      Loved it! I’m rarely surprised and even more rarely shocked by horror films (heck any film if I’m honest) and this one got me. My jaw hung open long after the death of Charlie and the scene after... just incredible 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I just so rarely get that experience at the theater and I really loved Hereditary for that.

    4. The groaning sound leading up to Charlie entering Annie’s body when the family are all downstairs together, the way the camera pans up along with the sound was ultra creepy
    3. Annie waiting up in the corner of the ceiling, just waiting there for like a whole minute
    2. Annie creepily flying past in the background of Peter’s room - it was just so surreal and out of nowhere

      he also never got to know what was going on, he was left in the dark about what was happening all the time until he died. also, the fact that he wasn't even able to question HOW his mother (that i am guessing is something about 5,7" - 5,9") was able to bang on the attic door so fast and brutal or even in general because he thought she was mad at him that he was part of Charlies death and probably feared for his own life that moment puts, for me, so much more trauma for Peter in this scene

      Give the film maker a lot of credit. I think what made that scene a lot more terrifying is the fact that we spent so much time with these characters and watched them develop through a devastating tragedy only to face this horrible demise and since we actually care about these characters it makes the whole situation a lot more terrifying. Most horror movies now days have a weak plot and one dimensional characters so we ultimately never give a shit about them and when the movie climaxes it’s almost comedic.

      I am not going to disagree with that. However, I deliberately avoid watching any marketing stuff prior to seeing a movie I decide I want to see. I also wait till much of the launch hype has died down and avoid watching any reviews or reading anything about it online/in print. That's exactly what I did for this movie and just the way they started telling the story I also assumed it'd be all about the girl. I can see though how if I had paid attention to the marketing prior I probably would have thought that even more so.

Then Annie insists that the daughter go to some high school party with her older brother; ugh even if she did think it was a "party for all ages" -- Charlie did NOT want to go and Annie would know that Peter wouldn't want her as a tag-along, basically having to babysit the whole time. *Whew* I hope that doesn't sound mean. 😕

    When Charlie unexpectedly died and just the way she died, I legitimately gasped and the entire theater went dead silent. I have never once been in such shock from a horror film. I was left completely speechless and was gaping and wide-eyed, holding my hands to my mouth, for at least 10-15 minutes? I am not even exaggerating. Nobody was able to say a word. Everyone was completely taken off-guard. I started crying when Collette began wailing in grief. It took me until the family dinner scene for me to finally be able to turn to my dad and whisper in his ear, "What the FUCK?!?!?" I was completely chilled to the bone and what I felt from her death and how everyone responded afterwards was deeply visceral. It was so REALISTIC emotionally. How trauma and grief was portrayed was so incredibly accurate and raw. I ended up laying down for an hour after the film just to reflect on it. I freaking love Hereditary. It fucked me up, and in the best possible way. Bought it right away when it released. I am terribly excited to see what else the director comes out with. Just... wow.

Remove the supernatural and cult elements and it is about a family torn apart by awful parenting, mental illness, and grief. That's much more real and frightening than a literal outside conspiracy. The terror comes from within, not without.

    I've seen this movie 4 times over, and every time I watched it, I noticed more and more subtle details. Twice in theaters, two more with friends at home.
    I DEFINITELY recommend watching at least twice, so many details and foreshadowings right in front of your face that you miss the first time!
    SPOLIERS
    Annie in the beginning at the grieving group for her mom, talks about all her MALE family members having mental illness, like schizophrenia. (Alluding to the attempts of King Paimon being brought about, as it must be a male)
    She also mentions how the grandmother was VERY involved in trying to raise Charlie (I wonder why...). Annie even had a miniature of the grandmother breastfeeding and her watching.
    Something that really stuck out to me the next time watching was when Peter is at his class and they discuss the idea of being pawns in a bigger scheme that they cannot control, and whether it is more or less tragic if there is nothing that can be done? How symbolic!
    I'm a huge horror movie buff, and Ari Aster nailed what HORROR is to me. (Midsommar was a masterpiece). I've seen so many horror movies... "horror" movies that just use jumpscares, excessive blood and gore, and cheesy cgi is not horror. There is something about the raw, painfully dense atmosphere created in Ari Aster's films that really tap into the human psyche of anxiety, fear, and pain. The pain of Annie, (what an amazing actress) shook me to the core.
    I will never forget the swallowing, sinking feeling in my stomach when Peter killed his sister. Theater talking, friends chatting... as soon as that happened, theater was quiet the rest of the movie as it just got more and more messed up. Absolutely amazing.
    Right down this realm, highly recommed Jordan Peele's movies like
    Get Out and Us. Us is a beautifully written movie as well.

    i still got goosebumps when the description of Charlie's death was being addressed. even tho it's been a long time since i watched the movie. the analysis couldn't get any better. mainly, death scenarios are captured in a second and we anticipate the panic and brace ourselves for the death scene. Sometimes it's too predictable. But trust me, this death scene was not at all predictable. I knew something would happen to the daughter but never fathomed this ending for her. It's truly phenomenal how the moment was extended into the horrifying aftermath of the brother's horror and unbelievable conscience. he was in sheer awe and i just loved the numbness in his eyes of disbelief. And that's how ones unpredictable death feels like , especially when you know it's because of you it happened. Oof.

    So true. Worth a second viewing (at least). Watching it the first time I didn't fully pick up on it but- is Annie becoming unhinged or is she resurfacing the awareness that she and her family are all puppets? Is that why she is obsessed with creating family scenes and cannot do her professional work? Is that why she eventually destroys her studio? Is that why she can't help but recreate her daughter's death scene? There are so many scenes in the film connected to this idea of puppetry (or as Ryan says pawns), many which include a profound sense of discomfort from Annie until she herself can't help but become a puppet.

    That scene where Annie is banging her head on the attic door is just simply pure evil. Alongside the scene of Peter’s arm twisting unnaturally as he banged his head on the desk. Those scenes scared me to the core. Great job directors and writers, but holy hell.

    what creeps me out the most (out of everything else, never saw such an horrifiyng piece of art) is that i constantly thought, till Annie sits at the cieling, that the whole plot is about Annie getting insane and making up all this - Joan as a personality Annie is splitting up, seeing all this meanings and that she is gaslighting Peter, or that both of them are getting crazy... but then - its about a real damon?! wtf....

      Scenes like that in horror ALWAYS get me. The completely unnatural idea behind it freaks me out. The same goes for when Peter gets briefly possessed in class, with his arm raising in a distorted way, before his head twists and he bangs his head against his desk...Things that depict people harming themselves in such bizarre ways just always freaks me out. Like, any self harm is disturbing, but when it's something that's so completely out of left field, which no one would do without being "possessed", or (in a more realistic scenario) suffering from some insane mental episode, it's absolutely horrifying for me.

    I think it is about how generational pain gets passed down through families. The grandmother can be seen as the instigator of the trauma or at least as the first link in the chain who we are aware of. She could have broken the link herself but chose to pass the unresolved pain down to her child and grandchildren. The mother and the son could have made choices to avert transferring the trauma onto others or exacerbating it.

It honestly didn't have much of the unsettling effect it's supposed to have on me. So since it didn't work, it just felt like a movie trying too hard.
      The same way, if you're into horror movies for the scares and something using shitty scare tactics does a better job, you'll enjoy it more, even if on rational terms they're worse movies.
      Basically what I'm saying is that not everything is based off of intellect or quality, but rather works on an emotional level where not everyone is as receptive as the other. There's also the fact that not everyone has seen loads of horror movies.
