Hereditary was one of my favorite pics that year, but this did not click with me one bit
The beginning showed promise, that shocking early scene before the trip had me excited for that tangible sense of terror that was done so well in Hereditary, but then it didn't happen.
I felt there was way too much of a slow burn with this one, and there was never any pay off. Sure, there's a few disturbing images, but nothing close to THAT scene or the last thirty minutes of Hereditary.
Florence Pugh turned in great work, as did most of the cult, but I thought the rest of the performances were either dull, like Jack Reynor, or annoying, like the comic relief friend.
I was expecting to be shocked and disturbed like i was watching Hereditary, instead I was just bored.
This and Godzilla are the biggest disappointments of the year for me.
