Anderson123 38,221 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I'm watching it this weekend, I've been waiting months for it. I hope it's as good as they say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
That J 12,166 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I hope it's not as "great" as Quiet Place which was good IMO but nowhere near the place they hyped it up to be. This looks really good and the first time I saw the trailer, I knew I wanted to see it so it's on the list!

djBuffoon 12,115 Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 From interviews with the writer/director, and from word-of-mouth, this sounds to be FAR more intense than the likes of A Quiet Place and The Witch, both of which I loved (particularly the latter), but are less mainstream in aspirations. Hereditary seems like it will be slow-building and creepy, but also deliver legitimate scares. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomiel25 2,111 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I've already wached it yesterday it was good in the line of the babadook, it follows, and the witch, but it won't give you the scare of the exorcist, i mean when i watch TE (i was a kid) i felt like i was watching someting wrong and it gave me nightmares, Hereditary is an amazing indie horror movie, well crafted maybe it will shooking you but it won't haunt you. ( btw the cast was especially Toni Collette) i can't speak english but i can if you like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks really good and the first time I saw the trailer, I knew I wanted to see it so it's on the list! I just watched Hereditary and I have to say it was brilliantly disturbing. I’ve watched A Quiet Place and while it was good, Hereditary is pure Horror. It’s up there with classic Horror, Toni Collette is a true contender for Best Actress Oscar. I can’t get the imagery out of my head. Go see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djBuffoon 12,115 Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 I thought it was absolutely terrifying. There are images and beats in this movie that I predict will become iconic. Really unnerving throughout, and a great cast too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordEnigma 11,313 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I can’t wait! I remember seeing a trailer for this months ago and expecting it to never come to where I live - BUT it came! I’m excited although trying not to overhype because horror usually disappoints me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron l 11,999 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I saw it last night and was shocked throughout the entire film. Ari Aster's directing is ****ing incredible. I see the general public treating it as they did The Witch, Mother!, & It Comes At Night. Sometimes not completely knowing what's going on is exactly what makes a film so damn eerie.

Meredith Grey 3,151 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I saw it last night!! This movie was excellent and disturbing... up until the last 30 minutes. No spoilers but at certain scenes the audience was literally dying of laughter. The ending ruined it for a lot of people who saw it with me. But Toni Collette gives such an exceptional performance i’ll overlook the bad ending. Also, Alex Wolff KILLS it as well and i wish more people were praising his performance.

Quasi 10,923 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I'm seeing it tonight! Tbh I've never been this nervous to watch a film. I'm hoping it's gonna be the kind of movie where everyone in the theatre is audibly shocked and excited. Will definitely leave my thoughts on this thread later! I don't understand pineapples, so I don't eat bananas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be there by Monday!!! The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw it in a packed house last night, and you could hear a pin drop during the last quarter. Even when the credits went up, everyone was silent. I thought the ending was some kind of sick genius. But I agree that Alex Wolff and Toni Collette were both terrific. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
