I saw Hereditary recently for the first time. It reminded me of The Witch. Which I thought was a far better take on the realistic horror movie. At least a horror movie that doesn't scream horror to normal audiences but more family trauma I guess. That's what I thought I was going to see as I kept hearing about the lead actress performance. Hereditary actually explains what's going on when the Mother character reads about it in a book or journal. I can't remember which. But you could tell something was happening with the strange light effect that happened a few times. And of course the chanting people.
And although what happens to a character early on is really harsh. When you remember what happened in a few earlier scenes. Plus the revelation of the character. Then it loses it's impact. At least for me.
Kind of a spoiler but I also thought Autopsy of Jane Doe was a lot better than Hereditary as well. I wasn't going to watch that one but it was recommended by a bunch of people here.
Also I hated the son character in Hereditary. I thought he was supposed to be adopted. Which I guess would have made more sense to the story.
