BORING, laughable and absolutely NOT scary

Rating: 3/10 (15 September 2018)

I was so looking forward to a nice, mature horror film. I love Toni Collette and Gabriel Byrne (though he was TOTALLY wasted in this film, playing a milquetoast dad/husband).
At first I thought it was just going to be a slow build with a Gothic feel to it, but no--- just horrible telegraphing things, like Charlie cutting off the bird's head and then she get decapitated. Ugh!

I cannot believe all the hype about "Hereditary" --- after some weird turns, I thought that maybe Annie (Toni Collette) was dreaming everything and that she was really in a mental institution (like "Shutter Island"), or maybe the "monster" was like the Babadook -- but no, just weird cult that gets almost NO explaination.
Save your time and money -- -If you want a really scary, atmospheric film, spend time with "The Autopsy of Jane Doe".
