Fantastically Built Film From Start To Finish

Rating: 8/10 (22 June 2018)

If you're afraid of the dark, do not watch this film
When I was little I was scared of the dark because I always thought there could be something hiding in the dark and with this film they play around with that idea. I can never forget that partly silhouette standing in that corner of the room. It reminded me of the scene in Lights Out where the victim flicks the lights on and off to reveal a dark silhouette.
This has all the cliches of a typical horror film. But it's the way the film has done it, you forget all the cliches.
This isn't any ordinary horror film. It's not exciting as The Conjuring or Insidious, it'snot fast pace or has consistent jump scares, it's actually the opposite of that. It's a slow pace family drama with the element of horror.
The film starts with a family tragedy which slowly turns into a nightmare. We have Annie going through the struggle after losing her mother. We have Peter filled with regret and who slowly goes insane, but the most interesting character is Charlie. She has always felt different, never felt connected with the rest of the world, she was born this way. It's kind of a sick, twisted, true analogy about having a mental disorder.
You mainly follow the story till the big reveal and trust me it's chaotic and nuts. The conclusion may leave some people unsatisfied but if you pay attention to details, it's a fantastically built film from start to finish.
Hereditary is a great movie and deserves to be talked about.
