Chilling, Creeping, Shocking

Rating: 8/10 (6 September 2018)

Growing up as a young kid I was always fascinated and intrigued by the shocking and the horrific. From a pre-teen era I had developed a key interest in the horror genre. Throughout the years this interest diminished as horror flicks and blood/gore filled movies monopolized this genre. Very few movies managed to achieve the fear and creeping factor that is necessary for a horror movie to be truly what it needs to be, horrific. Hereditary has managed exactly that! You experience a range of emotions that you rarely experience in a modern horror movie. Many say that the movie is the new modern Exorcist, but I believe that it has more of a 60's feel to it resembling old horror-mysteries such Rosemary's Baby. Moving on to the direction, sound score, sound editing and acting you find yourself encapsulated in a a near-perfect horror picture. Finally you cannot review this movie without praising the Toni Collette's amazing performance in the lead role of Annie Graham. She gave life, fear and anger in her character that really captures your breadth and blows you away. A modern model of a horror feature film
