Hereditary
Meet the dysfunctional Graham family for some horror fun & games. Annie (Toni Collette) is the miniature model building matriarch whose reclusive, secretive, domineering mother has just passed away. Charlie is the weird 13-year-old daughter who seems almost autistic. Peter is the teenage weed smoking son. Steve (Gabriel Byrnes) is the rational voice of reason husband. As tragedies befall the family & secrets are slowly uncovered, grief overwhelms Annie who then seeks comfort in a support group. The first half in a slow burn of uneasiness & unsettling things that will make you wonder where is this film going. Is it about ghosts, the supernatural, possession, witches, or maybe the occult? Collette is fantastic as the mom. Is she an innocent pawn or the root of evilness? Things start to get creepier & weird as the story accelerates to the end.
Alien gives it 2½ “decapitation” stars out of 4.
