Extremely smart and absolutely terrifying

Rating: 10/10 (13 November 2018)

The carefully orchestrated plot, troubled characters, startling mythology, and small key details sprinkled throughout make for an excellent base of the film. Add intricate set design, precise cinematography, horrific imagery, a chillingly beautiful score, and explosively emotional performances (especially to Toni Collette), and you've got yourself a truly unforgettable film. Hereditary is not your typical horror film. It's not the one you watch with a bunch of your friends at a pizza party or one you take a bunch of sensitive girls to see.
It's a genuine horror movie. It's one that slams at your heart and your mind. It's a film that takes full concentration and attention to completely grasp, and if watched intentively, it's a genuinely scary movie; one that makes you feel vulnerable and shook to the core.
The faults people see in the film are out of misunderstanding of the film and not seeing the full picture of what the film was trying to portray.
