Stayed up too late last night watching
Hereditary. I was in the mood for some horror, and apparently this is going off of Netflix in a couple of weeks.
Very nicely crafted film. I love the sets (the house is practically the star of the movie), and the lighting is absolutely gorgeous. The acting is top-notch across the board, with masterclasses in miserable, haunted, horrified... Very affecting.
Story goes a bit off the rails and chooses the "open ended" option over the "tie up the loose ends thus retroactively cancelling all the horror" option. Call it the lesser of two evils LOL.
I got my money's worth when
the camera suddenly fixes on the mom on all fours on the ceiling, banging her head against the attic door. I don't scare easy, but that's just creepy AF. Well played.
