After the death of her secretive mother, Annie Graham and her family begin experiencing increasingly disturbing and supernatural occurrences within their home. As Annie investigates her mother's hidden life and cult connections, the family is pulled into a devastating and inescapable hereditary curse. Hereditary is a slow-burning, deeply unsettling horror film celebrated for Toni Collette's extraordinary performance and its relentless atmosphere of dread.
Ari Aster films grief as inheritance and the inheritance as the cult that was waiting. The dread is family-budget; the climax is theological. The most-cited modern A24 horror for a reason.
