"She wasn't altogether there at the end." (Daughter Annie describes her recently deceased mother's demeanor just prior to her death).

Another horror flick with a seemingly happy, functioning family at its core, hot on the heels of A Quiet Place. Hereditary is getting the same, if not better, critiques but for me the former is by far the superior film. Tony Collette (Annie) plays the vulnerable mother and meticulous miniaturist who draws on all our dark senses as she deals with tragedy, blackness and more blackness. Undercurrents of spiritual unpleasantness brew around her after the death of her mother. Husband Steve (Gabriel Byrne) is Annie's rock and brilliantly cast children Peter (Alex Wolff) and Charlie (Milly Shapiro) all band together to take us on an emotional rollercoaster ride via close-ups, cut aways and subtle light definitions. The ending will have you thinking through the triggers that came earlier. This is Ari Aster's first feature as a director and he's nailed Hereditary to a point. But I say again, it's not as effecting as A Quiet Place. 8GUMS.
