Disappointed

Rating: 2/10 (4 November 2018)

That's one star for Toni Collette and another one for Alex Wolf; if not for their vivacious and gripping acting, I don't know what else would have kept me on my seat.
But seriously though, what the actual duck was hereditary in this movie?
Just because the granny gave the chain to Toni doesn't mean sheet. While, it so happens that this family has been dabbling with the occult - probably for generations - the hereditary part has been underplayed. I mean, if the end goal was to invite Paimon, so why the duck wasn't Paimon able to get into any other family member's body before, especially if they have been doing this for generation. And if there have been other people in the sect, why not them?
Because this movie ends with every member (dead and alive) of the satanic sect coming together to welcome the demon, who is supposedly inside Wolf's body, which seems to have been the actual goal of worshipping the demon all this time, when there clearly were other males around.
Therefore this climax doesn't cohere well with the rest of the story. I mean, the end of this movie was truly a big ducking mess; from being strange, and calmly unsettling, it moved to good ol' fashion possession, crawling on walls, devil worship, and sheet.
It felt a revisited Paranormal Activity 4 or 5, minus the found-footage part.
Disappointed.
