Hereditary
If it weren't for the physical traits we inherit from our parents plastic surgeons would be out of work.
However, that which is intrinsic in this horror movie cannot be resculpted.
Shortly after her mother's funeral, Annie (Toni Collette) loses her daughter in an accident caused by her son Peter (Alex Wolff). While the father (Gabriel Byrne) tries to keep the family from imploding, Annie holds sÃ©ances to reach her deceased offspring and Peter self-harms to cope with the guilt.
But over time the grandmother's shadowy past begins to shed light on the family's current turmoil.
While it starts off with some strong performances, inventive camera work and shocking imagery, things quickly go down hill from there: the pace slows to a crawl, the acting curdles and the plot becomes incoherent, bordering on comical.
Lastly, even if insanity doesn't run in your family, they can still give it to you. Red Light
