More Weird Than Scary

Rating: 6/10 (9 June 2018)

I saw "Hereditary", starring Toni Collette-XXX:Return of Xander Cage, Tammy; Gabriel Byrne-The 33, End of Days; Alex Wolff-Jumanji:Welcome to the Jungle, Patriots Day and Milly Shapiro-this is her movie debut.
This is a horror movie that is more weird than scary. It has it's moments but then something will happen that just doesn't make sense. Toni & Gabriel are a married couple with two kids, Alex & Milly. Toni's mother dies after a long illness but most of the family members don't seem to care that much about their loss-Toni was estranged from her mother. The only one that got along with the elderly lady was Milly, and Milly is a little off herself-she likes to draw weird pictures, cut the heads off of dead birds and then put them in her pocket. Oh yeah, she also likes to make a strange clicking noise with her mouth. Oh yeah, the loosing heads bit is a recurring theme throughout the movie-more than one person looses their head before it's all over. Toni even goes to counseling to find out why she doesn't care about her mother and unravels past secrets that are being passed down through her and her family-I guess that hereditary issues are the hardest ones to correct.
It's rated "R" for horror violence, disturbing images, language, drug use and nudity and has a running time of 2 hours & 7 minutes.
It's not one that I'd buy on DVD. It would be alright, as a rental.
