Rubbish. As far from a masterpiece as possible.

Rating: 3/10 (11 June 2018)

Probably the worst movie-going experience of 2018 for me and I pretty much see all the releases week to week.....yes.....even worse than Fifty Shades of Nothing. Even that was more terrifying.
The first 40% of the film is dedicated to showing nothing in particular, backed by a horror genre standard screechy, whiny score that tries to inject some tension into the film's bland characters doing absolutely nothing.
The problem with this movie for me is that it spends over two hours telling a story that goes nowhere, character arcs that develop nowhere and ultimately throwing in a mystical twist that borders on ridiculous. Performances were over the top, comically overdone especially Toni Collett and Alex Wolff.
Put it this way, if you are a God fearing Christian and even the mere mention of the devil will send you sprinting for the confession box, then this movie will probably terrify you. For the rest of us, if 40 minutes of nothing followed by the mention of a 'seance' then characters sitting at tables reacting to moving cups sounds as bad, Hereditary manages to be even worse.
