The story
Ari Aster's debut is the most talked-about horror film of the decade. After the matriarch dies, the Graham family unravels as dark secrets surface — miniature dioramas, a cult, and a grief that becomes possession. Hereditary is grief as horror.
Details the desk keeps
- Ari Aster wrote the script after his own grandmother's death — the grief is real.
- Toni Collette's performance is widely called one of the best horror performances ever.
- The miniature houses in the film were built by a professional miniaturist — and mirror the real sets exactly.
- The film was shot in sequence so the family's disintegration felt real.
