Firstly, let's talk about the cinematography. The gorgeously set-up camerawork channels Kubrick, with the innovating shot movements of Polanski at his best. There's also an admirable level of commitment to occult works that manages to strike a good balance between the audience-friendly Skeleton Key and the esoteric A Dark Song. And the dollhouse motif really ties things up with the ably-constructed ending. A few issues in superficial characterization mar an otherwise stellar piece of cinema.

A solid horror flick borrowing from a wide variety of classics, in the process coming up with an amalgum of elements that feel much more original than they really are. But originality is overrated, aside from being extremely difficult to come up with. What "Hereditary" does extremely well is draping a vast majority of scenes with a tension so taut it could stop a bullet, and pulls off an ending I didn't see coming, which is impressive in its own right.

The worst thing about this and the Witch is that it makes all the other modern horror movies seem cardboard in comparison. Truly unsettling.

Most horror movies like to give their viewers breaks in the tension where they can catch their breaths, regain their bearings, and unclench their bladders. These breaks usually involve someone going to the local library to study up on the town's secret past. Here, the audience knows nothing is going to scare them. They can relax and prepare for the coming shitstorm. From torturous camera angles to discordant electronica, however, Hereditary is ALL shitstorm. That includes the one in my pants.

P - I don't understand why this film is so highly-praised. It's well made, but it's littered with characters doing stupid things for no reason. The tone shifts completely as it goes on, and the ending is weak, if not nonsensical. (Nothing to do with the film really, but all the rooms in the house are ridiculously enormous.) Also, when people in horror films walk into a dark room where something strange is happening, why do they never switch on a light?

Much of this movie is stylistically refreshing but too often drops back into standard Hollywood horror. Hopefully it will pave the way for more horrors that deliver scares via character empathy rather than to the audience directly.

Slow "I am an ambiance movie" for 1h50, end up with jump scare. Beside that, it had a shit tone of good ideas when it come to realization.

Hereditary is a modern day companion piece to both The Witch & Rosemary's Baby, focused more on grief and regret rather than sexuality/patriarchy. It's very well crafted and Toni Collette deserves an Oscar (if they could get over the stigma of horror), though like RB there are moments of jet black comedy that will either add to the experience or take you out of the film. At certain points with the use of the models I felt like we got a peek of what a Wes Anderson horror film would look like.

it was good but aside from some scenes early on i did not find it particularly memorable. it loses its emotional core and forgets its motivations halfway through and becomes disappointing.

Baffling horror drama squanders a terrific first half establishing a poignant and unsettling paranormal manifestation of familial grief, before jumping the rails to absurdity, ultimately taking the least interesting path possible to tie up its strange tale. Collette's sustained, intense performance is laudable, but plot developments land her with some unfortunate bad laughs; recurring motif of scenes constructed to look like doll's house miniatures is an interesting idea, but where's the payoff?

This really is just well made all around. I personally thought some of the last act was really chilling, and the film is directed extremely well, with a fantastic score. It’s a pretty evil movie and it’s quite unsettling, so I don’t really know if there’s a certain mood you have to be on to want to watch it. Excellent acting and filmmaking all around, good pacing, and it’s not at all overly confusing. Good movie, but you’re definitely not prepared for it.

It really has something to say about trauma and inherited evil in its first half, but it slowly becomes the show-off post-horror flick Aster always intented to do -- all the way too beautiful and not enough creepy in its depiction of grief and a family tormented by the unknown. It would be a really powerful film with a plot a bit less confusing -- which gets in the way of true horror -- and a less sanitized atmosphere.

Unsettling in many ways. Toni Collette is off the charts creepy without doing anything too outlandish; her facial expressions and actions do enough. Not a fan of the very end. There was also a mother/son interaction that was sadly missing given the events. It felt like they toned back the horror a bit in places.

Toni Collette's good, and it doesn't have stupid jump scares and loud music cues to 'scare' the audience, so that's a plus. But that's as far as my good will extends with this humdrum horror hokum. It's cliched from the start, tries far too hard to be 'unsettling' when in reality it's just boring, then it gets dumb and dumber as it progresses until it just becomes annoying trashy nonsense. Next!

The beginning with the doll house, or small world as they said, hooked me permanently. There was not much of prelude. The score and the mood got into you from the start. Somewhere close to the end they slipped a bit aside but the closure clicked everything in place.

Scary in the fact that you can't predict when your entire family and everything around you will become systematically unhinged. The ending was shamefully bad. Overall worth watching.

Hereditary is difficult to rate. It’s not very enjoyable, but it’s very well made and unsettling. It’s a slow burn dark family drama for the first half, and gradually shifts more towards straight horror in its second half. The acting is strong all around, with Collette being a standout. I think Ari Aster did a phenomenal job directing this film. A lot of the shots are creative and well done, and the film isn’t littered with jump scares like most horror films.

Man, all that wasted tension. Honestly not even sure what happened in the third act. Who was I supposed to be rooting for? What was the goal of the antagonists? It's all a bit narratively muddled. First half is super good though. Unfortunately there's only so many times Alex Wolff can turn around slowly with a terrified look on his face before it stops being scary.

Its best scenes are certainly better than those found in standard generic examples, and it does a better job than most at letting events unfold without explaining everything as it goes, but for this viewer it still didn't really reach the depths of horror necessary to raise it much above those standard generic examples.

Dark, gut churning drama gives way to messy horror nonsense that goes completely off the deep end. Which is not all bad, as I’m rather partial to stuff that goes off the deep end. Sadly, they squandered that goodwill by overexplaining the finale in that long, penultimate shot. Still, for a first feature it’s an impressively fucked up little film.

V FINE As ambiguity fades & Conc nears, quality dip from 5 to 4*. JUST missed being exceptional. Miniatures inherently unnerving & opening shot gold. 1st 65min = superb setup & as grief drama. POWERFUL acting (Collete ON FIRE & Wolff: V Imp) -'ve: GB's last scene quite poor & cheap. +'ve: Slow, calm Dir style, no jump scares. If Id left @ sec candle flared I'd imagine end = 'lose ur head for' stunner. Sadly, didnt quite land (or poss I just prefer Alt routes) but STILL V V good.
