| MOVIE - Hereditary |

HEREDITARY

SYNOPSIS: A grieving family experiences unnatural things.

RATING: 2.5/10
REVIEW: 
I really disliked this movie. It was intriguing in the beginning but not even halfway through the movie, things got boring. It had a very slow pacing and everything got confusing. The story went to weird directions and the ending sucked. Probably would have been better if there were back stories about the grandma. 

I absolutely felt nothing for the characters even though they were experiencing terrible things. The movie didn't feel like a horror to me. Sure, there were some jump-scare scenes but I really didn't feel scared. 

The actor for Peter didn't look anything like his family members. It distracted me because you can really see that they are not related in real life. Toni Colette's acting was great but I felt that at times it seems like she was overacting for a scene which resulted to me not appreciating some scenes more.

It didn't live up to the high rating it got on imdb for me. 

SHOULD YOU WATCH IT: Absolutely not (unless you want to waste 2 hours of your life).
WOULD I WATCH IT AGAIN: Absolutely not.

• The only scenes I found shocking / creepy were:
• When Charlie hit her head on the telephone pole and lost her head.
• Annie got possessed and started climbing the wall and slicing her head off.
• I really don't understand how the title is related to what happened in the movie. What is the hereditary part? The demon? The grandma's ritual? Paimon and Charlie? I am still so confusing.
• I am disappointed because I thought the grandma would play a whole bigger role rather than being a dead body with a missing head. Or even Charlie. Instead, we get Joan, a weirdo who just seemed like she lost her mind in trying to contact her dead grandchild. Did she really have a dead grandchild though?
• It felt unfair that Annie blamed Peter for everything especially since it was her fault that Charlie was with Peter. Charlie didn't want to go to the party but Annie made her go.
• It would have been better if we got to see more of Charlie rather than her being dead in the first few minutes. She could've been utilized more to bring creepiness to the story.
• The reveal that Joan and the grandma were friends didn't make such an impact on me. Even though it was supposed to be the climax part, I didn't feel anything. Also, why did Steve die when Annie threw the notebook? That was weird.
