Hereditary

— Sometimes it’s hard to know if those Sundance darlings will live up to the hype, particularly when we’re talking about a horror film. “Heredity” really is a great example of a well done creepy, chilling, scary, bloody film that’s well written and orchestrated. Toni Collette deserves much of the credit since she’s the one whose grief, hatred, and shame are so believable. Somehow her reaction to the events is more unsettling to watch than the appalling acts themselves. This isn’t some campy horror film, it’s the real deal!
