Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaToni Collette had told her agent that she didn't want to do any more heavy, dark films and only wanted to do comedies, but she loved the "Hereditary" script so much she couldn't turn it down.
- Goofs(at around 1h 8 mins) For portions of Joan's instructions to Annie, as Annie is leaving Joan's apartment, the lips don't match the words, notably the comment that the husband and brother need to be 'in the house.'
- Quotes
Annie: I never wanted to be your mother.
Peter: Why?
Annie: I was scared. I didn't feel like a mother. But she pressured me.
Peter: Then why did you have me?
Annie: It wasn't my fault! I tried to stop it.
Peter: How?
Annie: I tried to have a miscarriage.
Peter: How?
Annie: However I could. I did everything they told me not to do, but it didn't work. I'm happy it didn't work.
Peter: You tried to kill me.
Annie: No, I love you!
Peter: [crying] Why did you try to kill me?
Annie: I didn't! I was trying to save you!
- Crazy creditsThe first minute of the closing credits is a list of vertically-scrolling names, where a random letter of each person's name is hi-lighted in a different color, then drops down to form the words of the next person's name in line.

Featured review
CREEPING PENETRATING PSYCHOLOGICAL/SUPERNATURAL HORROR
Generally Regarded as one of the Better Horror Movies of Recent Years.
It's one that Slow-Burns and Creeps Under Your Skin and into Your Head.
Debut Movie for Writer/Director Ari Aster (followed by "Midsommar" (2020).
The Film is Highlighted by some Incredible Camera Work and a Bravura Performance from Toni Collette.
The Other Actors Deliver Riveting Roles that are Demanding and Essential to the Power of this Haunting and Harrowing Movie.
Not Without some Issues, like the Over Two Hour Running Time that is Pushing the Limits of such a Nerve-Racking Template to the Extreme.
The Ending can Alienate some Viewers with a Cultish Trope that can be Over-the-Top or Downright Bizarre.
There is No Doubt that this is a most Unsettling Film.
It is Not an Easy Watch, it's Presented with Painstaking Images with a Rhythm and Style at a Pondering Pace .
Viewers with Patience will be Rewarded while others may Head for the Exits.
Not for Everyone .
If Cerebral Horror with a Slow-Burn is what You Seek, Look No Further.
This is a Well Crafted Exploration of Generational Dysfunction with an Infection of Supernatural Evil.
