Cant stop thinking about it
This movie is a puzzle that you have to put together yourself. Every shot and every sequence has meaning and there is so much to think about after seeing this movie. There are so many powerful shots near the end and just stay with you. Don't expect to just see this movie and move on... you will need to do some thinking, you will need to do some research, and I feel this movie will be talked about for a very long time. There are images that I will probably never be able to get rid of in my head, which is great because I love horror and this is exactly what I could have wanted from a horror movie. Definitely one of the greatest horror films released for some years.
This film is disturbing, disgusting, unnerving, terrifying and frankly, downright scary. I am utterly disturbed now, I can't stop thinking about this film and the mind-fuck it delivered inside me. Take note Hereditary doesn't rely on cheap jump scares to deliver scary moments. Horror fans (or even non-horror fans), do yourself a favour and watch this... preferably during the day. I mean.. I'm sure you would want to get a good night sleep eh?
I’ve never really enjoyed horror films and I wasn’t expecting to love this as much as Conjuring. It started out really slowly, just enough to keep me on the edge, until it all spirals out of control and into a fucking shock fest. I appreciate that Aster doesn’t rely on jump scares to provoke reactions. Watch it in the theatres for maximum thrill.
Don't be an idiot and expect jumpscares and pathetic loud noises as seen from every other horror movie released nowadays. This movie favours story, character relationships, cinematography and real suspense.
No cheap scares, truly unnerving and disturbing. So much better than most horror movies of today. The imagery might keep you up the night you see it but the horrific ideas the movie presents will stay with you for weeks.
