspecting swimmer caught in her jaws. This sequence plays out like a much bloodier and gratuitous version of Jaws‘Beach scene. Jaws He didn’t have the money or the CGI to kill that many people.

As killer Johnny goes on a killing spree of teenagers in a throwback to classic slashers, there are plenty of brutal murders in In a violent nature. Colt is hacked to death with an axe. Ehren is nailed to a tree with a handsaw. The Ranger’s head is cut off with a wood splitter. But the bloodiest death in the film is reserved for Aurora. Aurora’s death could have been split into a few different deaths, but she’s unlucky enough to have them all in a row.

Johnny corners Aurora on the edge of a cliff. As she tries to flee, he stabs her in the stomach, then sinks the hook into her head and pulls the chain through her body, breaking her spine and pulling her head into her stomach. It is one of the most creative murders in the entire slasher genre.

3 Longlegs crash their faces into a table

For the most part, Osgood Perkins long legs It’s not so much gory as disturbing. He terrifies his audience by showing them the consequences of horrible murders and the events surrounding them, not so much the murders themselves. It’s more of a chilling crime thriller like The silence of the lambs Than a blood-soaked slasher like Nightmare on Elm Street. But there is a surprisingly gory sequence about halfway through the film.

After “Longlegs” killer Dale Ferdinand Kobble is captured, Lee joins him in an interrogation room to interrogate him, but doesn’t get much information from him. All he tells her is that he serves Satan before slamming his face into the table and taking his own life in gruesome fashion. He paints the room with his own blood – talk about a shocking sequence.

2 Navarro’s Chestbreaker

Alien: Romulus

Aileen Wu's Navarro Uses Medical Device To Scan Her Chest With Red Light In Alien Romulus Trailer

The fishbreaker in the original Foreign The film is one of the most iconic gore sequences in horror film history. He pushed the boundaries of on-screen bloodshed and really caught audiences off guard in 1979. 45 years later, Fede Álvarez managed to take the gore even further with his own sickening breast-explosion sequence in Alien: Romulus. As soon as a facehugger latched onto Navarro, longtime fans of the franchise knew it was doomed.

Within moments, a baby xenomorph tries to crawl out of her chest. Thanks to an ingenious scanning device, Navarro can see how the little alien destroys his own ribcage silhouette. Kay frantically tries to help her friend before a plume of blood spurts all over her face. This scene was spoiled by the trailer, but it still hits very hard.

1 The monster Elisasue takes the stage

The substance

Coralie Fargeat’s first feature film, RevengeIt ended with a bloodbath, so it was fitting for his second film. The substanceto end another bloodbath. When Sue begins to fall apart on the eve of her live television star performance, she rushes home to try to fix it. She ignores the rules of the Substance and takes the Activator serum a second time, only to be reincarnated as “Monster Elisasue”, a grotesque amalgamation of all the absurd male fantasies that have been mentioned by the sleazy Hollywood suits throughout the film. .

The gruesome spectacle of Monstro Elisasue is one of the greatest prosthetic effects in the history of body horror. When he takes the stage in front of horrified spectators, he begins to disintegrate and sprays the audience with gallons of blood. This blood-soaked ending is reminiscent of the prom scene in Brian De Palma’s film. Carrie; It’s sickeningly gruesome, but also deeply tragic.
