I'll tell you exactly why it's so horrifying.

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2018)

I can actually completely understand why some people perceive this movie as god awful (wont really explain that- not the point I want to make in my personal review) The first time I saw it I didn't like it but now I'm in love and just got this movie for Christmas. I am a giant horror movie fan and almost watch strictly horror movies, so you already know I don't scare easily. I want to tell everyone why this movie left me so unsettled and disturbed when I saw it the second time in theaters (no spoilers, no worries) This movie takes a family (which we all have) and shows all of them falling apart in the most dark, sinister messed up ways you could ever possibly imagine. And that's what makes it so real. We all have families and go through dark and tough times. You FEEL for EVERY character in this movie. The acting is one of the biggest reasons that makes the film so unsettling. I could not imagine a different cast, especially having someone else play the mother, Annie and the son, Peter. This movie seems slow, and dragged on at first. But the way the events unfold is ABSOLUTELY INSANE. Also, for one- there's hardly any jump scares. This movie is pure terror with brilliant acting, along with the fact that every time I watch it, I notice something new. People lurking in corners and strange places that I never saw previous times, terrifying yet sublte and quiet sounds and effects you never caught or heard before throughout the film. It's so simple yet brilliant. And let's not forget how the whole concept of this movie is messed up, with awfully disturbing imagery. I feel like if any of you are reading this review and you're not sure of what to do because of other negative reviews, just give it a chance! Have an open mind, pay attention to details. I feel that you won't be dissappointed. Enter the realm of hell that IS "Hereditary." Amazing, dark film. You will be horrified. Scariest movie I will probably ever see. 15/10.
