Its ok. I really thought we were going with a crazy family: which i was on board with. But there really being a demon that needs to be passed along and possess family members was really meh. I thought the reveal was how none of this supernatural stuff is really happening and theyre all crazy. Nope. A real demon....sure ok. Anyways..... --- When it rains, it pours. ...

What do you even care if it was a demon or if it was the family? What matters is if the plot is interesting and unpredictable (it was) and if it's scary (and hell yeah it was).The final third of the movie was probably the most intense shit I've seen. I don't think I've been genuinely scared with a scary movie before. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Theres tons of good things about it but just crapping on a good "Death in family sets off their insanities together" for "Yes, a real demon possessing everyone but needs host but also needs host to decap to transfer cause it needs male host" Also i thought he was tripping or the moms a ghost but nope shes super powered wall crawling demon possessed. ........ok And the very ending is one of the worst horror endings ever.

overall, I wasn't a fan. I didn't mind that it dealt with demon possession, and I thought that everything leading to the daughter's death, and its aftermath were great. also, the movie had good performances all around. besides that, it didn't do anything for me, and I thought the shocking imagery towards the end bordered between overdone and dumb. lastly, the exposition at the end brought down the movie's overall quality, for me, even more - the one fortuneteller let's you know what's going on earlier in the movie, but then they have to explain everything at the end, like they didn't trust the viewers to get it until then. --- Don't you agree, Zach? https://streamable.com/bmh5oq ...

Yeah I agree, it's a very well made movie and the first act of the movie was great. It started getting really dumb the moment it started going full on demon possession crap. I think the surrealism was done better in Beau is Afraid, but no one watched that movie (it's fucking trippy and I felt Ari Aster was able to do more stuff he liked in that movie than this one).

So, I just finished watching it myself. I had a feeling it would turn into a demon possession story as soon as they brought seances into the plot. Then I wondered about the name Hereditary because it seemed like it was hinting to a family of mental illness. Then the actual Hereditary part is that it's a family all dedicated to serving a demon. So the pieces were all there I suppose. Well done movie either way, I love that it didn't use jumpscares. The ending felt kinda sloppy though. --- Game collection: http://www.backloggery.com/bakonbitz Gaming channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwVQm69J7bGScbv3_50C0dA ... Copied to Clipboard!

BakonBitz posted... Then I wondered about the name Hereditary because it seemed like it was hinting to a family of mental illness. It is an allegory for mental illness. Like all horror movies, there has to be some underlying meaning to some social issue. but for the movie itself its one of those movies that gets better the more you see it. Every scene has a purpose and there's so many little things that you pick up that make the movie so much better.

That's the point. You're seeing the movie from their perspective as they mentally deteriorate. They build up that the family has a history of mental illness and their paranoia just keeps ramping up. It's supposed to be just as much of a surprise to the characters as it is to the audience that it's all real. Then they start tying all the pieces together. --- https://i.imgur.com/AUXKMK4.jpg ...
