To what end?

Rating: 3/10 (7 July 2019)

Yeah, we get the obvious theme of the film before it starts from its blatant title, and then as if we weren't beaten over the head with "passing down" theme throughout the film, we get it as a closer in the most obvious final credits sequence with the "hereditary" letters dropping down from one credit to the next. Good lord. Didn't anyone see that final credit sequence and say "No, let's not beat a dead horse."?
Some interesting moments to be sure, but I didn't find this one all that frightening or all that interesting. Yes, mental illness can be and often is passed down. So? Tell me something I don't know about that situation.
And although Toni Collette is one of my favorite actors, not one of her better performances in this one.
