Horror movies are a popular film genre because they throw their protagonists into extreme situations and play with our own fears. In Hereditary, the horror takes place in one's own home, where a family experiences horrors.

Family can be something very beautiful – or it can turn into a nightmare. The family from Hereditary can sing a song about it, and it’s one that talks about death, grief, distrust, and occult rites.
After the death of her mother, Annie, who has her own family with two children, encounters strange occurrences in her house. What starts as an eerie ghost story contains several surprising twists and captivates with a slow, creeping, but increasingly intense horror that has resulted in some memorable scenes.
Hereditary is the prime example of modern horror films that focuses less on cheap jump scares and instead offers a harrowing viewing experience. Moreover, the film was the debut of Ari Aster, who has delivered another highly recommended horror movie with Midsommar.
