From start to finish, Hereditary absolutely does not let up and never gives the audience a chance to decompress. It's one of the most relentless movies I've seen in a long time. I love the way that we eventually learn that all of these characters were just NPCs in somebody else's story. It's great for re-watching. Everything about it is great.
Just missed the cut for me. It was ok.
One of the few movies in the last 20 years that actually scared me.
This was the main one I wanted to rewatch for this and was dreading. Relentless is a great word for it, and IMO this is the best horror movie in decades. I ended up buying the 4k and watching it 4x since then.
Watching an older Damien kill his cousin by causing him to have a brain aneurism really ****ed me up badly as a young child.
Has the most shocking scene in horror, IMO. Brilliant film, but not sure I want to watch it again.
It was on my leftover list after my 75. I liked it but didn't think it was great.
That and the doctor getting sliced in half in the elevator by that runaway wire.
Wasn't aimed at you, it was left off a few lists.

I haven't seen this but since it was so highly ranked, I just watched. It was too slow for me and then just got weird. Would it make my top 75? Probably but barely.
Yeah, it plays as much as a traumatic family drama as anything else. I think this is the reason why I've been surprised that so many non-horror fans like it. The weirdness makes way more sense on rewatches and adds to the brilliance, IMO.
Imo, that is Aster's brilliance. Same thing with Midsommer, it takes more than one watch to see/get more of the movie.
My wife and I re-watched this last night. I should have rated it a little higher. The cinematography is great, and the kid who plays Damien is genuinely creepy. The first third or so of the movie is really good. The problem is that this film really slows down when Damien is off stage, and there's a fairly long section in the middle of the movie where I feel like it loses momentum. Still, I dinged it too much for that on my first pass.
