Slow Burner but Enjoyable if Prepared

Rating: 7/10 (24 August 2018)

I liked Hereditary for what it was. It's a bit 'arty' - the cinematography is great, exceptional in places. Acting is very good. The story is a bit of a slow burner, so if you listened to the hype of it being one of the most scary horrors made, you might be disappointed.
Having said that, it is a different type of horror to the norm. It attempts to suck you in slowly with sweeping cameras and a slow but unrelenting tensity, aided by a subtle but menacing soundtrack. I liked that, it was different but for some, they might find it boring.
It doesn't rely on your traditional jumps and sudden rise in audio that many other horrors do. If you want that, you'll probably not like this film too much.
With that in mind, give it a go. Let it take you in and on its journey. It'll not be a particularly fast one, but it'll be different.
