Underwhelming horror movie

Rating: 6/10 (4 November 2018)

Watched Hereditary with a friend. Both of us are fans of good horror, and had high hopes after reading good reviews. With a metascore of 87 we felt we could be in for a treat. However, the movie failed to grip us in any way. It was a long slow journey towards a disappointing end. Tension starts to build at certain points, but lets up too quick and we loose a bit interest in the characters as the movie progresses.
The actors do a good job, but sometimes direction have them overact and that looses some of the impact. Some scenes are horrific, others almost comical. Can't recommend Hereditary to horror fans, but if you want a "different" sort of family drama with a satanic theme, give it a try and see what you think.
