    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Toni Collette had told her agent that she didn't want to do any more heavy, dark films and only wanted to do comedies, but she loved the "Hereditary" script so much she couldn't turn it down.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 8 mins) For portions of Joan's instructions to Annie, as Annie is leaving Joan's apartment, the lips don't match the words, notably the comment that the husband and brother need to be 'in the house.'
    • Quotes

      Annie: I never wanted to be your mother.

      Peter: Why?

      Annie: I was scared. I didn't feel like a mother. But she pressured me.

      Peter: Then why did you have me?

      Annie: It wasn't my fault! I tried to stop it.

      Peter: How?

      Annie: I tried to have a miscarriage.

      Peter: How?

      Annie: However I could. I did everything they told me not to do, but it didn't work. I'm happy it didn't work.

      Peter: You tried to kill me.

      Annie: No, I love you!

      Peter: [crying] Why did you try to kill me?

      Annie: I didn't! I was trying to save you!

    • Crazy credits
      The first minute of the closing credits is a list of vertically-scrolling names, where a random letter of each person's name is hi-lighted in a different color, then drops down to form the words of the next person's name in line.

    Great slow burn uncomfortable horror
    Loved this movie, it wasn't hard to figure out once it peaked .. but getting there was great. I see people don't like this film and I can understand that. But it reminded me of Rosemary's Baby and that's saying a lot. As the story unfolds you see how truly horrifying this persons (Toni Collette) life has been.. the performances are spot on. This movie really ramps up in the last twenty minutes.. it's not fir everyone but it creeped me out and I watch a lot of horror. Give it a shot .. it's well worth it.

    FAQ31

    • Why does the son have a 4.3. framed computer monitor? Nobody has those anymore in 2018, which is when the movie takes place.
    • This is probably nothing but I couldn't help but notice in the scene where Peter is in the classroom when he injures his nose, his textbook is in really bad shape compared to all the other students. Could there be a deeper meaning to this or is it merely that he is a disconnected, pot-smoking underachiever type that doesn't really care about his school books? Or maybe he's distraught over Charlie's death and has lost interest in school and just doesn't treat the book well as a result? Probably reaching but I just thought it seemed too deliberate to be for no reason.
    • What does the husband do for a living? What's his job?
