Toni Collette and Milly Shapiro in Hereditary (2018)
The Graham family starts to unravel following the death of their reclusive grandmother. Even after she's gone, the matriarch still casts a dark shadow over the family, especially her loner teenage granddaughter, Charlie, whom she always had an unusual fascination with. As an overwhelming terror takes over their household, their peaceful existence is ripped apart, forcing their mother to explore a darker realm in order to escape the unfortunate fate they've inherited.

    • 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.

    8/10
    Finally, an actual good horror movie made in the 2010's
    This is finally what horror fans have been waiting for, a completely serious and well done horror movie. This doesn't have a dumb plot and boring and dry attempt at a scare like most horror movies these days (particularily insidious). This movie is actually a seriously taken and very well done horror movie, very weird and confusing plot that adds up over time, very beautiful cinematography and amazing acting, vey good characters. Good and creepy tone to the movie and great ending reveal. Very well done and great horror movie.

    FAQ32

    • 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?
