Hereditary 2018

Title: Hereditary

Release Date: 2018

If you haven't seen Hereditary yet, you need to fix that - this movie is a must-watch! Hereditary is an intense horror film from 2018 about a family haunted by their own secrets. It stars Toni Collette as Annie Graham and Alex Wolff as her son Peter, who discover some terrifying truths about their ancestors after the death of Annie's mother. Hereditary takes the slow-burn approach to horror, building tension until it reaches its jaw-dropping climax. The performances are great, and Ari Aster’s direction really stands out in creating a spine-tingling atmosphere throughout the movie. Hereditary will keep you on edge with every scene – definitely worth checking out if you haven't seen it yet! Highly recommended for fans of horror.

 

Another movie that Hereditary reminds me of is Get Out, Jordan Peele's 2017 horror classic. Hereditary has the same kind of slow-burn suspense and psychological thrills as Get Out, but Hereditary takes those elements to a much darker and more intense level. Both movies will make you think long after they've ended, but I’d argue Hereditary is even more disturbing than Get Out. That being said, Hereditary isn't just another jump scare filled slasher flick – it has an emotional core at its heart that makes it feel like something more meaningful and impactful than your average horror movie. If you're a fan of horror films, Hereditary should definitely be on your watch list. It's got all the pieces in place to make an unforgettable experience, and it might just be one of the best horror movies released this decade. Hereditary is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys being scared out of their wits yet still appreciates thought-provoking stories. Highly recommended!

Hereditary tells the story of the Graham family, who are slowly unraveling due to the mysterious death of their beloved matriarch. Toni Collette plays Annie, the grieving mother whose grief soon turns into something darker as she begins to suspect that her family is cursed with some kind of hereditary evil. Hereditary takes its time building up tension until it reaches a breaking point in its final act — and boy, does it ever deliver.

The performances are incredible, with Toni Collette delivering a stand-out performance as the tormented Annie. Her anguish and terror is palpable, making her character utterly believable in even the most over-the-top moments. The real star of Hereditary though, is the writing and direction by Ari Aster. He manages to keep you guessing until the very end and sets up some truly shocking twists that will stay with you long after viewing. His creative use of horror tropes further adds to the movie's psychological intensity, creating a unique feeling experience that combines dread and tension with an underlying sense of surrealism.

All in all, Hereditary is one of the best horror movies released this decade and a must-watch for fans of the genre. It's a masterclass in suspense and terror with some truly amazing performances and visuals, making it an unforgettable cinematic experience. Highly recommended!
