Review of Hereditary (2018) by Tryasummersault — 16 Jun 2018

A24 strikes again with an overrated and overhyped scattered film that really isn't even horror, but a well shot drama/thriller full of visual build up without a cohesive pay off. Speaking of pay offs you really have to wonder if these critics are because the rave reviews they constantly give these A24 " HORROR" films are banal and insane.

While there are interesting aspects strewn throughout with some intriguing grim subject matter, it meanders into a very dark disjointed story that goes into a very depressingly stupid realm much like 2016's The Witch.

If A24 didn't constantly scam people advertising this as a full on horror film with a decent trailer with some horror cliche visuals, and then release a dragged on dark drama, maybe people wouldn't be outraged at them.

I for one will never pay for another one of their films since The witch and I advise others not to do so. If you do, you are being swindled.
