Man guess I'm in the minority for this on this forum but Hereditary is the pinnacle horror movie for me, I've seen it like 6 times and love it every single time. Doesn't resort to jump scares, acting is incredible and the movie is just a batshit thrillride the entire time. I think I'm different when I watch movies as I don't really care if something has done a similar concept before because usually the execution is different enough which it is here. Also this movie introduced the head banging possession scene thing, at least 3 movies this year and last have all had a similar scene.
I agree. Hereditary is the best horror movie of all time, so far, for me.
I forgot to mention that, I really hate the jumpscare trope as well, and I appreciate that it didn't use it.
It's always low frequency hum then high pitch noise and the first one is always the fake scare then the "monster" after the tension was semi defused. Also I swear to god the fucking half closed pill cabinet mirrors that are then closed to reveal something give me eye cancer.
