A movie called Hereditary recently premiered at Sundance and has filmmakers, critics and viewers going crazy and they all say it's fucking scary.
"Hereditary follows a family and the mysterious legacy they find themselves entwined in once they move into their dead relative's home. Strange and eerie things start happening to the family as they begin to unravel the cryptic dark secrets of their ancestry."
It's already scored a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes (so far) with people calling it "emotional terrorism" and "deeply upsetting" and even warning viewers that it'll leave them "too scared to turn off the lights in their own home for weeks" and that it's too scary to even watch, that Critics are leaving the cinema terrified, and not only are people screaming inside the theatre but people are just walking out completely..
And we're not talking about the usual reviews you always see here & there that say every fuckin' movie is the greatest shit they've ever seen, the 'reviews' for this are similar pretty much anywhere you look and posted by everything from viewers to bloggers to critics to filmmakers etc.. which might not be a good thing cause people are going in expecting too much rather than being shocked or surprised. I never listen to critics personally, and we'll find out for ourselves when it opens on June 8 (2018).
*Here are some tweets, comments and reviews from various random places:
- “Hereditary” ... I haven’t been this upset and freaked out by a horror movie since the original Ju-On. My stomach NEVER turns because of a movie, and there’s a moment in this movie so upsetting I almost lost it. Every inch is crafted to horrific detail. Fuck me. #sundance2018
- Hereditary isn't just the freakiest thing I've seen in ages, but by far the most emotionally upsetting. Never feels like a tease; every scare has a very cruel purpose. Toni Collette astonishes. Couldn't have asked for a more satisfying end to my #Sundance2018.
- Just watched a really fucked up movie called Hereditary. It’s the kind of horror flick designed to get under your skin and holy shit does it. I recommend any viewers go in as cold as possible.
- HEREDITARY chilled me to my bone. It's pure emotional terrorism, gripping you with *real* horror, the unspeakable kind, and then imbuing the supernatural stuff with those feelings. I loved it/resent it for the nightmares I'm going to have. #Sundance2018
- #Hereditary is so disquieting, you’ll be gasping for air in the theater. Utterly believable supernatural horror. There will be no scarier movie this year. If there is, it means we’re in a new golden age. #Sundance
- I just saw the scariest movie I have ever ever ever seen in my entire life. I. Am. Shook. #Hereditary #Sundance
- There are moments of #Hereditary where I felt genuine terror. Not shock. Not “oh that’s a clever twist” Just. Pure. Terror.
- Move over IT, Get Out, Annabelle: Creation, and The Exorcist. There is a new king of horror coming to
- After premiering at the Sundance Film Festival, critics have unanimously called Ari Aster’s Hereditary the “scariest horror movie in years”.
- “This isn’t a scary movie. It’s pure emotional terrorism, gripping you with real horror, the unspeakable kind, and then imbuing the supernatural stuff with those feelings,”
- Hereditary is the most traumatically terrifying horror movie in ages
- ‘Scariest Horror Film In Years’ Hereditary Is So Terrifying People Are Crying In The Cinema
- People are literally walking out of the cinema because it's just too traumatizing.
- “Hereditary seeks to confound by swinging between moments of controlled Kubrick-ian terror and unhinged emotional hysteria,”
- The screams in the theatre were almost as frightening as what was on screen. #Hereditary
- the most insane horror movie in years, If you’d ever like to sleep again, then you should probably steer clear of A24’s latest horror offering Hereditary
