Reminds me of when someone finally explained depression in an accurate way. "Depression isnt sadness. Sadness is sadness, I'd kill for sadness. Depression is emptiness, I can't make myself care enough to feel sad, or happy, or horny, or disappointed. I feel nothing." Why watch a movie that makes you feel actually afraid, sad, or some other "bad" emotion? Because feeling things is kind of satisfying for us. If a movie can still make you feel anything (other than meta stuff like feeling ripped off) fucking cherish that while you can.

That pretty much sums up anyone coming off of antidepressants medication. My uncle Phil was one amazing guy, always looked over us, a good role model, and a huge video gamer. I was utterly devastated when he passed away. I coped by watching a lot of movies and television shows, and avoiding old school games like Final Fantasy and The Legend of Zelda. That was sadness. The day my doctor took me off of antidepressants medication. Fucking nothing, absolutely nothing could fill the void. Everything was shit. My favorite shows like Game of Thrones was shit, my favorite games was shit. Nothing felt right. I couldn't find anything appealing or enjoyable. -- The messed up part... I was only on it for 30 days. I would rather be sad then to ever be in that place ever again.

He slid out in the rain and took the head off this fourteen year old girl he barely knew. That girl had three siblings, and her mother outlived all of them... what is grief -- or hell, what is life -- other than railing against fate? And you get the impression that it doesn't matter whether there was ever a demon or not, it doesn't change anything. You're still to blame for what you did.

Jump scares in a horror film is like a Comedian making you laugh by tickling you

@QwertyCaesar

6 жыл бұрын

Dan Harrison King Not all of them are terrible. A few movies actually know how to use them well. For example, The Thing has two jump scares (three if you count the blood test - I don't) but they're actually phenomenally executed and the entire film's cinematography (character entrances from the left from the first shot of the film) and motion of action (likewise, it is mostly left to right throughout the whole film) are subverted in those moments so it isn't like they're sloppily tossed in, not to mention that they aren't edited like most jump scares, which usually involves a quick cut away after the scare happens. The scares are not some spooky noise off screen nor is it just a harmless distraction. I could make a ten or fifteen minute video about just those two jump scares. Jump scares aren't inherently bad, it's just that almost nobody puts any actual craftsmanship into them. Some directors think of how a jump scares may work in the context of a single scene but, like any other scary moment, it has to constructed within the context of the entire film to be any good.

The whole thing with the miniatures I felt was to parallel how their whole lives are being controlled by the dead mother and her cultist friends, they're all pawns in a game they can't see or comprehend or escape. The movie definitely had a very Greek tragedy feel to it, which I know some people told me they hated, that nothing anyone could have done would have mattered since all the events are set in motion way before the movie even starts, before the main characters are even born. I loved that about it though, makes it way darker on retrospect and connects to the theme of hereditary mental illness being something you can't ever escape.

About the part with the telephone pole with the sign and it's a convoluted plan, while Peter is in class (I think it's during the 'generic buttshot' scene) the teacher is talking about Greek Tragedies and this exchange occurs: Teacher: So if we go by the rule that the hero is undone by his fatal flaw, what is Heracles’ flaw? Bridget: Arrogance. Teacher: Okay, why? Bridget: Because he literally refuses to look at all the signs that are being literally handed to him the entire play. Teacher: Okay, interesting! So he thinks he has control. But let's all remember: Sophocles wrote the oracle so that it was unconditional. Meaning Heracles never had any choice. Right? So, does this make it more tragic or less tragic than if he did have a choice? Student: Less! Teacher: Okay, why? Student: Because! Teacher: Care to weigh in, Peter? Peter: Um … about which part? Student: I think it's more tragic because if it’s all just inevitable, then that means that the characters had no hope, they never had hope, because they’re just like pawns in this horrible, hopeless machine. One of the powers being attributed to Paimon is 'Knowledge of past and future events' so it could still be possible for him to orchestrate it. And it could also refer to the 'Oracle' in the exchange about Heracles' flaw The Heracles flaw may also call back to Toni Collette's Brother, he didn't have that flaw and knew he couldnt shake free of it like in an horror movie so he killed himself because he saw the signs in time and was able to kill himself before being prisoner of the 'oracle' Ari Aster also seems to like foreshadowing a lot, so it may also just be an excuse for him to use it as much as possible :P

Look at all that came of his family's "coping mechanisms", while dad just snagged some appropriate meds and kept on keeping on. Imagine off mom and son had done the same, maybe seen a therapist or something while they were at it. Probably reading farrr more into this than intended but I've known enough people who were falling apart mentally yet eschewed the most direct (and probably effective) treatments in favor of unhealthy and ineffectual ones to get something from it.

The hook is the slow realisation that this family was cursed and that there was absolutely nothing they could do to stop it. They were fated to fulfill the wishes of Paimon. There was no hope. Once you realise that it sets the film up for a second viewing, just to see the level of powerlessness that was present. My initial reaction to the ending was one of frustration at the fact that I thought in some way someone, like Peter, would escape it. This then turned to admiration for not following that trope, and the true horror in knowing that there was no hope whatsoever for this family. Brilliant film.

Almost every shot with two people talking was back-lit. I watched it on a 20 foot screen and could barely make out their faces. One scene in particular scene at the end, Solo, Beckett, and Qi'Ra were facing three different directions on a sunny day and all three were back lit. I mean, really? Really? I liked pretty much everything else though, except atrocity that was Han's last name reveal of course. That was just stupid.

The miniature thing points to the fact that the family has been watched from the outside by this cult for years and years. These horrific traumas (suicide etc) being orchestrated by granny herself and her friends following the progress. This is underlined further by scenes of the family members literally being watched by strangers (at the funeral, at school, outside the house, inside the house). I would love for Mike and Jay to do a re-view of this one in the future. It is close to a masterpiece in my opinion, and one of the few horror movies that actually terrified me as an adult.

Mike's alternate ending would have been the greatest thing to ever happen in any cinematic experience to date

Jay: "Hey, Mike, I've got an idea! Do you want to feel miserable for the next two hours?" Mike: "As opposed to what?" 😂😂😂😂

23:05 not sure if someone has already pointed this out in the comments but the miniature house does provide context to the movie that the actual house and the people in it are monitored by the cult and a lot of events that happened are pre meditated by the cult and aided by the demon. It's like Toni is working on the miniature not knowing that she herself is part of a bigger set being played by the cult.

I don't think Charlie was as innocent as we think. I interpreted it as Paimon was already possessing Charlie but because she was a female he was unhappy and needed a male host. So when Peter was frantically driving her to the hospital, Paimon was already aware of the pole being on the road they were driving on and stuck Charlie's head out the window to be decapitated as part of the ritual to ultimately possess Peter.

I love how poignantly the horror is projected from actors' reactions in this film: their countenances, their movements, their eyes. We experience their horror.

The whole point of the film was that the family (unbeknownst to themselves) were just the next generation of a long-standing demon bloodline and were always under the influence of the cult. The cults mission was to bring a Demon into this world. This Demon, called Paimon, prefers a healthy male body that he can possess. The original plan was for Peter to become Paimon. When he was young, the plan failed as the family fell out with the grandmother and moved away. Eventually they reconnect and the daughter is used instead. The grandmother “stabs her hooks in”, “feeds her”, essentially feeding the demon within her and making it stronger than the host. For Paimon to successfully possess the body of the next host, previous hosts must be decapitated. Thus, creating the sole ruler King Paimon. So as the cult manipulate the world around the family, in the end, the cult succeed, and the family always had about as much control of their own lives, as the miniatures had over theirs. They were destined to be the sacrificial lambs from the very beginning. No hope. This is easily one the greatest horror movies ever. Watch it again and again and you will see things you definitely missed the first time. It has feels of old 70s horror films but the outstanding direction from Ari Aster and superb acting catapult this horror masterpiece into the fucking stratosphere!!!!!!

Horror movies tend to have a boon period during times of economic certainty and under conservative stewardship of the government. This are by no means definitive measures but this phenomenon has been documented and written about at length. Economic displacement is obviously worrisome for folks and I doubt that needs an explanation but conservative politicians are more likely to stoke the flames of social anxiety about by antagonizing for brownie points which causes unrest. To give a recent example of that look to around 2015 when transgender issues started hitting the mainstream. You'd think that transgender folks just popped out of the aether and started walking into public toilets in the nude. Now during the Obama presidency there were a lot of gains for the transgender community that didn't warrant any mainstream attention until then. Why? Obergefel v. Hodges was decided. Couldn't effectively use that as a social issue to draw out the vote because, well, a Supreme Court ruling is pretty final. Hence comes a whole new set of made up social anxieties to rile people up. Even though we never needed laws before and we all knew that transgender people existed for the better part of a century suddenly there's a whole new set of concerns regarding transgender people like using the restroom or getting birth certificates changed. Again, this was all a addressed by Obama earlier in his tenure and nobody gave a shit. Creating a bad guy like that for somebody to beat up is a lot more effective for getting people to vote than pointing to vague numbers that say our economy is bad. This cultural anxiety creates a new source of worry that can be used in film from the perspective of the majority as well as that of the targeted minority.

This is one of the greatest horror movies. The paranoia of all these members of this cult in this town that worked to get their demon with a new host is so scary. There were so many signs were this cult is trying to tear this family apart. And the fact people actually worship this demon to this day is extra creepy

I took the doll miniature aspect as that's how the family was being treated by the cult, like pawns.

Thus he doesn't see the supernatural plot against them even after it should be obvious even to him that something is very, very wrong (e.g. after the Charlie seance scene; his son breaking his face on his desk shortly after his mother-in-law and daughter died in quick succession; the corpse in the attic). He's useless/clueless and it enhances the sense of isolation felt by the rest of the family; Annie in particular is unable to make herself understood.

I read online that he is a therapist by profession. They cut that explaining that detail from the final movie, but it explains how he is trying to bring stability to all remaining people in the family even though everyone is going insane. He struggles with going along with the ritualistic ways to solve grief (doing seance and stuff) in order for Annie to get some closure and trying to salvage the relationship between Peter and her mother out of concern for Peter. In the end Paimon lights him on fire because in trying to stabilize the mental condition of Peter and Annie he makes them both less susceptible to possession by Paimon. I really dig how destroying the mental stability of Peter is explained as good plot device because it makes him more susceptible to possession by Paimon, the ultimate goal of the cult.

To go off the father being the straight man in this, you also need to look at it as just a movie about a stressed family dynamic: he is the silent, authority figure that everyone relies on but he has no one to rely on, himself. His role as father and husband is to be someone for Annie to push away and someone to mediate between Annie and Peter. He is also grieving for his dead daughter, his son who is having all these issues, and his wife literally going insane. He's losing everyone around him and they're all looking to him for support but he gets nothing from them back.

Actually I took it as the cult succeeded in putting the demon into the daughter, but she didn't suffice, because the demon wanted a male body. So the sister was just temporary & the brother's the permanent possession. And Jay's right about those shitty reviews..lmao, this movie was dreadful, creepy & definitely scary.

I haven't watched a movie start to finish in YEARS

when I go see a movie (particularly horror), I let myself become completely emotionally vulnerable to the plot. I want to give it every opportunity to scare me senseless. this movie did it perfectly. nothing felt like a stupid decision just to further the plot. a lot of people say it drags in the middle, but I dont think that's a fair statement. this movie turns grief into a different type of horror to face, and then returns to terror. hereditary really got under my skin and hit raw nerves I have from my own family. if you classify a good horror film as having jump scares (like that bullshit Sinister movie) then you aren't appreciating what horror is. its not about being startled for a brief minute, it's about an attack on your psyche.

Krista Caswell absolutely. Fuck, the screams when she saw Charlie in the car... I literally fucking vomited. The grief in there was so fucking raw. So. Fucking. Raw. Reminded me of when I had to give a baby CPR.

The only thing I thought that the family did that was a "stupid decision" was that they always forget Charlie's epi pen. But then again, part of the movie is about how the family has no real choice over their own fate, which is likely why they always forget to bring it.

One of the main points of the movie was fate and destiny. It’s why they told the stories of Oedipus and Heracles in the high school classes. Characters doomed by fate and prophesy that they could not escape. This family was doomed before they began; the cult didn’t “plan” to have Charlie lose her head on the pole; they just knew it would happen. It was her destiny to die, just as it was Peter’s destiny to become the vessel for the demon. As the professor asks in Peter’s class, “does this make the story more tragic or less tragic?”
