When Ellen, the matriarch
of the Graham family, passes away, her daughter's family begins to
unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their
ancestry. The more they discover, the more they find themselves
trying to outrun the sinister fate they seem to have inherited.
Making his phenomenal
feature debut, writer-director Ari Aster unleashes a nightmare
vision of a domestic breakdown that exhibits the craft and precision
of a nascent auteur, transforming a familial tragedy into something
ominous and deeply disquieting. Hereditary pushes the horror
movie into chilling new terrain with its shattering portrait of
heritage gone to hell.
