Hereditary
Rent/Purchase
Following the death of the Leigh family matriarch, Annie and her children uncover disturbing secrets about their heritage. Their daily lives are not only impacted, but they also become entangled in a chilling fate from which they cannot escape, driving them to the brink of madness.
What critics thought
Hereditary landed as one of the most critically admired horror films in recent memory, with reviewers singling out Toni Collette's performance and Ari Aster's directorial debut as genuinely exceptional. The film draws comparisons to prestige horror landmarks like The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby, and its reputation has only solidified in the years since release.
“it's Collette, giving the performance of her career, who takes us inside Annie's breakdown in flesh and spirit and shatters what's left of our nerves. Her tour de force bristles with provocations that for sure will keep you up nights. But first, you'll scream your bloody head off.”
Peter Travers·Rolling Stone
“In its seriousness and hair-raising craftsmanship, Hereditary belongs to a proud genre lineage, a legacy that stretches back to the towering touchstones of American horror, unholy prestige-zeitgeist classics like The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby. Remarkably, it's a first feature, the auspicious debut of writer-director Ari Aster, whose acclaimed, disturbing short films were all leading, like a tunnel into the underworld, to this bleak vision.”
