Whenever I finish watching a new movie, I like to go to Reddit and browse the discussion threads to see what people thought of it. From now on, I'll start a thread here if it doesn't already exist.

What did you think of the movie? How did you interpret the ending? Feel free to discuss anything about the movie you like.

I'm a fan of horror in general, but I don't have a lot of time to watch movies, so when I do, I get really picky about what to watch. So let me tell you, Hereditary did NOT dissapoint. Probably my faviorate horror movie.

I watched it with a couple of friends after midnight. We joked throughout the movie, and it still made us feel nervous. The acting, the sound/music, and the unexpected story line are all perfect. The casual grandma "ghost" at the start sets it up to be a generic ghost haunting story, which made the actual storyline of demons/cult more impressive. Not sure if that was the reason for the scene, because it was genuis.

The scene where Annie is standing on the wall in the background, and hitting the attic door with her head made me shit bricks.

The ending was a bit confusing at first (calling Peter Charlie for example), but after reading some explanations online, I think its a great ending.

Also the amount of small details is mindboggling. Seeing the chuclkboard being purchased by Joanne for example. Makes rewatching the movie a must.

Amazing movie overall.
