Don't let the trailer fool you

Rating: 6/10 (28 June 2018)

I love scary movies. I love supernatural movies. I did not love this movie. Sure, this movie had some great unexpected plot twists, but you know what it also has? Plot holes....and so many. This to me can make or break a movie (sigh). No one I knew had seen the movie before me, so I had great expectations and the trailer made the movie look amazing. But as I'm watching Hereditary, I can't help but think, but what about this? Or where did this person go? And so on. There were some jump scares that I did appreciate about the film. I do admit that I may have been seeing parts of the film through the thin material of my sweatshirt's hoodie. Hereditary had some great parts, but as a whole, it was lackluster. I liked the concept but the portrayal could have been better.
