Maybe you just are not understanding it, it may sound pretentious but Ari Aster's Hereditary is a story that is told metaphorically beyond the literally, I had to read about this film to receive details that I could not capture before, the film would not leave indifferent to nobody, breaks with the conventions of the genre and shows something totally different from the current horror movies, this film must be seen with an open mind to interpretations of all kinds to various scenes and history as such.
A great achievement of the movie is to avoid all kinds of cliches from current horror movies as religious symbols like back crossings or five-point stars, bible verses or priests, Hereditary creates his own totally different symbol world.
First-time director Ari Aster plays with the camera and refuses to make a film with conventional shots, preferring to have subjective and risky shots that show the situation of the characters and surreal and dreamlike scenes that explore the mentality of the characters that goes in decline with the passage of the film.
Like 'The Exorcist' this film has great skeptical potential, fear and doubt to believe what is happening, in 'The Exorcist' the priest covers himself diagnosing possible mental illness from the girl's attacks, in this film We are told that throughout family history there has been an endless number of mental illnesses that have terrified the family, this makes us doubt everything we are seeing. Can everything be the product of Annie's damaged mind? and his children begin to suffer the consequences, the end of the film is ambiguous and does not answer this question.
As in 'The Exorcist' Peter's character jumps out the window as the priest did at the end, Peter dies and Paimon enters In his body, the latest revelations of the cult that was staying in the tree house suggests that Peter is no longer there, Paimon has possessed him, all these pieces fit perfectly at the end of the film, as because Joannie and Annie's mom knew each other from before and what was their relationship, or the reason for the grandmother's irrational affection towards Charlie and because she always preferred a boy, the grandmother only wanted a male body so that Paimon could inhabit it.
Hereditary easily scrolls through so many genres, from a family drama to a terrifying tale of human insanity, Ari Aster is definitely one of the most promising names of his generation.
