Great flick (for horror, that is)

Rating: 7/10 (25 August 2018)

I'm going to confess to thinking that the Horror Genre, in general is 95% crap. It is a repository of junk. I can count the offerings of this type of film that are truly good films on two hands and I'm being generous. The Excorsist, The Omen and The Ring are a few that come to mind.
And honestly when a Horror Film gets a 7 or above in IMDB, it's almost meaningless. I think the folks that are true Horror fans have a pretty low set of expectations. I think lots of kids are fans of the genre which might explain the high ratings.
Hereditary was really a nice surprise. The movie's plot starts slowly. The tension and creepiness build very gradually to a crescendo finale that really puts a chill up and down your spine.
Skillfully directed and Toni Collette was really superb. And that little girl is one creepy looking kid. Mom won't have to spend a dime on baby-sitting her because nobody is gonna mess with that kid.
If you hate horror movies because most of them flat out suck, treat yourself to this little gem... And leave the lights on.
