I believe people are seeing this for the wrong reason. If you want your typical horror movie you been conditioned to like: Jumpscares every 15mins and typical horror tropes, than THIS IS NOT YOUR MOVIE. This movie is a slow moving but heavily detail oriented film. It…

I feel compelled to defend this film because it was just that amazing! The people who are leaving bad reviews just.don't. get it. I mean this film is a horror masterpiece. A true horror film, it messes with your insides, it leaves you feeling defiled by the end of the film.…

Terrible movie with a disjointed script. Don’t waste your time or money on this disaster.

The perfect slow burn you hope for from A24. A lot of people won't know what they're getting in to. They're the ones ripping it apart.

So sad I left so disappointed. I waited for that movie for months and it was horrible. Like the actors were good, but the movie itself and the script is one of the worst I’ve seen in years.

This is a great modern day horror film. It toys with you psychologically while the plot burns slowly and steadily. You will be shocked, surprised, terrified and satisfied. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that Toni Collette’s performance was magnificent.

It was just the mother’s weird actions that made the movie. Everything else was just unusual.

I really enjoyed watching this movie. it reminded me of Rosemary's Baby and Carrie type movies. slow burning and intriguing all the way through.

Loved how the trailer left the movie with a bit of a mysterious storyline. Unlike other horror films in a very intriguing way!!

Produced by A24, if you are familiar with the company, then you already know what to expect. Some scary parts, some clever foreshadowing that gets lost due to the movie's length. Some parts seemed like they where trying to be edgey and the bulk of the movie would have…

Not your typical horror film. Beautifully shot, has some truly creepy moments and some certainly unexpected moments, but not scary in the sense that you'd expect and NOTHING like the movie the trailers led you to believe you'd be seeing. If you're wanting the movie you saw…

Over 2 hours of slow moving movie torture. Sadly I stayed until the end and then listened to other audience members who had similar feelings. Are people getting paid for these five star reviews?

Hereditary isn’t just a scary movie. It’s much, much, much worse than that.

Hereditary is a great scare-fest and a middling domestic saga, one that probably needed to be either 90 minutes long and brimming with terror, or three hours long and suffused with glacial, Bergman-esque dread. Aster has charted a middle path, and for a first film, it’s hard to fault the skill he’s shown in doing it.

Creepy, creepy, creepy. Writer-director Ari Aster makes an impressively unnerving debut with Hereditary, a meticulously crafted horror thriller.
