The year 2024 delivered a wealth of supernatural and paranormal-themed films, from terrifying tales of possession to long-awaited franchise sequels. Here's a rundown of the best supernatural movies of the year, blending horror, mystery, and the unknown.

10. 'Tarot'

A group of friends pays a steep price when they disregard the sacred rules of Tarot readings, unleashing an unspeakable evil trapped within the cards. As fate closes in, they find themselves in a desperate race against death. Loosely based on the 1992 novel Horrorscope by Nicholas Adams, Tarot combines occult horror with gripping suspense.

9. 'The Deliverance'

Inspired by the chilling real-life Latoya Ammons possession case, The Deliverance centres on an Indiana family besieged by demonic forces, drawing their community into a harrowing fight against evil. With Lee Daniels at the helm, this film combines haunting visuals with a compelling exploration of faith and resilience.

8. 'Salem's Lot'

Stephen King's classic novel returns to the big screen, as an author discovers his hometown of Jerusalem's Lot is overrun by a bloodthirsty vampire. This haunting tale of small-town terror and survival is elevated by Gary Dauberman's direction, offering a faithful yet modern adaptation of King's work.

7. 'Apartment 7A'

This Paramount+ release serves as a prequel to the iconic Rosemary's Baby (1968). A struggling young dancer becomes ensnared by dark forces after meeting a mysterious older couple promising fame. Director Natalie Erika James crafts a chilling backstory to one of horror's most enduring films.

6. 'The Program'

In an era of escalating government disclosure about UFOs - now referred to as UAP - The Program examines the bipartisan effort to uncover what intelligence agencies truly know about these phenomena. This gripping documentary-style film is a must-watch for anyone intrigued by the mystery of extraterrestrial life.

5. 'A Quiet Place: Day One'

The origins of the deadly invasion are explored as Sam, a young woman, fights for survival in New York City amidst the chaos. This tense prequel to A Quiet Place expands the franchise's lore while retaining its signature nerve-shredding suspense.

4. 'The First Omen'

Set in 1971, just before the events of The Omen (1976), this prequel explores the chilling beginnings of a conspiracy aimed at ushering in the birth of evil incarnate. A young woman's faith is tested as she uncovers a sinister darkness in the heart of Rome.

3. 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice'

One of 2024's highest-grossing films, this sequel sees the Deetz family confronting their haunted past. Lydia's teenage daughter, Astrid, inadvertently reopens the portal to the Afterlife, unleashing chaos. Michael Keaton's return as the mischievous Beetlejuice is both nostalgic and delightfully chaotic.

2. 'Alien: Romulus'

Fede Alvarez breathes new life into the Alien franchise with this gripping story of young colonists who face unimaginable horrors aboard a derelict space station. With practical effects and a return to the series' roots, Alien: Romulus is an intense, claustrophobic thrill ride.

1. 'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire'

Topping the list is the long-anticipated sequel that brings together Ghostbusters old and new. When an ancient artefact unleashes a force threatening to trigger a second ice age, the team must unite to save the world. Released 40 years after the original Ghostbusters (1984).
