Woman of the Hour is the scariest movie I’ve seen in 2024 so far and it’s not even a horror


As soon as I found out about Woman of the Hour, I was immediately intrigued. In my trailer reaction back in September, I noted that it was one of my favorite announcements to come out of Netflix Geeked Week. While in some areas I felt disappointed, by the lack of Stranger Things updates, I was thrilled to see Anna Kendrick taking on a much darker project. We’ve seen her at the helm of things like Pitch Perfect and Trolls, and while her opposite Blake Lively in A Simple Favor was more thriller-like in nature, what she does in Woman of the Hour is so creepy, so horrifyingly real, that it became the scariest movie I’ve watched this year.

I’ve watched a lot of horrible (and I mean that in a positive way!) stuff this year. During TechRadar’s Halloween Week, I raved about The Substance and I told everyone how I Saw the TV Glow remains my favorite horror of the year. I still stand by that, but nothing quite got under my skin quite like Kendrick’s directorial debut.
