Maybe it's me...

Rating: 5/10 (4 November 2018)

Sometimes it seems everyone else is raving about a film and I just don't get it. I guess this is one of those times.
'Hereditary' struck me as something that M. Night Shyamalan could - but shouldn't - have made: slow-paced atmospheric direction, gradually building tension and suspense, only for everything to unravel in a preposterous (anti)climax. There's a backhanded compliment in there somewhere, and maybe a spoiler of some sort.
Full marks for Toni Collette's tremendous performance but honestly, I can't help thinking this film didn't really deserve it.
