Hereditary was INTENSE to say the least... Blake deserves props for toughing it out! October may be over, but we have more scary movies planned. Stay tuned! And have a 🎃HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! 🎃
In an interview with Ari Aster, he said that Charlie was never Charlie. Paimon posessed Charlie when she was still in the womb. She was always Paimon. Hence why she never cried, even when she was born.
@@rumham7466 I think Paimon possesed other males from the family but they all had diffrent diseases, then Charlie was born but Grandma wanted her to be a boy ( then maybe the sick male host died after Peter was born so it possesed Charlie when she was born ), at the end Peter was possesed after he felt from the windows and maybe he died. And finally they say that they found healthy male host ( Peter )
One thing a lot of people miss and what I haven’t seen on most youtube breakdown of this movie. When Annie says. “That face on your face”. Its important to know. Paimon can do illusions. (basically Loki). So when Peter sees his reflection in the glass of his classroom. He sees a smirk on his face. This is what Annie was seeing the whole time, after charlie death and what cause the family to further self destruct
But Paimon wasn’t in him yet, right? I didn’t think Paimon entered until he jumped out of the window. He wasn’t Paimon yet, so how was he able to create an illusion through Peter?
@@solomoon3083 But paimon can still interact with the environment and was already doing so. The reason behind this. Is the shimmering light we see throughout the movie. That’s Paimon acting. We see that in the classroom just moments before Paimon acts on Peter and breaks his nose. Another example is when the paint falls over, on Joann notes. Drawing Annie's attention to it. Even tho Annie didn’t touch it. If you look in the background of that scene . You will see a shimmering of light from the window. Paimon again, gently nudging his plan forward. Another example, When Peter begins to have a panic attack. A shimmer of light from the bleachers hits him.
@@noirnoir4276 mmmm. Yes. I see now. Something I didn’t even think about. ;) I thought the shimmering light was just a compass of sorts. Like - go this way. Look at this. Come here. Hahaha. This makes sense to me now.
@@johnj4471 lol I was thinking the same thing. I never pegged him to be scared of stuff like this. And a face that attractive should never be covered up. lol
I think this is where a lot of people get it wrong. Hereditary is not so much a "scary" movie, but more of a deeply disturbing one. There is a difference. Something that disturbs your psychy on a deep level, is scarier than your typical Hollywood horror movie, with simple jump scares. Hereditary truly messes with your mind. I felt unsettle for a few days after seeing it in the theater.
I already deal with mental illness and I honestly landed in the hospital about a month after seeing this movie i couldn't sleep i could barely eat it was that disturbing for me i can't believe I'm about to watch a reaction to this again I hope these guys can handle it cause i sure didnt handle it well
@@Sissysuez It did bother me for about a week after I saw it. Apparently, when the movie first came out there were reports of some people that got up and left during the movie Just because it was too much. When I saw it at the theater I remember right after the final scene the audience literally just sat there staring at the screen for like a minute. No one got up, no one talked. It was just like a collective mutual disturbed feeling in the theater. I didn't even want to talk about the movie for like an hour after I saw it with a friend. I had never experienced an audience doing that. Having that reaction to a movie like this.
@Eric-yo4qk I so believe that thank you for taking the time to respond to my reply not many people take the time to be bothered well actually I don't make a lot of replies mostly comments your a real one dude thanks again ✌❣️💯
I can't believe the guy on the right's friend showed him the car scene to "hook him on the movie" lol, that's like hooking someone on Shutter Island by telling them the twist
The sound you hear at the beginning of the movie. When the camera is zooming into peters room. Is actually suppose to be hooves of a horse or camel. Signaling the kings return.
Among a number of things people miss about this movie is that Annie sleepwalking with the paint thinner and match is that she has always been subconsciously aware that something is wrong and she was trying to stop her mother's plan by killing her kids and herself. Her mother tried to put Paimon in Annie's father and in her brother and Joan was probably trying to do it to her grandson (I don't think that's her grandson during the seance, I think that's Paimon pretending to be the grandson and she knows that).
@@attitudeproblem6462 actually it's confirmed to be bs. In the scene where she "runs into" Annie you can see the chackboard she just bought in the back of her car, laater in her house she claims that it belonged to her grandson
Correct, the fact that when in the dream Peter screams "You were trying to kill me", her reply is "No I didn't, I was trying to save you" clearly shows how subconsciously she knew something was off
The way Toni Collette screams after Charlie’s body is found always gives me chills and makes me cry. Such an amazing actress. Ps Blake ur dogs are so cute lol
Nice one guys. But someone needs to make sure that Blake hears this. To help put him at ease. King Paimon is from medieval demonology. & is VERY accurately portrayed here. But there are a couple of mistakes that were done purely to add effect to the movie. 1. King Paimon is actually 1 of 9 Kings in Hell. Not 8. 2. Because of this the need to face northeast to summon him is also wrong. But helps add a bit of sense to the storytelling. 3. The decapitation thing has nothing to do with summoning him. It was only included due to the picture we see of him with the 3 heads on his belt. But doesn't it add that bit of extra horror & drama to the story. Other than those, spot on. Including the mom suddenly being able to float. He can bend, or even ignore, the laws of physics. & thus can make his followers rich by turning even wood into gold! I hope that helps you sleep a little more soundly Blake 😁 I hope everyone is having an amazing week & much love to all from here in the UK
When the trailer for this came out, Charlie was all over them. So when she bites the dust early in the movie, it added to all of the shock that the scene already instills. It's like what the heck! Is she not the main character???? So glad Annie was, though. Toni Colette killed this role. So so good.
Don't know what is the worst part of THE scene...when it happens, or when he just go to bed because of the shock of it...not knowing what to do... You don't see the reaction of the mother, but just hearing it and it's a billion time more effective ! It makes you mind go crazy wild !!! One of the top most shocking scene in all of cinema over the last 20 years. I never have my jaw dropped, it's one of the only movie it happened !
After watching breakdowns, there were some things I missed upon first watch due to my brightness and sound setting. 1. When the family arrives home from the grandmother's funeral, just before they enter their home, you can hear footsteps coming from upstairs. This was supposedly the cult members making the black triangle in the grandmother's room. 2. I missed the grandma and mother in the corners upon first watch. I loved the movie. It wasn't necessarily scary, but the music and acting made it creepy as hell. You don't need jump scares to make a great horror. I think I got so many chills/goosebumps through a lot of scenes: 1. Grandma in the corner 2. Mother crying for Charlie's death 3. Charlie in the corner 4. Mother being possed and speaking like her daughter 5. Seeing the symbol and picture of Peter on Joan's table 6. The mother going through her grandmother's photo album 7. The mother in the corner of the room 8. Head banging 9. Cult members hiding in the shadows 10. Sawing head with a piano wire Brilliant movie!!!
I LOVE this movie. I saw it in theaters, and I actually almost walked out when the mom found Charlie's body because it spiked my anxiety so hard that I thought I was going to have a panic attack. And that's coming from an obsessed saw fan. The way this movie handles horror is so special. They don't rely on jumpscares with the music or quick flashes of movement. They don't hold your hand and tell you when you should be scared. They just put horrific things on screen and as your brain slowly processes what its looking at, a cold dred seeps in on its own. A good example is the naked people in the shadows. There's no musical sting to draw attention to them. Theyre easy to miss and super disturbing when you do see them. It's perfect. So much respect for this film. When I got home from the theater I was literally shook. Because it was so unsettling. But while there was gore and stuff, a lot of the horror is relateable real life horror. The scenes of grief and arguing between the family members is so realistic. And it made me feel like I was part of the movie. Like I was with a family member who was grieving. Or I was being yelled at at the dinner table. It's just all so good.
Ikr but to be fair I think they knew it subliminally! They start suspecting that Joan isn’t really trustworthy basically when they see the chalk board then the ‘spell’ paper was given and they were like “yeah def not trustworthy”
Blake, Corey, Igli, and Matthew please watch these A24 films, "X", "Midsommar", "Pearl", "Talk to Me", "The Witch", and "Everything Everywhere All at Once".
If a sequel were to be done involving the storyline of the film, I think that it could work where a relative of the father's side of the family is investigating the events of the first film and ultimately has to make the decision to either kill Peter to stop Paimon or find a way to exercise Paimon without killing Peter. As an amateur horror screenwriter, I think that would be one logical storyline for a sequel. I'd watch it, at least.
As much as I’d love more content in this universe, I don’t see a sequel working. It would completely change the tone of the movie. It’d go from a horror tragedy and turn it into a more typical investigation/exorcism horror. What’s scary about this movie is that the dread and fear builds and you have no idea what the the threat is really is until the end. With Peter already possessed by Paimon, that takes away a lot of the slow burn horror.
No! Hereditary doesn't need a sequel , the movie should be untouched and be left alone . The sequel will never live up to the original. It'll just ruin it
I like to point out how Annie's first exhibit was called "Small World," like the phrase we say when there's been a coincidence. Later, Annie sees the doormat and says, "my mom used to make ones just like that," and Joan replies, "huh, how funny." Basically using that same "oh, what a coincidence!" phrasing to manipulate Annie further. Because nothing is a coincidence and everything has been planned out for them. Really small detail but there's so many to talk about in this film!
One thing I missed at first is what was in Joan’s trunk. She made up the story about her grandson and his chalkboard . She has a brand new chalkboard in her trunk which is what she used in that conjuring session
The symbol is from the Goetia, it's Paimon symbol. The noise that Charlie makes is a sign of Paimon's presence. If Im not mistaken, its the noise that his gallop makes or something like that. When you see his image, he is riding a horse.
I dislike it when people say this film is "the scariest ever." Obviously, what's scary is subjective but saying anything is the "greatest ever" sets it up of failure. Because instead of just enjoying the experience for what it is for you, you tend to watch it to see whether it lives up to the hype. With the result being "this wasnt the scariest film ever" instead "this was a well crafted film" or whatever.
Why does everyone who reacts to Hereditary, ALWAYS miss Annie up in the top left corner of peters bedroom as he sits upright out of bed 🤦🏻♂️ so frustrating 😂
When you described the futility of the battle in this movie, that’s why they made it feel like a doll house during some scenes, with the actors still looking like miniatures. Or transitioning into the diorama sets- it’s to show that the family is just playing an inevitable part, like dolls. Their fates are sealed since the intro and the grandmas death, and the struggle is futile
The sad fact is this movie will never be properly scary when viewed in this manner (i.e., in a group, with everyone making comments every few seconds.) The proper way to watch this in order to get the full effect is alone, in a dimly lit room, at night.
That’s how I first watched it! In my brand new apartment (environment I wasn’t used to), home alone, late at night, and in the dark. I’m a big horror fan so I typically do this but I’m not gonna lie after this movie, I did turn on my phones flashlight until I got to a light switch 😂😂 Not my usual but gotta love when you finish a movie properly scared. ❤
Charlie was Paimon since before she was born, which means she clicked her tongue because Paimon rides on horses and that’s the sound u make when u want a horse to go forward
The guy covering his face half the time was so silly and funny. And peeking through a crack in his fingers. 😂 And if you do choose to cover your face during a movie, please don't keep asking "what happened"?
7:44 SPOILERS BELOW ok So literally I’m watching this reaction and had several things click. Charles is Annie’s brother, and I wonder how much input Ellen had in naming Charlie. The first shot after the obit is the treehouse temple, and then it pans us into Peter’s room. He’s the sacrifice. Everything here is to get to him and Aster tells us that subliminally in the opening shot of the movie oh my god
Hereditary and Insterstellar so far are two of my most favorite movies so far. Tho 1st time I saw this film, I went to bed shortly after and dreamt of the final scene, when Peter was crowned, Charlie's head etc. Last thing I saw was Peter's face on close up. It was scary. Didn't stop me from watching this every now and then though. I loved everything about it.
Toni Collette's acting skills are completely unmatched (the mom). Everyone in this is great, but she's such an incredible actress that it's insane. I can think of a few dark movies like this that Blake would hate 😈😂
Midsommar is next that's one is traumatizing, disturbing and horror in daylight! Written and directed by Ari Aster, the writter and director of this film.
Yeah I think the ones that see it are watching on a laptop with a brighter screen. I saw a ton of stuff the first time I watched it that a lot of reviewers miss because I was on my computer
Toni Collette deserved to be in the haunting house series she would've crazed the mother role even further not saying that other actor didn't do good she did amazing but toni Collette would've absolutely nailed that role of the crazed mother what an amazing actor she is the way she grief and screams when Charlie dies seriously seemed soo real
I saw her. I just didn't want to say anything because a friend showed me that specific scene before. I was hoping one of the other guys would catch it -Corey
Haha the irony that Blake doesn't want to watch anymore scary/A24 movies but picked Midsommar as the exception 😅 It's another cult/Ari Aster movie and just as disturbing (but florence pugh is sooo good in it so plz watch).
Depending on how you look at it this movie had a happy ending. Queen Leigh was able to use her cult and her family to get a successful host and possession that she needed to meet her own ends. Even after death Leigh won. I mean, the dog's costume wins.
A few good horror recommendations: Midsommar, It Follows, Let Me In, Split, The Village, Signs, People Under the Stairs, Beloved, Anaconda, Lake Placid and Bats.
It's fun watching along with you guys. I've seen this previously and was a bit lost, so you've helped me understand it more. I can relate to Blake so much, made me smile. I saw Evil Dead (original) back in the early 80s - it scared me so much I spent most of the movie behind a cushion. My friends weren't much different. I think it took three goes before I saw the whole movie.
I really hope they watch The Boogeyman soon. No one is really reacting to it. I don’t even scare that easily, and it scared the living shit out of me. I actually had to take breaks. Hereditary is psychologically terrifying. The Boogeyman is on a whole other level of SCARY! Blake won’t sleep for a week. Asia and Bj Reacts channel- Asia does the same thing. Watching through fingers. It’s SO cute and funny.
Oh this one was intense but Toni Collette is amazing as always. I’ve only seen this once but will check it out with you guys a bit later. Happy Halloween 🎃
Paimon was always in Charlies body. The clicking is Paimon. That’s why it can be heard after Charlie’s death. It’s also why when the mom is first possessed after the ritual she sounds like Charlie and clicks and asks for “mom” Paimon hasn’t been in another body but Charlie and has to get used to it. Paimon is a male and always saw himself in a male vessel. He also envisions himself as a bird god that’s why Charlie cuts off the pigeons head and put a crown on it and why she draws the bird with the crown so much. Paimon also claims the heads of 3 women that’s why the g mas body turns up in the attic head less, Charlie get decapitated and the mom cuts her head off.
I had read that the green leaf matter that was in annies tea is some kind of symbol of their initiation, as the person who laid some with the grandmother in her casket as well.
Two different things. The green leaf is dittany of crete. Grandma's lips get annointed with some kind of oil, used to symbolize easing the passage of the soul out of the mouth.
10:03 I was just rewatching this reaction again and it just hit me that at that timestamp, Paimon is actually worried about what's gonna happen to him/his current body when Annie dies. He already knows that she's gona die. Annie thinks it's her young daughter's first brush with mortality and existentialism. She thinks it's her daughter struggling with how to deal with the grief associated with the passing of someone her daughter was close to (grandma), but in reality it's just a demon worried about himself. His current caretaker (grandma) is now dead and Annie will soon die as well. That's why she doesn't seem satisfied when Annie says Dad would take care of her. Paimon knows Dad's gonna be killed, since he's not fom the bloodline. That entire scene is crazy if you listen to Charlie's dialog from Paimon's perspective. 'She wanted me to be a boy' - Grandma wanted me (Paimon) to be put in a boy's body. BTW, how different would the movie/story have been had Charlie been born as a boy? Annie would still try to placate her mom by letting her be involved in Charles' life, but this time the grandma would be married to Paimon in a boy's body instead of how she's married to him in Charlie's body (that's why the cult members are showering her with gold - riches to the conjurer like the book mentions - and she's wearing a wedding dress at such an old age. That was grandma's wedding with Paimon. It's also why she's referred to as 'Queen Leigh'. She's married to King Paimon). No other killings would have been immediately necessary and it'd be about the tragedies that slowly befall a family due to Paimon's unseen influence in their life.
Lmao Blake just unlocked a childhood memory for me, monster house messed me up man that movie wasn’t supposed be for kids like even the subject matter surrounding the old man’s wife’s death was disturbing asf
Someone likely mentioned it already but the locations are from the Salt Lake area of Utah! Salt Lake is a beautiful area and as someone with family there it's always fun to see a familiar place, especially in horror movies!
Costume contest: 1. Bella obviously 2. Corey 3. Matt 4. Blake I guess even tho the Chiefs are trash 5. Igli defaults to last for having no costume. Could have at least tried.
When I saw this in theaters it was so damn creepy because half the audience saw the mom hiding in the corner when Peter woke up and started freaking out and people who didn’t see her in the corner were wondering wtf was going on
So this UA-camr Novum did an over 4 hour video basically explaining EVERY detail in Hereditary. I really recommend fans of the movie to check it out, watch it over a few sessions of course since it’s so long. There is also a follow-up video “Paimon is a Bird.” It’s all very fascinating and EXTREMELY well researched
I can't do demon shit. I love this movie but the first time I watched it, I watched it with my bf (who fell asleep half way though) in a dark cabin in the woods with his mom's homemade trolls made out of tree sticks hanging about. I couldn't sleep that whole night.
I forgot they had a dog. Might be the first time I’ve seen a dog in a movie just be a dog and not be killed. Although they sure do ignore the poor thing lol.
Hereditary was INTENSE to say the least...
Blake deserves props for toughing it out!
October may be over, but we have more scary movies planned. Stay tuned!
And have a 🎃HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! 🎃
Just realized I have the headband on upside-down 🙃 -Corey
@@RaggedyPacknot a film on my rewatch list for sure 😳😳🎃🎃🎃 to freaky

I only come to these horror watches to see Blake freak out.
I need to see you guys react to this horror movie: WHEN EVIL LURKS ❤

That explains a lot her behavior I mean who's child is able to cut off bird head? unless theres something wrong with those child

I love how he occasionally peaks to assess the situation then hides again 😂

I both love and hate how much of a scaredy cat he is watching horror movies. You’d never think that he’d be like that looking at him.

Yeah its more terror than horror. So disturbing 😣
Yeah, is like SAW or Human centipide. These movies aren't meant to be scary, they are meant to gross you out.
I felt bad for everyone. Me personally, I couldnt imagine the guilt the brother felt, the guilt the mom felt, and the loneliness of the father.
Blake's face during this movie was priceless 😂😅😂😅... Bro covered his face for most of the movie
I can't believe the guy on the right's friend showed him the car scene to "hook him on the movie" lol, that's like hooking someone on Shutter Island by telling them the twist
The sound you hear at the beginning of the movie. When the camera is zooming into peters room. Is actually suppose to be hooves of a horse or camel. Signaling the kings return.
1:05:13 and that was the piano wire being ripped from the piano for Annie to use to…
Among a number of things people miss about this movie is that Annie sleepwalking with the paint thinner and match is that she has always been subconsciously aware that something is wrong and she was trying to stop her mother's plan by killing her kids and herself. Her mother tried to put Paimon in Annie's father and in her brother and Joan was probably trying to do it to her grandson (I don't think that's her grandson during the seance, I think that's Paimon pretending to be the grandson and she knows that).
yup. even immediately after he was conceived she tried to stop the pregnancy. it’s implied because she felt something was off.
Yeah, I been long suspecting that story about her son and grandson being Bs. More than likely she was also attempting to sacrifice them to the cult.
@@attitudeproblem6462 actually it's confirmed to be bs. In the scene where she "runs into" Annie you can see the chackboard she just bought in the back of her car, laater in her house she claims that it belonged to her grandson
Or it was Paimon setting the seeds for her destruction and make it easier to isolate them
Correct, the fact that when in the dream Peter screams "You were trying to kill me", her reply is "No I didn't, I was trying to save you" clearly shows how subconsciously she knew something was off
Blake constantly putting his hands over his face is thr silliest but at the same time cutest thing ever. Stay pure!
The way Toni Collette screams after Charlie’s body is found always gives me chills and makes me cry. Such an amazing actress.
Ps Blake ur dogs are so cute lol
this movie should be the main subject on cinema classes on "how to make a great horror movie"
Notice how the little paint bottle falls down all by itself, onto the card with Joan's information
Paimon is so crafty
I’ve been a big fan of Toni’s way back when I saw her in the Sixth Sense.
I already know Blake is gonna hate this one lmao
Toni Collette does an amazing job with an American accent.
Nice one guys. But someone needs to make sure that Blake hears this. To help put him at ease.
King Paimon is from medieval demonology. & is VERY accurately portrayed here. But there are a couple of mistakes that were done purely to add effect to the movie.
1. King Paimon is actually 1 of 9 Kings in Hell. Not 8.

So glad Annie was, though. Toni Colette killed this role. So so good.
PLEASE do Midsommer next. It takes place in broad daylight for 99% of the movie, so how scary could it be, right?
My dude on the left was stressed! Great react 😂
The boy dressed 87 need a hug,he look so scared.
Don't know what is the worst part of THE scene...when it happens, or when he just go to bed because of the shock of it...not knowing what to do...

One of the top most shocking scene in all of cinema over the last 20 years. I never have my jaw dropped, it's one of the only movie it happened !
The worst part is absolutely when they do the hard cut to Charlie's decaying head.
while hearing Annie's ear piercing screams in the background. Amazing scene!

2. Mother crying for Charlie's death
3. Charlie in the corner
4. Mother being possed and speaking like her daughter
5. Seeing the symbol and picture of Peter on Joan's table
6. The mother going through her grandmother's photo album
7. The mother in the corner of the room
8. Head banging
9. Cult members hiding in the shadows
10. Sawing head with a piano wire

I think Blake could handle the 2nd movie of Ari Aster: Midsommar 😮
“What happened?”
“I think her head fell off!”
😂😂😂

The way this movie handles horror is so special. They don't rely on jumpscares with the music or quick flashes of movement. They don't hold your hand and tell you when you should be scared.

There's no musical sting to draw attention to them. Theyre easy to miss and super disturbing when you do see them. It's perfect. So much respect for this film.
When I got home from the theater I was literally shook. Because it was so unsettling. But while there was gore and stuff, a lot of the horror is relateable real life horror. The scenes of grief and arguing between the family members is so realistic. And it made me feel like I was part of the movie. Like I was with a family member who was grieving. Or I was being yelled at at the dinner table.
It's just all so good.
I was so excited when they saw the chalkboard in Joan's car, but they didn't realize she was lying about it belonging to her grandson 😔
Sorry we let you down 😔
Ikr but to be fair I think they knew it subliminally! They start suspecting that Joan isn’t really trustworthy basically when they see the chalk board then the ‘spell’ paper was given and they were like “yeah def not trustworthy”
Blake, Corey, Igli, and Matthew please watch these A24 films, "X", "Midsommar", "Pearl", "Talk to Me", "The Witch", and "Everything Everywhere All at Once".
Wouldn't recommend "X"
If a sequel were to be done involving the storyline of the film, I think that it could work where a relative of the father's side of the family is investigating the events of the first film and ultimately has to make the decision to either kill Peter to stop Paimon or find a way to exercise Paimon without killing Peter. As an amateur horror screenwriter, I think that would be one logical storyline for a sequel. I'd watch it, at least.
I love this concept, or perhaps another family could be a next target.
As much as I’d love more content in this universe, I don’t see a sequel working. It would completely change the tone of the movie. It’d go from a horror tragedy and turn it into a more typical investigation/exorcism horror. What’s scary about this movie is that the dread and fear builds and you have no idea what the the threat is really is until the end. With Peter already possessed by Paimon, that takes away a lot of the slow burn horror.
No! Hereditary doesn't need a sequel , the movie should be untouched and be left alone . The sequel will never live up to the original. It'll just ruin it
I like to point out how Annie's first exhibit was called "Small World," like the phrase we say when there's been a coincidence. Later, Annie sees the doormat and says, "my mom used to make ones just like that," and Joan replies, "huh, how funny." Basically using that same "oh, what a coincidence!" phrasing to manipulate Annie further. Because nothing is a coincidence and everything has been planned out for them. Really small detail but there's so many to talk about in this film!
One thing I missed at first is what was in Joan’s trunk. She made up the story about her grandson and his chalkboard . She has a brand new chalkboard in her trunk which is what she used in that conjuring session
Ash from Don't Trust Ash would have been proud by pointing out Symbolism, his favorite word 😅
The symbol is from the Goetia, it's Paimon symbol. The noise that Charlie makes is a sign of Paimon's presence. If Im not mistaken, its the noise that his gallop makes or something like that. When you see his image, he is riding a horse.
It's apparently the click used to direct a camel. Paimon is riding a camel, not a horse.
@@deludedreality89 yes, I think you right, thank u
Now that sound is really creepy
I dislike it when people say this film is "the scariest ever." Obviously, what's scary is subjective but saying anything is the "greatest ever" sets it up of failure. Because instead of just enjoying the experience for what it is for you, you tend to watch it to see whether it lives up to the hype. With the result being "this wasnt the scariest film ever" instead "this was a well crafted film" or whatever.
I wouldn't even consider this a "horror" movie. It feels more like a disturbing psychological drama.
"Looks like decapitation is a theme."
Check out the image of Paimon in the book again.
Why does everyone who reacts to Hereditary, ALWAYS miss Annie up in the top left corner of peters bedroom as he sits upright out of bed 🤦🏻♂️ so frustrating 😂
When you described the futility of the battle in this movie, that’s why they made it feel like a doll house during some scenes, with the actors still looking like miniatures. Or transitioning into the diorama sets- it’s to show that the family is just playing an inevitable part, like dolls. Their fates are sealed since the intro and the grandmas death, and the struggle is futile
The sad fact is this movie will never be properly scary when viewed in this manner (i.e., in a group, with everyone making comments every few seconds.) The proper way to watch this in order to get the full effect is alone, in a dimly lit room, at night.
Literallyyy
That’s how I first watched it! In my brand new apartment (environment I wasn’t used to), home alone, late at night, and in the dark. I’m a big horror fan so I typically do this but I’m not gonna lie after this movie, I did turn on my phones flashlight until I got to a light switch 😂😂 Not my usual but gotta love when you finish a movie properly scared. ❤
Right? I watch every horror movie alone the first time to get the full effect lol
Charlie was Paimon since before she was born, which means she clicked her tongue because Paimon rides on horses and that’s the sound u make when u want a horse to go forward
And I wanted to give that first guy (Blake?) a hug..I think we traumatized him 😂❤
The guy covering his face half the time was so silly and funny. And peeking through a crack in his fingers. 😂 And if you do choose to cover your face during a movie, please don't keep asking "what happened"?
For some reason “PIE-MON” is killing me rn
7:44 SPOILERS BELOW
ok
So literally I’m watching this reaction and had several things click.
Charles is Annie’s brother, and I wonder how much input Ellen had in naming Charlie.
The first shot after the obit is the treehouse temple, and then it pans us into Peter’s room.
He’s the sacrifice. Everything here is to get to him and Aster tells us that subliminally in the opening shot of the movie oh my god
Hereditary and Insterstellar so far are two of my most favorite movies so far. Tho 1st time I saw this film, I went to bed shortly after and dreamt of the final scene, when Peter was crowned, Charlie's head etc. Last thing I saw was Peter's face on close up. It was scary. Didn't stop me from watching this every now and then though. I loved everything about it.
This movie is a legit horror masterpiece.
The scariest thing about this movie is all the naked old people at the end lol
IKR??? 😂
A football player, a clown, a hedgehog, a ninja, and a Chikorita walk into a family implosion...
Why does Blake look so sad at the intro?? 😂🤣
The guy in blue with the dog gets my vote, because of the dog 💀.
Probably because we made him watch against his will -Corey
Toni Collette's acting skills are completely unmatched (the mom). Everyone in this is great, but she's such an incredible actress that it's insane. I can think of a few dark movies like this that Blake would hate 😈😂
1:05:33 his shadow moved with delay, first time I noticed it!!
-Blake missed most of the movie cowering in fear 😂😂
-Igli has the worst costume
Midsommar is next that's one is traumatizing, disturbing and horror in daylight! Written and directed by Ari Aster, the writter and director of this film.
So many people miss the shot with the mom in the corner lmao
It was a really dark corner where she was lol I can barely see her.
Yeah I think the ones that see it are watching on a laptop with a brighter screen. I saw a ton of stuff the first time I watched it that a lot of reviewers miss because I was on my computer
Toni Collette deserved to be in the haunting house series she would've crazed the mother role even further not saying that other actor didn't do good she did amazing but toni Collette would've absolutely nailed that role of the crazed mother what an amazing actor she is the way she grief and screams when Charlie dies seriously seemed soo real
This is nothing but a 21st century Rosemary's baby
1:04:05 how did all four of you not see mom up in the left hand corner of his room??
I saw her. I just didn't want to say anything because a friend showed me that specific scene before. I was hoping one of the other guys would catch it -Corey
@@RaggedyPackaw mannnn lol
Toni Collette deserved the Oscar for Best Actress for this movie.
Francis Ford Coppola's "Brahm Stoker's Dracula" should be next! 🦇🕸🕷
I was lucky enough to see it in theaters, and yes! it was a wild ride!
Haha the irony that Blake doesn't want to watch anymore scary/A24 movies but picked Midsommar as the exception 😅 It's another cult/Ari Aster movie and just as disturbing (but florence pugh is sooo good in it so plz watch).
Depending on how you look at it this movie had a happy ending. Queen Leigh was able to use her cult and her family to get a successful host and possession that she needed to meet her own ends. Even after death Leigh won.
I mean, the dog's costume wins.
It’s certainly a happy ending for the cult!
Round of applause for Blake for making it through. Bella wins for sure in the costume contest. Also the costumes are a delight ❤🖤 you guys are great 🤭
A few good horror recommendations: Midsommar, It Follows, Let Me In, Split, The Village, Signs, People Under the Stairs, Beloved, Anaconda, Lake Placid and Bats.
The guy on the far left is hilarious I love him 🤣Anyways love this movie and your reactions!
It's fun watching along with you guys. I've seen this previously and was a bit lost, so you've helped me understand it more. I can relate to Blake so much, made me smile. I saw Evil Dead (original) back in the early 80s - it scared me so much I spent most of the movie behind a cushion. My friends weren't much different. I think it took three goes before I saw the whole movie.
I know this is so random but I wanna see these guys react to the movie "Friday" with Ice-Cube and Chris Tucker.
I really hope they watch The Boogeyman soon. No one is really reacting to it. I don’t even scare that easily, and it scared the living shit out of me. I actually had to take breaks. Hereditary is psychologically terrifying. The Boogeyman is on a whole other level of SCARY! Blake won’t sleep for a week. Asia and Bj Reacts channel- Asia does the same thing. Watching through fingers. It’s SO cute and funny.
Bodies bodies bodies was released by A24. It’s more of a comedy slasher, so Blake could 100% handle it, and the ending alone makes it worth the watch.
Toni Collette should have won ALL the awards for this role. It must have been so damn hard to play.
Blake is so cuteeee haha
The best A24 film is Killing of a Sacred Deer. Amazing.
You are correct, that was truly disturbing, with great performances.
Oh this one was intense but Toni Collette is amazing as always. I’ve only seen this once but will check it out with you guys a bit later. Happy Halloween 🎃
Happy Halloween! 👻
Paimon was always in Charlies body. The clicking is Paimon. That’s why it can be heard after Charlie’s death. It’s also why when the mom is first possessed after the ritual she sounds like Charlie and clicks and asks for “mom” Paimon hasn’t been in another body but Charlie and has to get used to it. Paimon is a male and always saw himself in a male vessel. He also envisions himself as a bird god that’s why Charlie cuts off the pigeons head and put a crown on it and why she draws the bird with the crown so much. Paimon also claims the heads of 3 women that’s why the g mas body turns up in the attic head less, Charlie get decapitated and the mom cuts her head off.
I had read that the green leaf matter that was in annies tea is some kind of symbol of their initiation, as the person who laid some with the grandmother in her casket as well.
Two different things. The green leaf is dittany of crete. Grandma's lips get annointed with some kind of oil, used to symbolize easing the passage of the soul out of the mouth.
Toni Collette is great actress
I subscribed to you guys yesterday. I absolutely love this channel. I definitely recommend watching Talk To Me. 🥺🌸
This was a good reaction.
Just don’t watch their “Exorcist” reaction.
WOOF!!
@@frankaragon1228ohh did they not like it? I can see them not “getting it” because it’s older
10:03 I was just rewatching this reaction again and it just hit me that at that timestamp, Paimon is actually worried about what's gonna happen to him/his current body when Annie dies. He already knows that she's gona die. Annie thinks it's her young daughter's first brush with mortality and existentialism. She thinks it's her daughter struggling with how to deal with the grief associated with the passing of someone her daughter was close to (grandma), but in reality it's just a demon worried about himself. His current caretaker (grandma) is now dead and Annie will soon die as well. That's why she doesn't seem satisfied when Annie says Dad would take care of her. Paimon knows Dad's gonna be killed, since he's not fom the bloodline.
That entire scene is crazy if you listen to Charlie's dialog from Paimon's perspective. 'She wanted me to be a boy' - Grandma wanted me (Paimon) to be put in a boy's body.
BTW, how different would the movie/story have been had Charlie been born as a boy? Annie would still try to placate her mom by letting her be involved in Charles' life, but this time the grandma would be married to Paimon in a boy's body instead of how she's married to him in Charlie's body (that's why the cult members are showering her with gold - riches to the conjurer like the book mentions - and she's wearing a wedding dress at such an old age. That was grandma's wedding with Paimon. It's also why she's referred to as 'Queen Leigh'. She's married to King Paimon). No other killings would have been immediately necessary and it'd be about the tragedies that slowly befall a family due to Paimon's unseen influence in their life.
This was an intense and interesting read. Brought back feelings from the movie and now I'm kinda scared again -Corey
@@RaggedyPack Yeah, this movie lingers in your mind in a disturbing way.
How did you manage to get Mads friggin' Mikkelsen into this?
Let's hope the "Conjuring 2" will be next on your list!....✌️❤️❤️
Please watch Midsommar? Especially the guy on the left! 🤣
The sonic guy needs the cops called on him
22:54 the collective "ohhhhhh" made me chuckle a lil bit
21:58 "I think her head fell off" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude on the left was me first watching this
y’all asking blake if he’s seen it as if he wasn’t scared to watch scream 😭 this is 1000x worse
Lmao Blake just unlocked a childhood memory for me, monster house messed me up man that movie wasn’t supposed be for kids like even the subject matter surrounding the old man’s wife’s death was disturbing asf
Someone likely mentioned it already but the locations are from the Salt Lake area of Utah! Salt Lake is a beautiful area and as someone with family there it's always fun to see a familiar place, especially in horror movies!
Interesting how Annie’s nightmare is an infestation linking her to Peter and consuming him (all the ants on his face) love this movie!
blake at the end of the movie looks like a best friend just told him he's really into feet, like really, really, into feet.
Costume contest:
1. Bella obviously
2. Corey
3. Matt
4. Blake I guess even tho the Chiefs are trash
5. Igli defaults to last for having no costume. Could have at least tried.
True igli is a loser
Corey looks like a very good looking Vlad Tepes aka Vlad the Impaler (Dracula)
Try watching Talk To Me, The Witch, or Midsommar or The Lighthouse this time.
The hedgehog hat sent me to the lord 🤣🔥
When I saw this in theaters it was so damn creepy because half the audience saw the mom hiding in the corner when Peter woke up and started freaking out and people who didn’t see her in the corner were wondering wtf was going on
So this UA-camr Novum did an over 4 hour video basically explaining EVERY detail in Hereditary. I really recommend fans of the movie to check it out, watch it over a few sessions of course since it’s so long. There is also a follow-up video “Paimon is a Bird.” It’s all very fascinating and EXTREMELY well researched
What are U doing here Blake 😂 defo looking forward to watching this 😂
Someone needs to tape home boys hands to his chair😂
I can't do demon shit. I love this movie but the first time I watched it, I watched it with my bf (who fell asleep half way though) in a dark cabin in the woods with his mom's homemade trolls made out of tree sticks hanging about. I couldn't sleep that whole night.
I forgot they had a dog. Might be the first time I’ve seen a dog in a movie just be a dog and not be killed. Although they sure do ignore the poor thing lol.
