The overall feeling is very general

This is the first movie that I couldn't resist writing a review after watching it. For an hour and a half of the movie, I waited for 80 minutes for the climax, it was dark from beginning to end, and I couldn't see anything clearly. I always thought that there would be a gap between expectations, and I kept grinding and chirping, not knowing what I was doing, as if I was creating an atmosphere of terror? But it keeps draining the viewer's patience. Finally, I waited until the last half hour, thinking that the secret was going to be revealed, and then the camera was like a flash, and it disappeared without seeing anything. Although the people next to him are always startled, he can feel that he can't watch it many times. The overall viewing experience is extremely poor, and the overall feeling is that there is nothing dry, which is seriously inconsistent with the trailer. Choose carefully, don't expect.

    Rubbish, so mystifying. It is indeed the safest.

    Very evil, goosebumps fall off the ground, and I can really feel how a family is gradually driven to despair and collapse under the dual pressure of tragedy and spiritual power. The sense of fear conveyed by the film is actually very effective. The key depends on whether the audience can devote themselves to this audio-visual atmosphere and the emotions of the characters, which is much smarter than simple shock. The director's "maliciousness" towards family relations, from the ethical breakdown of the previous short film, has become a fatal blood curse in this film. To some extent, "Family" will always be a horror movie to me.

Hereditary quotes

  • Charlie: Who's gonna take care of me?

    Annie: Uh, excuse me? You don't think I'm gonna take care of you?

    Charlie: But when you die?

  • Peter: You okay, Mom?

    Annie: What?

    Peter: Is there something on your mind?

    Annie: Is there something on *your* mind?

    Peter: Just seems like there... might be something you... wanna say.

    Steve: Peter.

    Annie: Like what? I mean, why would I wanna say something so I can watch you sneer at me?

    Peter: Sneer at you? I don't ever sneer at you.

    Annie: Oh, sweetie, you don't have to. You get your point across.

    Peter: Okay, so, fine, then say what you wanna say, then.

    Steve: Peter.

    Annie: I don't wanna say anything. I've tried saying...

    Peter: Okay, so try again. Release yourself.

    Annie: Oh, release you, you mean?

    Peter: Yeah, fine, release me, just say it! Just fucking say it!

    Annie: DON'T you swear at me, you little shit! Don't you EVER raise your voice at me! I am your mother! You understand? All I do is worry and slave and defend you, and all I get back is that fucking face on your face! So full of disdain and resentment and always so annoyed! Well, now your sister is dead! And I know you miss her and I know it was an accident and I know you're in pain and I wish could take that away for you. I WISH I could shield you from the knowledge that you did what you did, but you're sister is dead! She's gone forever! And what a waste... if it could've maybe brought us together, or something, if you could've just said "I'm sorry" or faced up to what happened, maybe then we could do something with this, but you can't take responsibility for anything! So, now I can't accept. And I can't forgive. Because... because NOBODY admits anything they've done!
