One Of The Better Recent Horror Films

Rating: 7/10 (30 March 2019)

For a horror film to keep you guessing is quite a feat these days and for it still to have frights and shocks definitely makes 'Hereditary' worth watching. So it does get a bit overwrought in places, the filming and the soundtrack get overly portentous but it is a psychological horror. Better those things than predictable slashings and special effect blood letting for gores sake. The film builds well and although I was thinking Toni Collette was over playing her part at first was she. Perhaps the very end was a bit hammer horror but again I live with that for how we got there.
