Review of Hereditary (2018) by Abhishek S — 22 Jun 2018
Hereditary is a shocking thriller concerning tragedy within a family. Toni Collette is top notch, she portrayed her character sincerely. Gabriel Burns & Alex Wolffe are damn good, Milly Shapiro is creepy af.
The first time director Ari Aster did a wonderful job, the story makes you feel the pain of Graham family. Some disturbing scenes were cut off by Censor board, I'm pissed about that, just GROW UP CBFC. It's a must watch for horror fans.
The story revolves around Toni's dysfunctional family, after her mother's death strange things begin to happen. 30 mins into the film there's a huge blow delivered to the audience, you'll not see this coming. While dealing with a tragic loss, their family encounters a supernatural entity, nothing like the Conjuring movies ,rather similar to Rosemary's Baby.
The ending somewhat lets this brilliant film down. It felt like an anticlimax. Some disturbing scenes are shot with perfection. I am hopeful about Ari Aster's future projects.
You can never know what Evil runs through your family.....
