Not a film for the faint of heart

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2018)

The horror genre is moving in the right direction, with films like Get Out, It, and A Quiet Place doing so well. I'm happy to see that many studios are taking note of this and breaking away from the cookie cutter horror formula, and taking risks. In Hereditary, the risk was in making your audience truly disturbed. If anyone went into that movie expecting the classic suspense to jump scare combo, they left completely shook and distrusting of any future horror films. Hereditary kept me guessing between two possible outcomes the entire time. Truly horrifying.
