Critics Consensus

Hereditary uses its classic setup as the framework for a harrowing, uncommonly unsettling horror film whose cold touch lingers long beyond the closing credits.

The film's chilling lesson is timely.

The New Republic

The open-ended stakes of these genre experiments are rebellious at a time when horror movie messaging can feel so heavy-handed.

Toni Collette delivers a soul-shattering performance in Hereditary that reminds us how much sacrifice parenthood is and how deeply parents can scar their children, utterly beyond repair.

Hereditary is insane without being absurd or campy, or calculated in its provocation. Is it a masterpiece? I think it is.

Spotlight on Film

Where Hereditary truly impresses is in its setting-construction, in the unhurried building of one creepy atmosphere, in the attention to detail and characterisation.

A precision-tooled, dread-inducing atmosphere that refuses to loosen its grip.

Achei legal esse filme, muito bem construído, porém em uma das cenas mais pro final do filme o cachorro da família morreu, portanto não darei mais estrelas, pois a regra é básico se tem cachorro ele não pode morrer, isto vale também pra qualquer outros animais e produções com filme que tem participações em geral. Mas entendo que isto pode ocorrer para chocar o espectador.

I was super excited and felt prepared to watch hereditary before I saw it. And however much you think you’re ready to see this movie, you definitely aren’t. Holy mother flipping Jesus on a pizza! This is the craziest movie I’ve ever seen. I would love to recommend it, but I don’t know if I can do that to a sane person. This movie is extremely shocking, disturbing, and confusing. But it’s also very well acted and written and will leave you very entertained. I am fascinated about what is going on inside of Ari Aster’s brilliant, twisted mind that could conjure a movie like this. Toni Collette is phenomenal as Annie, who is a mother stricken by grief. You feel pain for her character throughout the story but also think she’s kind of nuts. But the performance I wasn’t expecting to be such a standout is Alex Wolff as Peter, who is also like the rest of his family being tortured because of the fate he inherited. The movie is pretty much about king Paimon trying to get inside of Peter and possess him. 9/10 masterful film that will terrify you no matter your tolerance for horror movies, but is pretty hard to follow and is pretty painful to sit through because of its heavy themes and disturbing story.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Overrated. Just overrated. Not scary at all, and some people say this is the scariest movie they’ve ever seen. I just don’t understand how someone can think this is scary.
