“Hereditary” (** out of four) was a trite horror thriller about a daughter (Toni Collette) whose mother and daughter both die suddenly leading her on a mental and emotional breakdown that uncovers dark secrets about her family (Alex Wolff and Gabriel Byrne) and their ancestry. Intriguing and interesting at first but story stalls after a while, and becomes yet another movie about exorcisms and paranormal activity. Collette’s first-rate performance makes up for a lot but even she gets swallowed up by film’s repetition and overlength. Many critics and horror fans thought highly of this (it does have some creepy moments) so you may want to judge for yourself.
