Hereditary (2018)- Themes of Ritual Invocation, the Manipulation of Life, and the Myth of Hercules.
The first time I finished Hereditary (2018.) I wrote down some thoughts titled Sometimes, We Can Only Face It.

Must Watch? Brief conclusion: Highly recommend it. While I highly recommend The Offering, I won’t conceal the fact that this horror film frightened me considerably. Perhaps I’ve encountered one too many mutant goat-headed monsters and eerie little girls. Additionally, the film’s brief 93-minute duration means some suspenseful moments are quickly resolved, and the lighting is somewhat…
