I Was Fooled!

Rating: 5/10 (29 August 2018)

I really wanted to like this film since it was hyped up so much by various media outlets. Some even went so far as to say "Hereditary" saves the horror industry! Rubbish. It was a tedious chore to sit through. Toni Collette's acting was on point, though and I wouldn't be surprised if she gets nominated for an Academy Award.
That said, Gabriel Byrne was under utilized. The son looks nothing like anyone else in the house. Not only did he look much older than a high school senior but he also looked Middle Eastern. The writing in the movie was what really ruined it. Without giving out spoilers, let's just say the story made no sense and only propelled the movie to what must be the most ridiculous ending in all of moviedom. See this only for Toni's masterclass in acting, nothing more.
