How do I say I loved this film without sounding deranged...?

Rating: 10/10 (21 October 2019)

I have nothing but love for Ari Astor. I saw this film before Midsommar was released, and read Ari's brief discriptions of the themes for the two films only after watching the latter. Hereditary is discribed as being a 'family drama', where Midsommar is discribed as a film about a 'break-up' . And nothing could be more accurate in both cases...and THEN some!
As with Midsommar, I read a lot of reviews slating this film as garbage. As with Midsommar, I can't help but feel a bit of pity for those who saw this film, and neither understood nor appreciated it for the true, deep-seated terror it can conjure.
Although I am a huge fan of the traditional jump-scare and gore horror genre, I am pleased to come across films like this, in that the slow, atmospheric story telling brings to mind films like Rosemary's Baby with an extra helping of melancholy and hopeless dispair.
And the fact that the true horror does not necessarily lie in the supernatural (which there is a sufficient degree of), but in the roots it holds in reality and the issues humanity deal with in the real world. That is, for better or worse, where true horror lives; it comes from within us, more than without.
I never felt the need to register for membership until now, after having seen this film and Midsommar. I felt obligated to join in order to weigh in on these films; these are under-appreciated masterpieces, deserving of a better, more emotionally intelligent audience to judge it than some of the one-dimensional minds that could not appreciate it for what it is worth.
An amazing director; an amazing cast, both of whom fully succeeded in conveying the story being told and leave you reeling for months.
