A24's worst and most traumatic film, "Hereditary: The Inheritance," is now in theaters. This, of course, is a compliment.

Yes, it's scary - the look on your face.

Upon its release at this year's Sundance Film Festival, the horror film , which received the highest praise from critics as "a masterpiece that defies the conventions of horror" and "the pinnacle of modern horror," is the first film to be released in the United States.Hereditary / Inheritance. will open in TOHO Cinemas Hibiya and other theaters nationwide on Friday, November 30.

"This family story will traumatize you forever . Even if you look away, you will never forget it again."

Directed and written by Ari Aster, this is his feature film directorial debut. . America is a country that has produced one great filmmaker after another. The genius of his conception and direction, the calculated script in which every scene foreshadows the terror of the final scene, and the extraordinary degree of perfection are said to have made this film a new achievement in horror films. The director Ari Aster's ability to imbue every inch of the screen with a taut tension is such that this film alone has earned him comparisons with Stanley Kubrick, who directed "The Shining".

Starring Toni Collette of "The Sixth Sense" and "Little Miss Sunshine" fame. As shown in the photo at the top, the uncanny and monstrous performance she gives in the film has already assured her of an Oscar nomination for Best Actress next year.

The studio produced "Moonlight," which won the Academy Award for Best Picture last year, and "Lady Bird" swept the awards race this year as well. In its sixth year of operation, A24 has released a string of high-profile films and has become a regular Oscar winner.


~STORY~.
The Grahams' grandmother, Ellen, has died. Daughter Annie, along with her husband Steven, son Peter, who is in high school, and daughter Charlie, who is not good with people, try to overcome the grief of the loss of their family member. They are unaware that they have inherited something terrible from Ellen. Soon after, strange events began to occur frequently in the Graham household. Strange lights running through the rooms, the sound of someone talking, the presence of someone in the dark... . Charlie, who was doted upon by his grandmother, stares into the void with an eerie expression on his face, as if he senses "something" she left behind. Then the worst thing happens, and the family falls apart beyond repair. The family is then struck with unimaginable horror. "If you inherit it, you die. What is the grandmother's legacy to her family?

Although he never revealed the details, the director also had a very bad experience when he "inherited" a certain thing.

I can't give any spoilers, of course, but I can say that the film takes the viewer beyond the "worst of what the audience can imagine. But I hope you will take this as the highest praise for this film. There are a lot of good movies coming out this weekend, but this one is really not to be missed. . it is a horror film, though, so take it with an open mind.
