Movie: Hereditary

[motorharp]

A woman’s mother dies and then her family starts experiencing a series of terrifying events culminating in one of the most unexpected endings of a horror movie I’ve ever seen. It was so good!

Toni Collette's in this, right? I think I wanted to see it, but then I heard more about it & decided it might be too scary for me. What do you think?

I think it would be too scary for you, since you don't watch a lot of horror. There were a lot of standard horror movie tropes - person crawling up the wall, person standing in the shadows - that I was able to say "Oh, that's that thing," and not be scared by it. But also remembering they are all actors, and imagining the director directing them, and possible outtakes. The ending also made it not-scary for me - it was so unexpected! If you do want to try it, I will watch it with you. The library has it streaming.
