Embarrassing disaster, don't believe the hype!!!

Rating: 1/10 (17 June 2018)

As a horror fan, I have been waiting for this movie for months after seeing the very good trailee and all the hype from festivals. My favourite horror movies are The Exorcist and The Shining so seeing all these reviews comparing Hereditary to both I was hoping for a new horror masterpiece. Well wow. After an interesting but far from scary first hour, the movie descends into a ridiculous, over the top, laughable mess that was embarrassing to watch. Yes the acting is good, at least until **SPOILER ALERT** the "seances" and it all goes downhill from there. The ending was so awful and stupid that I could not believe that was it. Really??? The stupid demon thing with the crown and everything, with the music volume turned to 11 as if it would make it scary??? It was laughable. And many in the cinema were laughing. I wasn't - spending Â£12 for such a turkey is no laughing matter. Avoid like the plague!!
