Hereditary

This is a deeply twisted, disturbing horror film as a family finds itself ripped asunder by their own history and by outside and hostile forces. It's probably best going to see this without any further plot advice, but just be aware this is a horror movie that plays hard and cruel, and if you have a distaste for arthouse horror, this is probably not your thing. Toni Collette proves her horror credentials as the mother at the centre of this story, with ever-rising tension. There are undoubtedly elements you can pick apart later if you really want to, but in the moment this is as good as horror gets. I readily admit I have a taste for the grand guignol side of things, and this has a fair bunch of that. IF this isn't for you... well, the next one I'm reviewing is a nice Maggie Smith/Judi Dench joint, so I'll join you for that one.
