WOW

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2019)

That was my reaction walking out the theatre. I was taken back at how good this film was. I had no idea what the movie was about or what I was getting myself into (which I think played a huge factor in it's effectiveness). Ari Aster created a masterpiece with Hereditary. He placed you in the middle of grief, loss, and real horror. The film is and feels painfully long. That plays into the emotions Aster is trying to get out of his viewers. You never feel "safe" while you're watching this film. He also takes control of it, leaving you unable to guess what the next scene will be.
I highly recommend watching it. You will not be the same after.
