Hereditary

About This Movie

Hereditary is this unsettling dive into family trauma, layered with an atmosphere thick enough to cut. A24 knows how to do slow burn, and Ari Aster really delivers here. The pacing is deliberate, almost suffocating at times, which works in its favor as it builds an oppressive dread. Toni Collette gives a hauntingly raw performance—her emotional range really makes you feel the weight of their grief and paranoia. The practical effects are chilling, grounding the supernatural elements in a believable reality that amplifies the horror. Plus, the themes of inheritance and the inescapable nature of family legacy linger long after the credits roll. It's not just a horror flick; it’s a psychological unraveling that sticks with you.
