Collette’s sentiments about Hereditary speak volumes, considering she starred in “The Sixth Sense,” one of the most critically acclaimed horror films to be released in the past 20 years. The trailer for “Hereditary” makes the case that it is more than jump-scares and mindless macabre, but instead, a thought-provoking and prestigious genre film. “Get Out,” the most recent example of horror films done right, shocked critics last year at Sundance won an Oscar a year later for Best Original Screenplay. Could “Hereditary” follow suit?

“Hereditary” marks the feature film debut of writer and director Ari Aster, and it co-stars Gabriel Byrne, Alex Wolff, Milly Shapiro, and Ann Dowd.

Moviegoers will have to wait until til summer to watch the film, but hopefully, that will give audiences enough time to mentally prepare for the terrifying experience.

Read the official synopsis for “Hereditary” below.

When Ellen, the matriarch of the Graham family, passes away, her daughter’s family begins to unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their ancestry. The more they discover, the more they find themselves trying to outrun the sinister fate they seem to have inherited. Making his feature debut, writer-director Ari Aster unleashes a nightmare vision of a domestic breakdown that exhibits the craft and precision of a nascent auteur, transforming a familial tragedy into something ominous and deeply disquieting, and pushing the horror movie into chilling new terrain with its shattering portrait of heritage gone to hell.

“Hereditary” opens June 8th in wide release via A24. Watch the trailer (which we’re quoted in) and then once you have the context, visit Charlie’s Etsy page.
