Get this garbage outta' here!

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2018)

Hereditary is your typical distraught family, with the typical distraught kids, tied with the typical ghost possession story, sprinkled with a few special effects that try to make you gasp. I've seen it all. Seems like every "horror" movie nowadays copies this same exact formula. One of these characters is probably possessed. Woopty-doo!
Hereditary brings NOTHING new to the table. If you've watched films like The Exorcist, The Omen, or The Conjuring, for example, you'll notice how Hereditary tries to copy elements of those films, and many others.
The best way to describe the tone of the movie would be monotonous, which also makes the pacing of the movie feel very slow.
The movie attempts to build up, with random little events happening throughout, some actually LAUGHABLE - and actually finishes up with one of the DUMBEST and UNDERWHELMING endings to a movie that I have ever seen in my life.
Everyone was hyping Hereditary up, claiming it was one of the scariest movies as of late - but this is pure nonsense. With an open mind, I sat through the movie but I just did not find it disturbing nor frightening in any way. Instead, I found it unoriginal, boring, and over-hyped by "casual" horror fans. Maybe I've watched way too many horror movies in my life and am now "numb" to this.
