It would seem the Hollywood tradition started in the 1980's of false reviews made by either non-existent people or people paid to write glowing assessments is alive and well. That is my only way of explaining why this film is so highly regarded. I went to the user review area of IMDB just to see if I was missing something or if others thought this good looking, atmospheric, well acted two hour...

While psychological horror movies seem to be a thing of the past, with movies of this nature cropping up once every little while, _Hereditary_ creeps along with the force of looming evil. This isn't an average Halloween, popcorn-at-the-theatre moviegoing experience. Instead, what we are presented with is palpable heaviness for the better half of two hours while tensions rise in a dwindling househo...

Simple Simon met the Pieman playing with a knife. Said Simple Simon to the Pieman: "Will you take my life?" _Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time._

I've been meaning to watch this movie for a while now and made the mistake of watching this 12 at night while I was alone (Don't do that!) Usually horror movies don't effect me and if they do its usually while the movie is playing. But this movie has stayed with me for days now. I can't get it out of my head. This is not a movie for someone who wants jump scares, slasher death/screams or a movie t...

<em>'Hereditary'</em> is strong horror fare! I did find the opening half of the film the strongest, in the second half I lost interest ever so slightly and the ending underwhelms a tiny bit. It does, however, do impressive work in creating an unsettling environment to tell its story - there are one or two moments that did surprise me, a lot. Toni Collette gives a brilliant performance, one t...

Toni Collette is great in this family drama with quite a few gruesome twists! She is "Annie" who is mourning the recent death of her over-bearing mother. Except, as we discover when she goes to one of those bereavement groups, we discover that they were estranged and hadn't spoken for ages. Shortly after the funeral, husband "Steve" (Gabriel Byrne) is made aware of some unsavoury developments and ...
