Imaginative, unsettling, and sophisticated

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2018)

A masterfully told story that terrifies the audience cerebrally and viscerally. Hereditary is heartfelt, disturbing, and brutal. The visuals are unforgettable, not only because they're imaginative and unsettling but because the cinematography is flawless. The casting is perfect and every performance is superb.
The POV is coherent while revealing the film's mysteries slice by slice, rewarding only viewers who are willing to engage the story on its own terms. It's a horror film that carves out its own space while accomplishing what audiences expect from horror with its own style and approach. A distinct entry in the canon of America's finest horror cinema.
