Hereditary [Pt 1] | Don’t Lose Your Head
On this episode, the Clever Ghouls discuss Hereditary, the 2018 psychological supernatural horror film written and directed by Ari Aster. Hereditary explores the lives of Annie, Peter, Charlie, and Steve as they navigate some suspicious activity following the death of Annie’s mother, Ellen. Join us as we take a closer look at this film and talk about themes such as generational trauma, epigenetics, existential vulnerability, grief, and the representation of the divine feminine.
This film is rated R for horror violence, disturbing images, language, drug use, and brief graphic nudity. For more information we invite you to visit Hereditary’s listing on DoesTheDogDie.com.
