Horror Month Returns with the Deeply Unsettling 'Hereditary'
The trailer for 2018’s Hereditary implied a traditional batch of jump scares, creepy kids, and the general sort of haunting we’ve come to expect from modern horror. It’s a great feint, the first of many, because the movie itself ends up being quite slow, deliberate, and just plain wild.
You won’t find a more unsettling experience than writer-director Ari Aster’s debut, which makes it perfect for the return of In Reel Deep’s Horror Month. We delve into the nuts and bolts of what makes this movie work, including one of the most shocking deaths in recent cinematic history.
