Why you should watch A24's Hereditary

Toni Collette's performance is still one of the most powerful of her career

Even though it's six years old and has a large library of other horror titles, Ari Aster's film Hereditary still remains one of not only A24's best in the studio's history, but also the horror genre in general. In his feature-length directorial debut, the filmmaker demonstrated a remarkable ability to balance the more shocking elements of his horror setting with a poignant exploration of grief, family dysfunction, and emotional processing.

Arguably, one of the main reasons to watch Hereditary is for Toni Collette's lead performance. That's not to say that the entire cast surrounding the Oscar nominee isn't also on top form, but her work as Graham's grieving matriarch Annie is something that many have since felt unfairly snubbed by major awards ceremonies. It has also occurred in the midst of many other horror films, finding their female leads being praised among their ensembles, with other examples including Lupita Nyong'o in Us and Florence Pugh in the sequel to Aster, Summer solstice.

The other big reason why Hereditary is a great watch for those who haven't seen it yet, it's the unpredictable nature of the film's plot. Despite being promoted and created as a typical haunted house horror story, the more the audience learns about Annie's mother and feels her continued influence on the family, the more they begin to question what is really going on, until the twist end of the film. sure to leave jaws on the floor for first-time viewers.

What TelaRant said about Hereditary:

In terms of directorial style, Aster's approach comes from the same Kubrickian school of horror cinema as recent additions to the genre such as The Witch sign up. As such, Hereditary generally eschews cheap scare tactics in favor of building dread and tension through quieter techniques before the film's more disturbing and violent moments. – Hereditary Review
