    Really good movie, If your into jump scares this movie is not for you, this is more like the babadook. a lot of people complain about the ending but I thought it was perfect.

    It's obvious that the reason that in 2018, there's rarely any good horror movies anymore, because the people that keep making these horrible films are the same people that are giving THIS movie a bad review. This movie was one of the best horror films I've ever seen!!! It's not a big budget, cheap scare, slasher film. It's a supernatural, tense, chilling, well acted, powerful horror movie. The soundtrack builds tension. Every shot is well planned, and the movie plays out in three different acts, so just as you feel like you'[re catching your breath, it takes you deeper into the story. The ending had me watching the entire credits just because I was riveted to my seat, watching, thinking, feeling uneasy at what I'd just seen. Sorry to the haters, but this movie was amazing.

    The references are really interesting in this film. I see, for example, a scene from The Exorcist 3 that some have found stupid, but it is worth to watch it with some absolutely terrifying scenes and as disturbing as when the old lady in the retirement home crawl on the ceiling or when the nurse is killed in the hospital. Less inspired by Friedkin, I think the director is mostly inspired by the work of William Peter Blatty (Bill Friedkin should recognize it if he left his ego on the side for a few moments, Blatty had great ideas for staging). Toni Collette is absolutely great and should receive an Oscar for her performance.

    "Slow burner" is often an artsy alternative to "boring" so seeing the term used here didn't fill me with much hope. I assumed it would be like "The Witch" but no. Hereditary is a real old school occult thriller in a Rosemary's Baby kinda way. It's haunting, it's creepy and totally bonkers. I loved it.

    As a horror movie fan, I must say this movie was not typical. After watching it, I am left feeling disturbed. The dark psychological impact it left is hard to put in words. The unique twist and approach had me hooked. The acting was phenomenal. This is the best scary movie I have seen in years.

    This movie did not make any sense. It was unfair to ask the audience to take such a huge leap in faith that the plot would in anyway reach a plausible explanation. This movie isn’t worth seeing even in cheap theaters.

    By the end of the movie... I had to sit and think.... "WTF did I just watch???"

    I really hope Toni Collette gets an Oscar nomination. I know this is not a genre that gets recognized often but watching her unravel was just incredible. The film is fantastic, not your typical horror so it won't appeal to everyone - but I loved it. A slow-burn of a movie that keeps you guessing.

    People will say that the Exorcist sucks. People will say that Jaws was a comedy. Some people say Get Out was "okay". The thing is, people's subjective viewpoints do not stop this film from being a masterpiece. Don't listen to the layman. If you are a REAL horror fan, you will love this.

    Strong resemblance to the feeling given in Rosemary's Baby, this film will eventually be seen as a staple in the horror movie genre that every fan should see.
