Hereditary

Synopsis

When the matriarch of the Graham family passes away, her daughter Annie reacts in an unexpected fashion. Despite having a very difficult, fractured relationship with her mother, she begins to attend a grief support group in secret, despite her skepticism over its usefulness. Meanwhile her children are acting up in different ways: Peter wants to attend parties instead of concentrating at school, whereas his 13 year-old sister Charlie is engaging in some unsettling behaviour. When tragedy strikes, the family begin to wonder whether some sinister presence is imposing increasingly strange occurrences upon their lives. ‘Hereditary’ is a smart, fresh horror film, defying audience expectations and genre conventions with plenty of twists and turns along the way.
