directed by Ari Aster

One of the most underrated actresses, ladies and gentlemen! Toni Collette, who has stolen my heart in “United States of Tara” (2009 – 2011), did another amazing job, this time in a horror. I was actually pretty much surprised that she had accepted such role as I couldn’t imagine how it would work. But it did! Before watching “Hereditary”, I read several reviews which said that it’s the scariest horror of 2018. Maybe that’s why each evening I was telling myself “no, not this one, watch it in the morning”. And then one morning came. And you know what? It’s not scary at all. It’s not a typical horror full of jump scares or other disgusting creatures running after silly people who don’t know how to close the door or use an axe. This film is truly disturbing. Watching it is like some kind of hypnosis during which you’re remembering your deepest fears. I don’t recommend to watch it in the evening, though. Otherwise you may spend several hours in bed thinking of what what you saw. Last thing – acting is gold in this one, see it yourself.
My rating: 7/10
