Talk about the horror of the movie (personal)

Let me start with the shortcomings of the film: the foreshadowing is too long. It all exploded in the next half hour, but it was not very explosive. I have opened this movie three times, and I slept to death the first two times. It's just that the front part is too tedious!

Where does it make me feel like my hair is standing up?

1. Actor's acting bonus: Needless to say, my mother's acting skills, is my mother real? ! The son's acting is also very good, especially the sense of panic and powerlessness.

2. Depression brought about by fate: This kind of evil thing inherited in the family, the family itself is secretly fragmented and vulnerable, not to mention the powerlessness that grandma is the leader of the cult and put the family in a trap. Especially the feeling of powerlessness and fear that the heroine's mother felt for a moment after she found out the truth, she wanted to tell her husband! But in a short time to save the child! Husband doesn't understand! This feeling! what! ! ! Heart is burning!

3. Cult and supernatural: The director chose the right subject matter. Occultism itself is a bit of a wicked thing. To be honest, the part where the heroine invites the pen fairy to summon the soul is not scary, maybe the foreign pen fairy is not frightening enough. What's really scary is the weird and terrifying setting where the heroine finds out that the devil wants three female heads.

In general, the biggest highlight of hereditary doom is the Greek-style tragic protagonist. The protagonists who know their own doom are powerless no matter how they struggle to save themselves, this is really a tragedy within a tragedy

    The director's level is surprisingly superb, and "Doll House" is also very successful as a new horror symbol. Screams, (comparable to the voice of the voice queen Kayako), tongue and...cute wailing one after another, all kinds of everyday sounds are also given a sense of horror, the use of sound elements is quite wonderful, Toni · Colette's hysterical state is even more cripple (with a sense of joy). The family fear of "The Witch" + the religious subversion of "The Exorcist" & "Rosemary's Baby" + the indiscriminate evil of "The Grudge", the role of mother with this family story is even a bit reminiscent of "Masked" Or "Still in the Mirror" (don't care how I think of it)...

    180821 Rewatch, slightly reduced points. A genre-wrapped classic tragedy that's a bit darker than Jordan Peele's, but both are very effective at squeezing comedy time into a thriller atmosphere (the mother attached to the ceiling at the end and the intense later). headbutt), of course, compared to the stupid jokes about Lynch in "Desperate" (the film itself is ridiculously stupid), looking back at Fredkin and Polanski in this film, I still More willing to believe in the possibility of Ali Esther's future.

Hereditary quotes

  • Peter: You okay, Mom?

    Annie: What?

    Peter: Is there something on your mind?

    Annie: Is there something on *your* mind?

    Peter: Just seems like there... might be something you... wanna say.

    Steve: Peter.

    Annie: Like what? I mean, why would I wanna say something so I can watch you sneer at me?

    Peter: Sneer at you? I don't ever sneer at you.

    Annie: Oh, sweetie, you don't have to. You get your point across.

    Peter: Okay, so, fine, then say what you wanna say, then.

    Steve: Peter.

    Annie: I don't wanna say anything. I've tried saying...

    Peter: Okay, so try again. Release yourself.

    Annie: Oh, release you, you mean?

    Peter: Yeah, fine, release me, just say it! Just fucking say it!

    Annie: DON'T you swear at me, you little shit! Don't you EVER raise your voice at me! I am your mother! You understand? All I do is worry and slave and defend you, and all I get back is that fucking face on your face! So full of disdain and resentment and always so annoyed! Well, now your sister is dead! And I know you miss her and I know it was an accident and I know you're in pain and I wish could take that away for you. I WISH I could shield you from the knowledge that you did what you did, but you're sister is dead! She's gone forever! And what a waste... if it could've maybe brought us together, or something, if you could've just said "I'm sorry" or faced up to what happened, maybe then we could do something with this, but you can't take responsibility for anything! So, now I can't accept. And I can't forgive. Because... because NOBODY admits anything they've done!

    Peter: [crying] Why did you try to kill me?

    Annie: I didn't! I was trying to save you!
