Possibly the best modern horror movie!

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2018)

Yes, you did read the title right! Many people reviewing this movie seem to feel that it is slow and more of a drama rather than a horror movie. I do not agree. What Hereditary does very well is to capture true depression in relation to loss of someone close. The loss of the will to live and the constant feel of panic.
And as the movie turns towards the dark and occult I must say that it is rare that a movie can even do so without appear childish and ridiculous. However, even here, Hereditary succeeds very well. I find this movie sharp and spot on straight through - and the darkness it has is unlike anything I have ever seen before.
Then also, the acting of Alex Wolff and Toni Collette is nothing but outstanding. This could possibly be the best horror movie I have ever seen. Where all other horror movies are obvious and all about throwing something in your face, so that you will jump by sudden fear - Hereditary plays with darkness and fear on a completely different level.
I am saddened that so many people doesnt seem to understand this movie, because it's not like other "horror flicks". Give this one a chance - enter it without relating it to other horror movies, because this one is not.
I am stunned and amazed. Fantastic!
