Hereditary (2018) KILL COUNT

The clucking mechanic is so genius. Gives you cheap jumpscares whenever you want without detracting from the quality

You know the death is fucked when the bar doesn’t immediately pop up.

When Peter starts calling Annie “mommy” at the very end, that is definitely the smallest detail that affected me as much as it did. Ever since the sleepwalking incident, he hasn’t trusted his mother and felt like she doesn’t care about him. And after the horrific events of the movie, and them being angry at each other, all he wants is for Annie to just care about and love him. So when everything goes wrong, and Annie is possessed and chasing him, he calls her “mommy” because he thinks that the last time she loved him was when he was young enough to call her that. That shits just devastating to me.

The mom banging her head on the ceiling was definitely one of the most disturbing and terrifying moments for me. The head is something that people always protect so seeing someone intentionally banging their head super fast on the ceiling was genuinely one of the most terrifying moments besides Charlie’s obviously.

I feel the worst for Steve. Everyone is a victim in this, but he’s just a dad struggling to keep his family together, completely ignorant of the evil attacking his family.

Dude I cannot even fathom to imagine what Peter's experience of his sisters death was all while stoned out of his mind. It was probably worse than a fever dream.

The mother's raw scream on the floor after Charlie's death was quite extraordinary. It was so emotional it almost felt wrong to watch it. It was far too private for my eyes to see.

The fact that toni collette wasnt even nominated for an oscar is criminal. She did a performance of a lifetime

The marketing was perfect. Making it seem like Charlie was going to be the "creepy kid" the whole movie.

3:16 “I’ve always wanted to be in a horror movie.” I honestly find it heartwarming that she not only got her wish, but also that the movie she played in ended up being a hit.

Actually unbelievable how none of them got nominated for best performance, this acting is on a whole different level.

Funny story. First time I went to see Hereditary, the screen projector broke... And all you could hear was Charlies clicks. Pitch black theater and just "CLICK". Lotta the audience tried to laugh it off, but we were terrified as hell. We ended up getting a refund. Second time, I went with a friend and we were alone in the theater, goofing off and suddenly Charlie died. We both go dead silent and instantly feel awful for being dumb.

My jaw literally dropped at Charlie's decapitation. It was so sudden, and honestly oddly realistic. Death itself, especially freak accidents, don't have a build up, it just happens, and Peter's reaction was so raw

Toni Collette and Alex Wolff not even being considered for an award is just more proof that the horror genre doesn't get the respect it deserves

I’m actually impressed by how accurate King Paimon’s powers are portrayed in the movie. He prefers to inhabit the body of men, inflicts severe torment on his victims which includes recreating traumatic events, and creates horrifying visions and nightmares. Ari Aster definitely did some research on the Ars Goetia before making this movie.

Honestly the look of shock and horror the brother has, as he realizes his sister is dead is so believable and disturbing, incredible acting all around. It’s so realistic and insane as you see the realization completely shuts him down emotionally as he just drives away trying to pretend nothing happened at all. You see this mental state as he lays in his bed throughout the night you can easily imagine what he’s think as he comes to the realization of what he did and that his life will never be the same again as he enjoys his last moments of his parents being unaware of what has happened. It’s so horrifying and believable, I could easily see myself reacting in the same fashion if I had gone through that horrifying scenario.

The fact that Alex had to go to therapy after filming this... Everyone talks about Toni's performance but Alex was so incredible. His acting made the movie. I feel so sad that he struggled afterward but I'm not shocked at all since he reaalllyyy had to go there to perform like that

That scream that the mom did when she discovered Charlie’s corpse... that scared me the most. The pure emotion of grief and agony... I had to turn the movie off. I think it even gave me a fear of screams like that, which is something I didn’t have before. So yeah- kudos to that actress.

Everyone always talks about Charlie not being more careful when eating the chocolate cake that may or may not have nuts in it. The cake didn’t have nuts though. In an earlier scene before Charlie is having reactions, you can see a group of people cutting nuts with a knife. They use the same knife to cut the cake. Cross contaminating.
