The less I say about Hereditary, the
better, so I’ll try to keep this brief. What’s important is that this stands as
one of the best horror movies in years. It moves in unexpected ways, overflows
with bonkers great performances, and builds to a genre crescendo that rips out
your still-beating heart and shows it to you. Writer/director Ari Aster crafts
a creepy, cryptic, moody horror tone poem about coping with grief and loss and
family that rattles and shakes in deep, profound ways.
