I have set extremely high expectations for this movie and boy it did not disappoint, even on moments that I thought it would, but the movie is plain incredibly and genuinely scary.
It makes everyone in the audience uncomfortable, uneasy, and holding their breaths and that is mark of an excellent horror film. It’s never let up, not one second, and it gives you that betrayal that you think nothing’s coming your way but bam, everyone jumped out of their seats. It’s all good fun. And it lingers around you even after watching it, so sinister and treacherous and that made it so damn impressive.
The tone is pure evil, and it makes you feel sick. But the most impressive aspect of all is the exemplary performance by Toni Colette who deserves a nomination for next year’s Oscars after her haunting portrayal of a mother in existential crisis.
It’s a film where you literally cannot trust anyone from the cast. It’s superbly crafted and gave legitimate horror. Hereditary is one of the most scariest movies I watched and please no sequel.
Grade: 5 Stars
