I was not expecting this. At all. I went into this movie blind and held off on it for a while. It was damn well worth the wait.
As a lifelong horror fan I found Hereditary to be an unsettling, truly scary masterpiece that I watched with baited breath. Seriously.
I watched it with my two brothers who are just as big horror fans as me and they both agreed that this movie was terrifying and unnerving.
I felt like the movie has sunk its claws in me especially by the half-way point where I felt like I was at the mercy of the film. I felt uneasy during every scene and little touches (which to me felt intentional) like people just walking around in the background had me on edge. I felt like I didn't know where the scares were gonna come from. I felt like I didn't know where the threat was. The tension was palpable and I felt myself basically holding my breath during many scenes. My brothers echoed this feeling.
This movie was ruthless.
I think this may be the scariest movie I've seen since Jacob's Ladder.
To me this movie is really special, an instant classic. This movie was nothing but misery and put every member of the family through hell.
Oh and the soundtrack? Utterly fantastic from start to end.
Brilliant cinematography, and I dig the surreal tone the movie brings.
This movie gave me pretty heavy The Witch and Suspiria (the remake) vibes, especially with that ending.
Toni Colette deserves ALL the awards, WOW. What a performance. I knew she was awesome since The Sixth Sense but this performance must have been particularly draining.
This movie made me scared of the dark again.
Especially the second half of this movie is almost like particularly tense scenes in Willow Creek and Annihilation, just that they maintain this level of terror and tension for more than a fucking HOUR.
I straight up would not have watched this alone at night, I would have shut this fuckin' thing off.
Apparently audiences didn't like this???? Was it too dark for general audiences?
I'm curious as to your thoughts on this movie.
