Ari Astor’s Hereditary is a masterpiece of horror that will shock you to your core. The film, that was made in 2018, was nominated for 104 awards and won 44 according to IMDb. It grossed over $80 million with a $10 million budget.
The film follows “A grieving family” that “is haunted by tragic and disturbing occurrences.” Without spoiling the film, it is absolutely phenomenal! All the subtle noises and haunting images help pull you into the film and truly scare you. I’m not one to find myself terrified after watching horror films, but this film left me feeling uneasy and disturbed.
The acting from Alex Wolff and Toni Collette really brings their characters to life and helps add depth to the story. Their chemistry as a mother and son as well as their fellow cast members help create a realistic family dynamic. This film may require a few watches due to small details that may not be caught on first watch but I find this film to be highly rewarding, especially to those who are fans of the genre.
