Months ago, I was so excited to hear about a new horror movie being released: Ari Aster's 'Hereditary'. In my opinion, recent horror movies are barely scary, painfully cliche, and predictable, almost to the point where they're hard to watch. So, when I heard all the ranting and raving about the film, I had to check out the trailer for myself.

The trailer shares a story about a family that is coping with the recent death of the wife's mother. It seems as if paranormal occurrences start to take place as soon as the mother dies. The two main characters that are portrayed to be struggling the most with the recent events are the wife and the young daughter. Thanks to the suspenseful music, facial expressions of the characters (at one point the mother screams frantically without any audio for the audience to hear) and special effects, one can almost be certain that 'Hereditary' is a solid horror movie.
