Words escape me

Rating: 6/10 (9 June 2018)

It's about this family who has a history of tragic deaths and when the grandma died, things keep turning from bad to worse for the family. The title refers to how the family members die of unusual circumstances. Hereditary had interesting subplots and ideas that didn't add up. I don't know why it's said to be a horror classic. I didn't think it was that good. Visually well made, but the story doesn't make sense. I couldn't tell if parts of it were supposed to be scary. The ending when we find out what happens to the last remaining family member is irrelevant to the rest of the movie. The lady who had a seance to resurrect her grandson doesn't make sense when she is shown in photos of Leigh the main character's grandmother. Also, the bird that flew into the window and died shocked all the characters except Charlie. Why? Did she have special powers to do that? She also cut the bird's head off. Is that a premonition of her death? Besides, why would the mom recreate the death of her daughter as a miniature? Who wants to relive that?
