Don't believe the hype

Rating: 2/10 (19 January 2019)

Hereditary is not a scary film. Hereditary is a drawn out drama, that attempts to become something scary in the last 10 minutes or so, and fails. I watched this film months after it's initial release, having heard all the hype, and seeing it make many people's top 10 lists or hearing it called the scariest movie of all time. This movie is plain boring, many things left unexplained, and the end sequence everyone calls "harrowing" is far from it. This film stayed with me after viewing, solely because of how disappointed I was.
