The Neon Demon poster

Why people love it

The Neon Demon (2016) stuck because it commits to its horror premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Nicolas Winding Refn's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The film leans hard into its core genre, which is exactly what fans say they wanted more of from blockbusters in that era.
