Hereditary is, for me, an absolute masterpiece - a perfect balance between paranormal horror and a heavy, family drama. An unpredictable scare is a true rarity. Some scenes, and especially that one - you know the one – make your stomach drop, your heart stop, and it’s hard to believe what’s happening on screen. The film is incredibly unsettling, full of allegories and high emotional stakes. The finale was so absurd that it left me in maniacal laughter.
The characters navigate increasingly twisted experiences, and the film offers a horror-infused perspective on the stages of grief - what would normally distort our perception of reality here finds full justification in what unfolds on screen. This is one of those films that stays with you for a long time, showing just how powerful horror can be when it intersects with human tragedy.
Toni Collette is simply brilliant, and I believe this film will ensure her place in the annals of horror cinema.
