The David Lynch of horror films

Rating: Null/10 (12 June 2018)

So Hereditary is many things, but a quiet and subtle horror film it is not. I don't mean that as a criticism, I just simply think it's quite a bonkers film, very in your face and unapologetic about its intentions. Immediately after it was over I declared this this was the David Lynch of horror films. I struggle to think of another film in this genre that was as puzzling and mystifying as this. On a surface level, it works because the atmosphere, directing, and acting are all fantastic, but it works on deeper levels as well.
