Boring, meandering, unbelievable, sometimes laughable

Rating: 2/10 (7 March 2020)

I have no high expectations for any movies these days. Most of them are garbage. But I do often enjoy horror movies, even if the characters don't act as human beings would and there are loose threads and there's no compelling story telling.
I enjoyed Midsommar, The Witch, Babadook, The Conjuring, It Follows. Even though they all had plenty of faults, I was genuinely spooked and creeped out and intrigued.
Hereditary was truly awful. It was meandering and lost at times, boring, annoying, and sometimes laughable. Plus it had more than the average number of faults that plague Hollywood movies.
It had a high rating, so I persisted instead of shutting it off halfway through. I figured it must have some sort of compelling ending to earn a high rating and make up for the long, meandering, boring crawl. But the last quarter of the movie was the worst part of it. I groaned and I laughed and then groaned some more. Truly terrible.
I won't go into all the details. It's not worth it. I'm just truly baffled how anyone could like this movie.
