Review of Hereditary (2018) by Jakobkross — 04 Jul 2018
This is quite possibly one of the most unsettling experiences I've ever had in a movie theater before. Where Hereditary shines is in it's tone and atmosphere. Walking into this movie is like walking into a true nightmare.
There aren't any big fantasy-like set pieces or even a gothic house, but it takes the kind of household you might see from an upper class family and make it feel so uncomfortable and unfamiliar that moving forward is like taking a deep breath.
It all relies beautifully on the story, which I cannot spoil, but adjusts to the overall mood. I found myself shaking in my seat and taking deep breaths throughout the film. I promise you, you will not be disappointed.
A family drama that takes disturbing turns and grabs you by the throat. Honestly, the best horror film I've seen in a long time. The only thing I hate, is that I don't get to see it for the first time again.
