Film Recommendation – Hereditary

Hereditary.

A chilling horror film that focuses on a haunted family, the daughter of which is secretly the host for a demon king. Throughout the film, each member of the family is affected, one by one, until eventually the true intent of the hauntings is exposed.

When watching this film initially, it was not particularly enjoyable to me since i’m not a fan of horror movies. However after digging into the plot and looking at the context, the whole story made sense and came together very well.

not for the faint of heart, there is a good amount of gore in this film and the psychological horror aspect can be upsetting to some viewers.

if i had the choice to watch it again  i probably would not as is not as interesting when you know the whole plot. However it is worth a watch for the first time and watching the plot reveal itself can be very intriguing.

this film is rated 15+
