Alex Wolff plays Peter's son in the horror movie "Hereditary" .
"Hereditary" has already been named the best horror film of the year – director Ari Aster's first feature film can even be measured against true classics of the genre
The Most important of a horror film is to be intimidated. that horror and discomfort remain in the audience long after leaving the cinema. Blood fountains and cheap shock effects can work for a moment, but the effect is easy to shake.
When this is written, it has been several hours since I saw "Hereditary" but the feeling of terror and discomfort learn to do it a long time. Ari Astrel's feature film (note, debut!) Can proudly unfold alongside classics such as "Rosemary's Baby", "Exorcist" and "The Shining".
The first scene of the film slowly takes us into a house near a bed where someone is lying down. But the picture turns into reality unnoticed – the one in bed is the son Peter and Steve's dad comes in and wakes him up at the grandmother's burial. This with the dollhouse is something that is included with the movie – the house where the family lives feels like a dollhouse. Are they all dolls in a scary game, anyone is in control?
The family in general consists of Mama Annie and her daughter Charlie. Annie's relationship with her mother was anything but good, although during the funeral speech she says that she loved him. One of the reasons for the conflict was that the grandmother attached it to Charlie, and the girl was doing things like cutting her head off a dead bird and stopping it in her pocket.
It would be a ruin if I got closer to the action. But events bring Annie into contact with a woman who claims to be a medium – and then everything literally starts going to hell.
One of the strengths of Aster's film is that it does not blow on blood and the effects (although there are some scenes that make you jump to). Instead, he slowly and methodically builds the mood until we see the end of the viewer. A brilliant sound work, a music that builds the atmosphere even when there is no threat in the image, a camera that shines often and makes us wonder if it's n & # 39; There is no or something in the corner – "Hereditary" is an example one builds an ever increasing fear of terror in the most effective way.
The fact that the four main holders are brilliant helpers of course. If Toni Collette does not get an Oscar nomination for Annie's role, it's something that's wrong.
It's hard for me to imagine that there will be a better horror film than "Hereditary" this year. And watch it at the cinema.
