Review of Hereditary (2018) by Mitokio — 27 Aug 2018
Terrifying movie. Truly frightening. That it got such high scores. Clearly something has possessed the critics/people who gave it a high score. That might even explain the ending. Sigh. Remember Rosemary's Baby (and even the Omen) where you didn't need crap-ass special effects to make something that was really unnerving, just talented writers/directors/actors? I pine for those days.
The only way this could be considered clever is if, since it's set in Utah, it's a thinly veiled exploration of Mormonism. I did enjoy muttering, "You're terrible Muriel," every time Toni Collette did something stupid.
