Lena Wilson Bitch Media The film's chilling lesson is timely. Mar 5, 2021 Full Review Jo Livingstone The New Republic The open-ended stakes of these genre experiments are rebellious at a time when horror movie messaging can feel so heavy-handed. Mar 4, 2021 Full Review Roxana Hadadi Pajiba Toni Collette delivers a soul-shattering performance in Hereditary that reminds us how much sacrifice parenthood is and how deeply parents can scar their children, utterly beyond repair. Feb 7, 2019 Full Review Jeremy Aspinall Radio Times A precision-tooled, dread-inducing atmosphere that refuses to loosen its grip. Rated: 5/5 Jul 31, 2024 Full Review Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Pop Culture Reviews Aster reminds us that when grief becomes foreboding, there’s no escaping the boxed burdens of emotional terror. Rated: 5/5 Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast Toni Collette gives an all-time performance in this family melodrama that endlessly rewards repeat viewings.

Brandon As neutral a view of the accident as can be Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/08/22 Full Review Guto G For more horrors films like this Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Dylan H One of the scariest movies of the decade, and one of the only films to scare me in a really long time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Audience Member An absolute gem in horror and total chilling dread. The acting here is as equally great as any movie ever made. It's that amazing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Priya K After a very long time a movie scared me like no other till this day, there were no cheap jump scares but just scary build up till things burst open. Never was there a boring second in this movie, must watch for a horror lover. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Audience Member If you are a big psychological fan and have not seen this movie, boy, are you missing out. I have seen a lot of movies, and I mean a lot. And this is my favorite movie of all time. Ari Asters Brilliant mind comes to life in the most psychologically thrilling movie of all time. When you watch this movie, the very second that it ends, you will ask yourself “What the hell did I just watch?” If you’re not someone that pays attention to detail, skip this movie because the small, fine details are what make this movie so insanely Phenomenal. A movie like this is for the serious psychological horror fans that can watch the small details. It makes you not want to sleep at night. The fact is, in this world- there ARE people out there that would do something as unimaginable as the actions portrayed in hereditary. The fact that a person can create a movie like this is just so inspiring and Exhilarating. Without coming off as a crazy psychopath, believe me when I say, if you want something to haunt your dreams, pay attention to the details and watch this movie. In fact, watch it a few times, it gets better each time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
