Formulaic dross

Rating: 3/10 (25 February 2019)

There seems to a burgeoning amount of US writers/ directors bringing this formula to the world : set your drama in a mega luxury house which most of your audience can't afford, never explain anything about where this wealth comes from, just flash it about a lot. Have something supernatural happen with absolutely no reasoning , beg/borrow/steal to get someone vaguely famous in it ( in this case Gabriel Byrne). Include some gore. This is Hereditary. It has the added offence of flashing major plotline in writing (high lighted with yellow marker pen!). Got so bored your mind's wandering? Here's the plot for you in an easily digestible soundbite a seven year old could have concocted. There you go, now can we have some money please.
Not quite as bad as some recent films, hence the three stars, but bottom of the barrel stuff nonetheless.
