Where to Watch Hereditary
- Kat Nip6d agoUGHCKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
- Allie TranMay 30, 2025This is what I would consider a perfect horror movie. I remember watching this from home and having the crap scared out of me during that *SPOILER* one scene with the mom floating on the ceiling. Not only does it excel in its scariness, but has excellent acting, writing, everything.
- HaroldBawls7d agoWow A24 can make a movie I like. Hot dog.
- TanalienNovember 2, 2024Hereditary is a family drama disguised as a horror film. Given the brutality of these experiences and how they are captured, Ari Aster either turned his personal experience into a screen story, imagined such grievous trauma in his mind, or combined both truth and fiction. Hereditary is very often a hard watch, but it always feels honest.
- Sav SangwaisOctober 28, 2026My fav! Love a good story line and acting was 5 stars!
- MrTrivetSeptember 22, 2025Hereditary 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.
- Evan MayJuly 30, 2025Harrowing. The true terrors are in the first half. The second half tells a story to make sense of them. If only generational demons were so simple. The explanation is inexplicable. The result is multitonal, a partly comical fever dream dressed in visual discomfort. Yet the dread lingers past the runtime. Every scene holds attention. But the real artists were Steve Newburn and his team creating all those miniatures.
- tellumAugust 18, 2025I did not enjoy this as much as other horror fans, for me it was very plodding and the ending I didn’t care for. But there is some very disturbing imagery that is burned in my brain, and relatable realistic terror as well as supernatural terror. For bigger fans of the genre this is still a good movie.

One of the Best Horror Films
I genuinely think this is one of the best horror movies this decade. The slowly unraveling mystery, the incredible acting and the gut wrenching twists have stayed with me since seeing it in theaters. Not too thrilled to hear about the prequel, but here’s hoping it’s just as good as this modern masterpiece.
