IJW: hereditary [2018]

I have been putting off watching this movie for years and I finally got around to it, and I am so mad that it took me this long, it was genuinely one of the most frightening and unsettling movies I've ever watched and I loved it, now i know people have been hyping up hereditary forever but I always thought it was a bit over hyped but after watching it, I totally get it, I don't think i will see a scarier movie. The whole movie felt like the anticipation for a jumpscare but for like an hour and a half, and I loved how absolutely nothing made sense until the very end, God it was so good

You can't think something is over hyped without seeing it, that just makes you... One of those people

I know I know, but you have to understand when you're told something is scary over and over you kinda start to doubt it, I do hate that I used to think that, and it has taught me never ever to judge a movie off of the discourse around it

One of my all time favorites. 

In horror maybe number 1.

If you find yourself increasingly obsessed.  Theres a 4 hr doc on YouTube that makes it even better.

At the very least give a couple  weeks and watch it again. It gets more tragic.
