Pure emotional terrorism of the highest order. Wow!

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2018)

Let me start off by saying I have been a fan of horror for a long time. I am 35 years old and have seen my share of horror films but nothing prepared me for the emotional workout this film provided. I have never experienced the range of emotion this movie draws out. I cried, laughed, shrieked, felt pity, sympathy, shocked, jumped and watched in horror as the slow burn of a plot turned the screws.
Ari Aster's phenomenal directorial debut is an old-schooled filmed horror movie dressed up as a family drama, that if one can get into it will be blessed with one the greatest horror films of all time and one of the best films of the year so far.
