The first horror movie of 2025 has been released in theaters, and it is debuting to a strong Rotten Tomatoes score. 2024 was a good year for horror movies, with A Quiet Place: Day One, Smile 2, and Alien: Romulus leading the way with critical acclaim and box office success. Each turned a profit by thrilling audiences and using strong word-of-mouth to draw viewers to theaters. Notably, every one of these releases was also related to a pre-existing franchise. That happened to track with other genre trends, as the rest of the box office faced similar sequel and prequel success.
