Hereditary unleashes horror as a deeply human horror
Ari Aster’s film begins as a very depressing family drama in which Annie (Toni Collette) deal with the death of her mother got to. While Annie’s husband Steve (Gabriel Byrne), overwhelmed, distances himself and mostly stays silent in the background, the two children react much more strongly to the death of their grandmother. Son Peter (Alex Wolff) remains remarkably unaffected and daughter Charlie (Milly Shapiro) worried about who is taking care of her.
Conventional shock moments are almost entirely absent from Hereditary. In addition to disorienting dream sequences, the director replaces them with emotional shocks. A scene before half of the film with a post, which we won’t spoil here, is so surprising and shocking that some of them permanently traumatized could become.
For a long time in Aster’s work, horror is not an inexplicable presence that attacks from outside, but a horror deeply rooted in the human being. Ari Aster lets hints of haunted house elements and demon terror in one excessive finale explode in which Hereditary finally escalates into a horror orgy.
