Review of Hereditary (2018) by Anderson G — 10 Jan 2019

"Hereditary" is able to use psychological terror very well, mixed the suspense and drama aligned with a great technique and script, made unusual for horror movies lately. Others who have such requirements are also "Babadoock" and "The Witch", although they like more of these two, "hereditary" has something more, it manages to appropriate the term "terror" with greater amplitude, he really scares, not with jupscare and increase of track, his terror does not go down the level, he prefers to use the tension with constant traumas that will shake the viewer psychologically, softening him, like a cook hitting a steak, for his final act , to blossom for once, to act as a watershed between criticism, to love and to hate, I love it, because it is tied well with the rest of the work and fleees a little from psychological terror to just terror, pure and simple, I buy your idea, buy your script and buy your tension.

Technically, the star of the star Ari Aster is extremely competent, with a usual technique of classic horror films, with inverted cameras and constant medium planes, such as "the tenant" and "halloween" the film is extremely claustrophobic and supportive, its technique causes anguish and explain exactly the feelings that are expected in a horror film; disgust, tension and fear, with its coarse frames and its daring track, always in the right cut which helps in the fit of all these factors is the wonderful performance of Toni Collette, the actress is frighteningly well on the paper, indulging in psychosis and the could be a good Oscar nomination if the academy valued such a genre of feature films.

"Hereditary" enters the select roll of horror films that fulfill their goal through their technical and artistic qualities, one of the highlights of 2018.
