Is Hereditary (2018) still one of the greatest horror movies ever made, or has time changed the way we look at Ari Aster’s terrifying debut? In this episode of Nostalgia Check, we revisit the psychological horror phenomenon starring Toni Collette, Alex Wolff, Milly Shapiro, and Gabriel Byrne to see if it still deserves its legendary reputation.
From its unforgettable opening act and shocking twists to its disturbing family drama, hidden details, symbolism, and chilling ending, we break down everything that makes Hereditary one of the most talked about horror films of the modern era. Does the slow burn storytelling still work? Is Toni Collette’s performance one of the greatest in horror history? Does it excel better as a one time watch, or do rewatched help? And does the ending still leave audiences speechless?
Join us as we discuss the plot, themes, cinematography, directing, performances, scares, hidden clues, and whether Hereditary still passes the ultimate Nostalgia Check.
