Hereditary - Movie Review

[ashdoc]

The critics are singing praises of this movie , and all major reviewers have given high praises to this horror movie . Which is why I went to see it . But on seeing it I found that the movie is for the high fundoo reviewers only . Only self proclaimed 'intellectuals' will like it . The common people won't.

Grandmother dies . She has had a troubled relationship with her daughter , mother of grand daughter Charlie and son . Charlie begins to see visions of her grandmother and follow them . She is a strange looking child . Her brother takes her to a party where she falls sick and he has to rush her to a doctor by his car . But she is so sick that she bobs her head out of the window and when her brother is forced to swerve the car to avoid something on the road her head hits an obstacle and is chopped off .

Mother son relationship which is already on the rocks goes off the rocker with this horrific death . Mother has sleepwalking problem and we don't know when she is really sleepwalking or having nightmares , or her son is having nightmares . Soon mother goes to a group for consoling people coping with grief and tells her problems . One day she is invited by Annie to do a seance to communicate with the dead . The seance is so effective that mother decides to do the seance in her house , forcing her reluctant husband and son to participate in it .

After the seance , Charlie makes her appearance felt in the house by turning pages of a book she used to draw on . The son bangs his head into his table in classroom in school in front of the girl he likes . At this juncture , mother discovers a dead body in the attic , which has it's head cut off just as Charlie had her head cut off in her accident . Mother discovers from old photos that Annie was actually grandmother's friend , so she had been probably sent by grandmother to communicate with dead Charlie . Mother tries to burn the drawing book of Charlie , only to discover that she is burning herself . So she has to remove the book from the fireplace . She then asks her husband to burn the book , which leads to him being burnt completely .

Son wakes from his sleep to see his mother being lifted to the tree house outside his house . His dead grandmother who was a witch is behind all this . He is soon forced to become king of hell , which is what his grandmother wanted him to be . The soul of king of hell had been mistakenly born in his sister Charlie , but now it has been successfully transplanted into him .

Colours and photography and background music is good . But movie is not scary at all . Horror jolts are not much effective .

Verdict---Bad movie with bizarre ending .

I agree. Please don't give any push to this TDLR trend... sounds as stupid as a teen's chat conversation. Movie reviews are one of the only few things left to browse for on echarcha. Many a time the only thing you stay on for a few more seconds while reading. Why is echaraha pai putting kulhadi to own feet by his insistence on TLDR

If I ever come across this movie, "Hereditary", on Netflix or at the local library... the above review gives no clue to me as to watch this movie or not. Heck, it does not even recommend whether to watch it or not. To what purpose is such a review

You think I keep echarcha alive for anyone to love it?

You are mistaken. I dont give a flying

I dont give a heck in hell on what anyone thinks.

I will write TL;DR reviews.. no other site has it.. I look for such reviews.. like those on IMDB under the Plot Synopsis section.

You like long reviews? Fine.. read what ashdoc writes..

You dont like TL;DR reviews? Fine.. skip my reviews...

ashdoc, you dont have it in you to think and summarize your own writings.. So fuck you ... your reviews are verbal diarrhea and I dont care if you find my short reviews stupid!

This should send a clear message to someone who is doing a phd on forums and keeps complaining about EC and yet can't stay away from it.
