Hereditary - 2018 horror movie
After watching this movie I am pretty much skeptical about everything that happening in my surrounding. For real this movie movie is has set the standards high for horror movies in general. I mean like seriously this movie is so goddamn amazing.
I have never been so intrigued by any horror till this day,considering the fact that I am very huge fan of this genre.The movie was directed and written beautifully by Ari Aster. This was his directorial debut which is quiet unbelievable because this movie is so so skillfully directed. Everything in this movie is so technically sound and perfect,That i could not point out any mistake in direction. I am So impressed by Ari aster now that I am Waiting to see his next venture in the same genre i want to see what this human can do to our crumbling horror standards. see if you are going in the theaters expecting jump-scares and gore you wont get it. Ari Aster seems to have mastered the skill of making a good horror film . This movie uses old school type of horror...so dont expect any useless monsters and jump scares which might come from the dark. Writer-director Ari aster has kept in mind what the audiences need ..so he makes sure its gut wrenchingly real.
Lets talk about the acting performances..when i first saw the trailer i was sure Toni collette is going to give the performance of her career....and to be honest i was not let down. Toni collette gave an oscar worthy performance. Toni collete plays the role of Annie who is this disturbed women who had a very unhealthy upbringing. Toni collete has really worked hard it can be seen on the big screen. It was debut for Milly shapiro who plays the role of charlie who is the youngest of grahm family. Milly shapiro is amazing with whatever is given ...her character has this wierd nut allergy which makes her remove a very creepy voice from her tongue,,,I am telling you that sound is going to give everyone nightmares. Alex wolff is stunning as Peter the eldest brother. His character is the one which we can relate to more. Just like him we are not aware of whats going on.Gabriel byrne as the father is the only one in the family with a little bit of conscience.His characters makes you root for him...he is the one who is really going through a conflict. Ari aster has made sure that every character has a layer to justify themselves this is what makes the film more and more enjoyable.
The movie takes you to hell of a roller-coaster ride which will make you sick to your stomach. The music by colin stetson really sets the mood of the film. Mind you the last 20 minutes of the film is really a sight to behold and the background scores makes it even more disturbing to watch. The cinematography done by Pawel Pogorzelski doesn't fail to capture the raw human emotion. .jpeg)
One of the best things about hereditary is it doesn't depend entirely on gore and jump-scares,it captures the real horrors of the life which makes it a stand out from the rest of the films. There is one Dinner scene where Annie and peter have a fight is undoubtedly one of the best scenes ever made in cinema.....I can understand why not everyone liked this film,see nowadays we are so accustomed to see jump scares and monsters that we have forgotten what real horror is . The movies like Annabelle and The Nun have ruined the Genre in whole
so on a scale of one to 10
