‘FOUNDERS DAY’
Release Date: January 19, 2024
Where to Watch: Limited Theatrical Release
Rating: R
Another early 2024 horror release is Founders Day, a slasher film with a twist directed by the talented Erik Bloomquist. A small town is preparing for its mayoral election when a series of mysterious killings takes place. Will the citizens be able to uncover the truth before the slasher gets to them? Based on the film’s plot summary, it’s giving a similar vibe as American Horror Story: Cult, which fantastically melds horror and politics into one.

Move over, M. Night Shyamalan, we’ve got a new director in town! Just kidding, but Shyamalan’s daughter, Ishana Shyamalan, will be making her directorial debut with the 2024 horror mystery, The Watchers. Dakota Fanning will star as an artist that is stranded in the deep, unknowing forest, with seemingly no way out. And if that wasn’t scary enough, there are also mysterious creatures with their eyes on her, and they aren’t friendly.

Rating: NR (will update as information is announced)
Another A Quiet Place movie will be released in the summer of 2024, and fans already can’t wait. Fans have become totally intrigued with the silent and horrifying world created by John Kasinski, and this spinoff will give us even more of a view into it. While not much has been revealed yet, we expect the film to get into how the aliens ended up wreaking horror and havoc on Earth in the first place.
