@@d3genr3gen26 Charlie’s death is the only time I’ve had to look away from a screen from what I was seeing I can’t watch that without thinking of my little sister :(((
@@d3genr3gen26 nothin to worry about bro, some things just don’t affect people the same. If you want to speak with someone else maybe try a therapist instead of psychiatrist.
The script called for him to be looking around the classroom with his hand up with eyes that are "pleading to everyone around him for help, but unable to say anything". Dude this director is fucked in the head.
That is easily the scariest part of the movie for me. Alex Wolfe in that scene just seems so genuinely scared with his screams, it sends chills up my spine just thinking about it.
My jaw literally dropped at Charlie's decapitation. It was so sudden, and honestly oddly realistic. Death itself, especially freak accidents, don't have a build up, it just happens, and Peter's reaction was so raw
And he didn't mention how after it happens the camera just focuses on the guy's eyes as he refuses to look in the rear view mirror for what feels like minutes, really making you replay the event in your mind
When Peter starts calling Annie “mommy” at the very end, that is definitely the smallest detail that affected me as much as it did. Ever since the sleepwalking incident, he hasn’t trusted his mother and felt like she doesn’t care about him. And after the horrific events of the movie, and them being angry at each other, all he wants is for Annie to just care about and love him. So when everything goes wrong, and Annie is possessed and chasing him, he calls her “mommy” because he thinks that the last time she loved him was when he was young enough to call her that. That shits just devastating to me.
@@Gobbostopper Yeah that's what I thought too. That is had more to do with him regressing. I went through something really bad and during it when I was crying I was asking for my "mommy" even though I was 30 years old.
God the scene after Peter comes home with a decapitated Charlie in the back , and the next morning the mom is talking to the dad about going to the store and it just builds up the intense moment as she is getting ready to leave to only find out her daughter is in the back seat dead and headless . That scene haunted me along with the mom crying for days and days with a real hurt in the heart. That scene played in my head for DAYS .
3:16 “I’ve always wanted to be in a horror movie.” I honestly find it heartwarming that she not only got her wish, but also that the movie she played in ended up being a hit.
The fact that Alex had to go to therapy after filming this... Everyone talks about Toni's performance but Alex was so incredible. His acting made the movie. I feel so sad that he struggled afterward but I'm not shocked at all since he reaalllyyy had to go there to perform like that
Honestly, as someone who went to acting school, Alex shouldn’t have gone as far as he did. Yes it was a good performance but he could have gotten just as good of an outcome while also looking after himself. Method acting all the time ends up really harming actors, and sometimes even leads them to having severe issues later on. I hope for My Friend Dahmer he had a different experience because he was fantastic in that film as well.
The mom banging her head on the ceiling was definitely one of the most disturbing and terrifying moments for me. The head is something that people always protect so seeing someone intentionally banging their head super fast on the ceiling was genuinely one of the most terrifying moments besides Charlie’s obviously.
Yup it sounds like someone angrily banging their fist then the camera pans down and shows its her head. Really disturbing but also great film making.. spooky
i’m sure you already know this but the position that she’s in during that scene is the same bowing position her and all those people are in at the end in the treehouse :) one of my favorite foreshadowing moments in this entire movie
The scene where the mom was possessed and hitting her head on the attic door repeatedly while Peter was screaming to her and calling her “mommy” still haunts me ever since I’ve watched the film
I feel the worst for Steve. Everyone is a victim in this, but he’s just a dad struggling to keep his family together, completely ignorant of the evil attacking his family.
Funny story. First time I went to see Hereditary, the screen projector broke... And all you could hear was Charlies clicks. Pitch black theater and just "CLICK". Lotta the audience tried to laugh it off, but we were terrified as hell. We ended up getting a refund. Second time, I went with a friend and we were alone in the theater, goofing off and suddenly Charlie died. We both go dead silent and instantly feel awful for being dumb.
My bf and I were watching the movie at home, and we like to goof around and point out stuff about the movie as we watch. But as soon as Charlie's head hit that pole, both of us went absolutely silent, jaws dropped, and stayed that way for the next 10 minutes or so. It's probably one of my favorite movies (def favorite horror movie lol)
I mean, there’s so much garbage funneled into it that people don’t really give it the time of day The Bye-Bye Man, Unfriended, Smiley, Truth or Dare. All of those suck.
That scream that the mom did when she discovered Charlie’s corpse... that scared me the most. The pure emotion of grief and agony... I had to turn the movie off. I think it even gave me a fear of screams like that, which is something I didn’t have before. So yeah- kudos to that actress.
I've actually heard someone react to their child's death IRL, and the acting in that scene was indistinguishable from how she reacted. That freaked me out
I haven't seen the film (horror film pussy), and I was watching this vid, and had to pause when I heard it. I don't know why, but Collette's wail just then was so unbelievably evocative of the most agonising grief possible. Freaked me out a bit.
6:33 I've never had any allergies, but as a person who was hospitalized on 7 separate occasions before middle school because I kept developing pneumonia from my asthma, I wanna take a second to recognize how absolutely honestly the nervous little "it's hard to breathe" from Charlie is delivered. The little sway, the timid voice, the way she seems to lack perspective on how her health weighs against the anxiety of causing a disruption. Perfect.
The mother's raw scream on the floor after Charlie's death was quite extraordinary. It was so emotional it almost felt wrong to watch it. It was far too private for my eyes to see.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are interested in a specific type of movie, and that is *not* movies that normal people go to see. These are people who can eat caviar like we eat *peanut butter.*
Watch the show "United States of Tara." Toni Colette plays a woman with 5 or 6 distinct personalities, and she has a different face for each one. When something happens to trigger her D.I.D., you can tell which alter is taking over just by the way Ms. Colette looks at the camera.
Everyone always talks about Charlie not being more careful when eating the chocolate cake that may or may not have nuts in it. The cake didn’t have nuts though. In an earlier scene before Charlie is having reactions, you can see a group of people cutting nuts with a knife. They use the same knife to cut the cake. Cross contaminating.
Also there is a theory that everything in the film is being influenced by the cult and paranormal forces. The lightpost that charlies head is decapitated on has the cult logo on it.
Doesn't mean that the cake couldn't still have had nuts in it, tho. Either way, it wouldn't have been her fault, seeing as she was 13 and didn't need to be there in the first place.
I don’t think he was having just a mental breakdown, he was in shock and did the only thing his brain had enough willpower to do: Go Home. Unfortunately, it happens a lot in scenarios where extremely traumatic things happen
@@zer0751 there’s a lot of cases of it, but that’s maybe because not many documents clarify when victims don’t go into shock or have a mental breakdown and only document the ones that do
@@zer0751 oh god no, having a mental breakdown is a coping mechanism. All it shows is how people deal with traumatic experiences, actually from personal experience, bottling up trauma and emotions is one of the worst things to do as it can cause you to have a mental breakdown later on in years or months to come
When Peter just DIVES straight out the window zero hesitation I was like that’s the most realistic reaction I’ve even seen in a horror movie just G T F OOOOO!
Literally! In so many horror movies the protagonist simply stands there in shock, or even stops running or fleeing. Having a protagonist actually attempt to survive was a real breath of fresh air in the horror genre
@@Batkhuyag1300 His mum made him take her, and she was 13. If my 5 year old students know to ask what's in food before eating it and are responsible enough to carry their own epipen, then a girl nearly thrice their age definitely should be able to do it.
as someone with a younger sister who has food allergies, the scene where charlie has a allergic reaction (and subsequently gets decapitated) is genuinely horrifiying to me
The scene where Charlie died had me in absolute shock. And I LOVE how Alex Wolf acts after he realizes what just happened. He was too scared to even look in the mirror or ask if she was okay. Absolutely phenomenal.
Especially him going straight to bed. As if he will wake up and it never happened. As if that is the only escape available. Searching for any moment of piece. But a lingering fear that tomorrow it will be there waiting for you when you wake up.
@@graystark240 exactly. He acts how a teenager his age would act if that happened to them. Too scared to check and too scared to tell their parents, all they can do is just lie in bed and wait
alex wolff’s performance hit me the hardest. i don’t think anyone could’ve pulled off visually the levels of grief and guilt that would come with killing your own sister the way he did
can i just say the part when peter is hiding in the attic while annie/paimon is banging her head on the door, and he’s like “mommy please stop”...that always gets to me :(((
I felt so horrible for Peter all through this movie. Like I was disappointed how he was negligible with Charlie and let her eat something with nuts while he was getting high... But I guess you can't really expect too much of teenagers. But just the pure emotion he conveyed. Sitting in the car after the decapitation and after his mother screams at him at the dinner table notably. Also, the scene where his mother says she never wanted to be his mother, omg his faces were incredible :( (I know that scene was a "dream" though)
I love how the trailer for "Hereditary" managed to convey the film's creepy tone while being intentionally misleading to avoid spoilers. As I watched Charlie's funeral scene, it occurred to me that I had seen that moment in the advertising, but I had assumed it was part of the grandmother's funeral. Only in hindsight did I realize 1) Annie's devastated sobbing made more sense in response to Charlie's death than to Ellen's, and 2) Charlie was nowhere to be seen among the attendees. The twist was pure brilliance!
Yeah, whoever did the trailer deserves a LOT of credit. It's more common to spoil some of the good parts. They made the movie look interesting without ruining what the movie was about.
THIS is how marketing should be done. I'm sick of trailers basically showing the best parts of the movie, especially the jumpscares, dampens the whole experience
@@johnkittz how about letting people say and comment whatever they want without calling it cringe ? It's the internet, nobody asked you. let people enjoy things
@@Maria-hw1uq Because he's an edgelord, and he can't feel happiness without bringing others down. Some people don't know how to live without perpetual finger wagging.
Seeing the Graham family fall apart over grief, anger, frustration, and fear is just so devastating to me. They try their hardest to find a way to cope but instead a cult just manages to get a demon to possess the son.
When I saw Hereditary in theatres, I can distinctly remember a gradual wave of gasps when people started to notice Annie on the wall. I wholeheartedly believe it is the standout shot of the film.
I thought the first time they used that tactic with Ellen in the dark room towards the beginning was scarier. It was so easy to miss, I got full body goosebumps like I’ve never experienced in a movie. I kinda felt when they used that again with Annie at the end, it was more expected and might’ve hung on a little too long. Still created wicked tension.
i showed this movie to my dad's girlfriend and she didn't notice annie at all at first 😂😂 i was like "did you see the mom in the corner?" and she was like "WHAT rewind it!!"
This movie made me cry like a child. Annie's cry over Charlie rock me to my core. Took me a while to recover. I couldn't stop thinking of my own son. Easily the best horror film in a long time. Didn't know if she was truly losing her mind due to a combination of mental illness and grief.
@KitchensAreHot Annie’s brother killed himself, likely because Mom tried to put Paimon inside of him first, hence the note. He probably did it to prevent the possession.
Hereditary was spoiled for me, and it STILL made me feel absolute dread when watching Charlie's death. The mom's scream when finding Charlie is just so gut-wrenching and unforgettable. I admit, I haven't been able to sit through the whole thing because it makes my stomach turn, not from gore, but from how dreadfully sad it is. No other film has that effect on me. Absolutely amazing storytelling
I started watching it earlier, but had to turn it off after Charlie. I have a very strong stomach, I usually love blood and gore, but seeing her head was far too much for me to handle.
That death was spoiled for me too when I saw the clip on Twitter. But it was because of that clip that I decided to watch the movie because I thought that was such a crazy scene and got intrigued. It still hit pretty hard when I saw it in context
@@quintoofidiots5331 Yeah same. I loved Midsommar so figured Hereditary wouldn’t be a bad choice for another horror movie. I got to about Charlie’s death and went “Welp! This isn’t the movie for me :)”
I am really mad at myself now for thinking "eh I can deal with spoilers" because that first kill gave me about the same reaction. actually had to take a break from the video just to process it, it was a real gut punch.
The behind the scenes stuff about That Scene genuinely helped me feel better about something that left me depressed for weeks after first seeing it. Genuinely thank you James.
11:25 You can see a chalk board in Joan's backseat after she just went shopping, showing that it was new and had no connection to her "grandson" as she later claims.

@@konstance13 I have been reading a lot about the movie and this is the first time I see someone pointing that out XD I also love finding little details with every rewatch/discussion lol

@@tommyblade8093 deadass same i haven’t seen the actual movie and this shit fucked me up especially since i clicked on this video like it was going to be a movie like get out or the one worth the double families
you should really go watch this movie on your own. it makes for an amazing viewing experience. i was lucky enough to not have this movie spoiled beforehand and watching the kill count made this movie so much better
I remember seeing the part where Charlie's head comes off in the car and my heart had never sunk further in my life, it legitimately horrified me, as did the rest of the movie, and while it's not my favorite horror movie it is definitely one of, if not the scariest one I've seen
My uncle almost died that way as a kid. He was hanging his head out the window of my grandpa's car and a tire blew, sending grandpa swerving onto the shoulder and hitting the support structure of an overhanging road sign. My other uncle grabbed the first uncle and pulled him inside the window before the car swerved into the ditch. He still hit the support pole with part of his head, but he only got a minor concussion and a penny sized wound where bone was visible
Charlie’s death shocked me and my dad while watching. I’m so glad I didn’t have that spoiled for me before seeing it the first time. It definitely wouldn’t of hit the same. The silence was so… silent afterwards
@@abidubsprodection485 it's not that scary tbh it has good jumpscares and builds the tension beautifully. OP said it's SCARRING, and it really is. You might think about this movie now and then, that's for sure.
Dude, your jokes have helped me cope with the trauma that this film has burned into my retinas. I haven’t been able to sleep for a couple days after a double feature of Hereditary and Midsommar. The Paimon word play had me actually laughing out loud 😂
I'm a big horror movie person and I'm not easily scared, but this film REALLY got me....I was fine when we left the theatre and then somebody made the 'cluck' noise and I cried for 20 minutes straight
Am I the only one that didn’t get scared or even a bit amount of increase heart rate when watching this movie? Idk I just felt unbothered by the whole thing
I first watched this Kill Count and reacted minimially to this, but upon rewatching it tonight, the headbutting the attic door was just terrifying. Like, it straight up looked like something else was in control.
My girl always fell asleep when we’d watch movies. So the night we sat down for hereditary I was all on my own in the second half. Sht was spooky as hell.
I’m actually impressed by how accurate King Paimon’s powers are portrayed in the movie. He prefers to inhabit the body of men, inflicts severe torment on his victims which includes recreating traumatic events, and creates horrifying visions and nightmares. Ari Aster definitely did some research on the Ars Goetia before making this movie.
@robotictophat8331 you're acting like it isn't practiced till this day of age still.....nice move with the use of "mythology" doesn't change anything unfortunately for you. That strategy bugs off the fools so easily. Probably worked on everyone you knew growing up.
I love the reoccurring symbol that was on grandma's necklace and etched on the pole on the highway. It is the real life symbol of Paimon the king, not just something they made up for the movie, and anyone who happened to know about Demonology might recognize it and immediately know that the grandmother was a demon worshipper. It's a cool detail.
For me, personally, the scariest scenes are the ones with Peter. The scene where Charlie dies and the last scene. It was...unsettling. Just the emotional weight of those scenes. How Peter couldn't even look at her. The guilt, just brilliant. And the last scene was the only one that might haunt me.
I love this new genre of horror, I'm tired of all the cheesy pop ups and cringe CGI kills. This is truly heart wrenching and leaves you anxious afterwards. The acting and set ups in this movie are perfect and it's impossible to hate on a film like this.
Right? There's a level of psychological horror to it and I'm here for it! Horror movies, for a good amount of time, have all left me feeling like "Well... Why didn't they just-" and try to apply logic to it. I cannot stand movies where I'm left off with a similar thought of "Why tf did that chick/dude open the door in the middle of nowhere WELL aware that NO ONE is coming for them until x pm?" This movie, while logic can be applied to it, doesn't really make me feel like I'm watching some dumb paranormal movie:) This had me feeling anxious and I haven't felt like this for a horror movie in a long time! XD
The scariest part of the film for me was Annie's mum standing in the corner of her room. At first it's just a good old spooky appearance, but as the story evolves that mental image of her just becomes so much more terrifying. It's like if you sat at a park bench and had a chat with a stranger, only to find out later they were a serial killer...
I was 17 when I watched it in 2020,and boy I was hella scared to the point where walking alone made me uncomfortable it was really scary I didn't sleep much and latterly told my brother if I could sleep with him
I wonder if this means we might see a kill count for Midsommar soon, since it's the same director with similar themes. Either way, I'm glad to see Hereditary still getting love 2 years later!
every time i watch it i just feel so awful for the dad especially. imagine how trapped he feels?? he’s stuck in the middle of his family having breakdowns and slowly becoming insane. i would feel so fucking hopeless
I really am surprised that more people haven’t mentioned him, his character made me sad and it’s tragic to think about everything going on around him along with his death. To me his character seemed to portray a more silent grief, and watching the scene where he’s taking Peter home where he begins to cry in the car made me feel awful :( all the actors in this movie did a wonderful job imo
@@woah0449 yeah i agree. it’s vv scary seeing everyone you love mentally break down and even die when there’s nothing you can do. the scene where he cried really got me. but yeah, all the actors did a nice job :-)
Toni Collette had told her agent that she didn't want to do any more heavy, dark films and only wanted to do comedies, but she loved the Hereditary script so much she couldn't turn it down. Both Alex Wolff and Milly Shapiro attended Professional Children's School, and already knew each other before the film. Alex Wolff said that Gabriel Byrne is one of his favorite people he's ever gotten to work with. Toni Collette and Alex Wolff share a birthday (November 1).
Fun detail that Charlie was buried in a light blue casket while light Blue is the colour used when a boy is born reflecting both that her grandmother wanted her to be a boy and that the colour used for birth is now used for death.
Also, Paimon is most powerful when possessing a younger male. Paimon was possessing Charlie, who is female where Paimon is less powerful. More symbolism of male birth!
Annie's death scene was the scene that disturbed me the most with the rest of the scenes (the decapitation, naked people, annie banging her head on the ceiling) made me laugh because of how uncomfortable and scared I was, but in her death scene I couldn't muster a laugh, the facial expressions she made were of fear, pain and horror, she was doing it slowly, like trying to hold back cutting her own head of but then it goes faster and faster and faster like she couldn't hold back anymore or that she gave up
For anyone who hasn't seen this movie yet, I really recommend closing this video and experiencing the full thing in all it's glory first, then coming back to this. This is both the best and worst movie I have ever seen. The sadness I felt watching this movie reminded me of the anxiety I felt watching Uncut Gems. I really can't think of any other pieces of media that gave me such a strong emotional response.
Just curious if anyone else out there picks up on the fact that Annie's dad probably starved to death because Queen Leigh was probably trying to put Paimon into him and he stopped eating.
Cool tips: Paimon is depicted holding three severed heads of women, which are accomplished with the mother, grandmother, and charlie. The grandmother's head was missing when discovered and the moment the mother's head hit the ground was when Paimon could finally enter the body.
I adore horror movies, and I've never really been bothered by their gore, acting, or special effects....Until THIS movie, oh my GOD, did this one actually make me stop breathing a few times in shock. I am so glad you did a kill count of it, it needs more praise!
When I was a movie theater worker, this movie played. Whenever I was helping out with closing, the ending would freak me out. Along when I walk home, I felt like I just came out of a nightmare.
I actually like it. Remember the Final Destination kill count with the roller coaster. When the crash happens, the toy rollercoaster was broken. He pays real attention to details
When I say this movie is a miserable watching experience I mean it in the most positive way I can articulate. It is dreadfully beautiful in all of the worst ways and unbelievably well made. Feels like one of those movies you get once a decade or so. With all that being said I would rather watch anything than this movie again.
HEREDITARY impacted me in a way no other film (let alone a horror film) ever has. It's one of those rare films that absolutely disturbs and terrifies me like no other. *That bit* in the middle was genuinely one of the most distressing things I've seen my life. But, as well as being insanely terrifying, HEREDITARY has a surprising symbolic and emotional core, displaying a family who becomes possessed with dysfunction and grief. A true horror Masterpiece. And if you're reading this before watching the video, I urge you to watch the film first, it's really worth it. The emotions the film evokes are best experienced when you have no clue what will happen.
It impacted me too. I watched it a month or two after my grandma passed away. Seeing grief and anguish put to film this convincingly was amazingly disturbing. Second watch I was fine, I watched it again to prove to myself I could. Seriously superb films you have to watch blind.
The only movie that did that was one of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Edit: Another movie that may do that is the fourth kind, which I have yet to watch. Just search it up. It has real footage. “I thought it was just an owl. It’s not an owl.” NvM Edit: wrong movie
Honestly the look of shock and horror the brother has, as he realizes his sister is dead is so believable and disturbing, incredible acting all around. It’s so realistic and insane as you see the realization completely shuts him down emotionally as he just drives away trying to pretend nothing happened at all. You see this mental state as he lays in his bed throughout the night you can easily imagine what he’s think as he comes to the realization of what he did and that his life will never be the same again as he enjoys his last moments of his parents being unaware of what has happened. It’s so horrifying and believable, I could easily see myself reacting in the same fashion if I had gone through that horrifying scenario.
Oh, the sweet symphony of collective jaws hitting the floor at the Pole scene in theaters followed by the 3 minutes of silence is one I will never forget. Hereditary is something special.
Idk man, her floating and banging her head on the ceiling upside down and sawing through her own throat while looking directly into the eyes of her child are pretty bad too.

i’m sure you already know this but the position that she’s in during that scene is the same bowing position her and all those people are in at the end in the treehouse :) one of my favorite foreshadowing moments in this entire movie
watched it a year ago and this was the first movie scene where I actually thought I might have to stop watching because I was just too overwhelmed
Agree...that scene actually hurt me.
Yeah, it's the single saddest moment I've ever seen in a horror movie, maybe in any movie. Her performance is on another level.
indica my aunt lost her daughter to leukemia and the way Anne cries is so similar to her cries that it seriously spooked me.
The scene where the mom was possessed and hitting her head on the attic door repeatedly while Peter was screaming to her and calling her “mommy” still haunts me ever since I’ve watched the film
Agreed. It was highly disturbing.
YES I don't know how to describe it. In any other context it could be very comical but in this scenario it's just extremely disturbing.
For me, it was the face that the mom makes when the father catches on fire, god that change to that evil smirk is so chilling
@@fonkimonki1272 it wasn’t her it was paimon it was her physical body but not her mentally she was possessed
Im not gonna lie when I say that I actually laughed at the scene.
The fact that toni collette wasnt even nominated for an oscar is criminal. She did a performance of a lifetime
She was great in _The Sixth Sense,_ as well.
literally, the oscars are an absolute scam

I feel the worst for Steve. Everyone is a victim in this, but he’s just a dad struggling to keep his family together, completely ignorant of the evil attacking his family.

I've read this comment like ten times and I still don't understand what you mean lol
Funny story. First time I went to see Hereditary, the screen projector broke... And all you could hear was Charlies clicks. Pitch black theater and just "CLICK". Lotta the audience tried to laugh it off, but we were terrified as hell. We ended up getting a refund.
Second time, I went with a friend and we were alone in the theater, goofing off and suddenly Charlie died. We both go dead silent and instantly feel awful for being dumb.
It’s all fun and games until you hear that clicking for real
That would be very creepy!
That's kind of terrifying
My bf and I were watching the movie at home, and we like to goof around and point out stuff about the movie as we watch. But as soon as Charlie's head hit that pole, both of us went absolutely silent, jaws dropped, and stayed that way for the next 10 minutes or so. It's probably one of my favorite movies (def favorite horror movie lol)
That, was not the movie...
*you need to run*
Toni Collette and Alex Wolff not even being considered for an award is just more proof that the horror genre doesn't get the respect it deserves

That scream that the mom did when she discovered Charlie’s corpse... that scared me the most. The pure emotion of grief and agony... I had to turn the movie off. I think it even gave me a fear of screams like that, which is something I didn’t have before. So yeah- kudos to that actress.
That was definitely the most real sounding scream of anguish I’ve ever heard in a film
I've actually heard someone react to their child's death IRL, and the acting in that scene was indistinguishable from how she reacted. That freaked me out
I haven't seen the film (horror film pussy), and I was watching this vid, and had to pause when I heard it. I don't know why, but Collette's wail just then was so unbelievably evocative of the most agonising grief possible. Freaked me out a bit.
The scream of just discoveri your child's death, but in such an unimaginable horrible way is so haunting
Yeah. Thar scream and Annie wailing hurt me. That was one of the most brutal moments in a movie I've ever seen.
two reveals in this video in "let's get to the numbers."
1. James has dope socks.
2. James wears pants while doing kill counts lol.

@@josephg.1.130 I think he also wore pants for at least one of the I Know What You Did Last Summer Kill Counts. 😁

6:33 I've never had any allergies, but as a person who was hospitalized on 7 separate occasions before middle school because I kept developing pneumonia from my asthma, I wanna take a second to recognize how absolutely honestly the nervous little "it's hard to breathe" from Charlie is delivered. The little sway, the timid voice, the way she seems to lack perspective on how her health weighs against the anxiety of causing a disruption. Perfect.
The mother's raw scream on the floor after Charlie's death was quite extraordinary. It was so emotional it almost felt wrong to watch it. It was far too private for my eyes to see.
My boyfriend died 6 months ago and that scene was too relatable. Having many breakdowns of my own similar too that. Toni Colette was phenomenal

Honestly James’ personality kept me through this video, otherwise i’d be terrified
Same
That is the most relatable comment ever
I think that’s like 90% of his viewers :)
Fair enough
Yeah
this woman's facial expressions ALONE were oscar-worthy. award shows are rigged.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are interested in a specific type of movie, and that is *not* movies that normal people go to see. These are people who can eat caviar like we eat *peanut butter.*
It is an established fact that being able to pay more means an increased chance at getting an award.
Watch the show "United States of Tara." Toni Colette plays a woman with 5 or 6 distinct personalities, and she has a different face for each one. When something happens to trigger her D.I.D., you can tell which alter is taking over just by the way Ms. Colette looks at the camera.
Reminds me of Wendy in the Shining and that's a great thing!
Same with the actor who played Peter. His inner turmoil is so palpable.
Everyone always talks about Charlie not being more careful when eating the chocolate cake that may or may not have nuts in it.
The cake didn’t have nuts though. In an earlier scene before Charlie is having reactions, you can see a group of people cutting nuts with a knife. They use the same knife to cut the cake. Cross contaminating.
That is a great attention to detail
oh wow
Also there is a theory that everything in the film is being influenced by the cult and paranormal forces. The lightpost that charlies head is decapitated on has the cult logo on it.
@@RaccocooneyThat's not really a theory as much as it's just what's happening in the movie tho lol.
Doesn't mean that the cake couldn't still have had nuts in it, tho. Either way, it wouldn't have been her fault, seeing as she was 13 and didn't need to be there in the first place.
The part when he accidently decapitated his sister and casually driving home while having a breakdown internally is so confusing, sad, surprising.
I don’t think he was having just a mental breakdown, he was in shock and did the only thing his brain had enough willpower to do: Go Home. Unfortunately, it happens a lot in scenarios where extremely traumatic things happen
@@thegriefer8818 does it?
@@zer0751 there’s a lot of cases of it, but that’s maybe because not many documents clarify when victims don’t go into shock or have a mental breakdown and only document the ones that do
@@thegriefer8818 that’s interesting, I guess that shows mental strength..
@@zer0751 oh god no, having a mental breakdown is a coping mechanism. All it shows is how people deal with traumatic experiences, actually from personal experience, bottling up trauma and emotions is one of the worst things to do as it can cause you to have a mental breakdown later on in years or months to come
When Peter just DIVES straight out the window zero hesitation I was like that’s the most realistic reaction I’ve even seen in a horror movie just G T F OOOOO!
😂😂fully, i’d be straight outta there fuck that
Literally! In so many horror movies the protagonist simply stands there in shock, or even stops running or fleeing. Having a protagonist actually attempt to survive was a real breath of fresh air in the horror genre
Why were all those naked people there?

The scene where Charlie died had me in absolute shock. And I LOVE how Alex Wolf acts after he realizes what just happened. He was too scared to even look in the mirror or ask if she was okay. Absolutely phenomenal.
It feels so much more realistic than just screaming at the corpse as so many other movies like to do, I’m glad to have the good stuff like this.
Especially him going straight to bed. As if he will wake up and it never happened. As if that is the only escape available. Searching for any moment of piece. But a lingering fear that tomorrow it will be there waiting for you when you wake up.

I felt so horrible for Peter all through this movie. Like I was disappointed how he was negligible with Charlie and let her eat something with nuts while he was getting high... But I guess you can't really expect too much of teenagers. But just the pure emotion he conveyed. Sitting in the car after the decapitation and after his mother screams at him at the dinner table notably. Also, the scene where his mother says she never wanted to be his mother, omg his faces were incredible :( (I know that scene was a "dream" though)

This one and Terrifier had me fucking SHOOK
I love how the trailer for "Hereditary" managed to convey the film's creepy tone while being intentionally misleading to avoid spoilers. As I watched Charlie's funeral scene, it occurred to me that I had seen that moment in the advertising, but I had assumed it was part of the grandmother's funeral. Only in hindsight did I realize 1) Annie's devastated sobbing made more sense in response to Charlie's death than to Ellen's, and 2) Charlie was nowhere to be seen among the attendees. The twist was pure brilliance!
Yeah, whoever did the trailer deserves a LOT of credit. It's more common to spoil some of the good parts. They made the movie look interesting without ruining what the movie was about.
So much text ahhh I'm not reading that bc I am v
THIS is how marketing should be done. I'm sick of trailers basically showing the best parts of the movie, especially the jumpscares, dampens the whole experience
I swear Toni Collette is a shining example of how the horror genre often gets overlooked
Plot twist: The deer was a friend of the bird that Charlie decapitated. So, She set up a trap to get revenge.
Doesn't make things any less sadder
@@roseslime713 true

Cool pfp
When I saw Hereditary in theatres, I can distinctly remember a gradual wave of gasps when people started to notice Annie on the wall. I wholeheartedly believe it is the standout shot of the film.
I was like “does he not sense someone above him?” 😂 but, at least he finally noticed the guy in the doorway
holly crap. And the fact that there's no soundtrack nor score whatsoever makes it even creepier
I thought the first time they used that tactic with Ellen in the dark room towards the beginning was scarier. It was so easy to miss, I got full body goosebumps like I’ve never experienced in a movie. I kinda felt when they used that again with Annie at the end, it was more expected and might’ve hung on a little too long. Still created wicked tension.
i showed this movie to my dad's girlfriend and she didn't notice annie at all at first 😂😂 i was like "did you see the mom in the corner?" and she was like "WHAT rewind it!!"

As a horror fan, Hereditary is a deeply unsettling and vicious film. Start with something silly and fun before you watch this nightmarish masterpiece
same mostly
This movie made me cry like a child. Annie's cry over Charlie rock me to my core. Took me a while to recover. I couldn't stop thinking of my own son. Easily the best horror film in a long time. Didn't know if she was truly losing her mind due to a combination of mental illness and grief.
Annie’s brother was right though. His note accused his mom of “putting people inside him” which is exactly what she did to both Charlie and Peter.
@KitchensAreHot Annie’s brother killed himself, likely because Mom tried to put Paimon inside of him first, hence the note. He probably did it to prevent the possession.
r/whoosh
Hereditary was spoiled for me, and it STILL made me feel absolute dread when watching Charlie's death. The mom's scream when finding Charlie is just so gut-wrenching and unforgettable. I admit, I haven't been able to sit through the whole thing because it makes my stomach turn, not from gore, but from how dreadfully sad it is. No other film has that effect on me. Absolutely amazing storytelling
I started watching it earlier, but had to turn it off after Charlie. I have a very strong stomach, I usually love blood and gore, but seeing her head was far too much for me to handle.
That death was spoiled for me too when I saw the clip on Twitter. But it was because of that clip that I decided to watch the movie because I thought that was such a crazy scene and got intrigued. It still hit pretty hard when I saw it in context
@@quintoofidiots5331 Yeah same. I loved Midsommar so figured Hereditary wouldn’t be a bad choice for another horror movie. I got to about Charlie’s death and went “Welp! This isn’t the movie for me :)”

I love the reoccurring symbol that was on grandma's necklace and etched on the pole on the highway. It is the real life symbol of Paimon the king, not just something they made up for the movie, and anyone who happened to know about Demonology might recognize it and immediately know that the grandmother was a demon worshipper. It's a cool detail.
For me, personally, the scariest scenes are the ones with Peter. The scene where Charlie dies and the last scene. It was...unsettling. Just the emotional weight of those scenes. How Peter couldn't even look at her. The guilt, just brilliant. And the last scene was the only one that might haunt me.
Kid never got ONE moment of solace. And I doubt he’ll be happy now that a demon’s currently in his body.
Agree. That poor boy was put through the wringer. He sees the remains of his entire family mutilated in grotesque ways.

The scariest part of the film for me was Annie's mum standing in the corner of her room.

It's like if you sat at a park bench and had a chat with a stranger, only to find out later they were a serial killer...
I was 17 when I watched it in 2020,and boy I was hella scared to the point where walking alone made me uncomfortable it was really scary I didn't sleep much and latterly told my brother if I could sleep with him
@@diegomartinez1951 Damn bro how you 17 and still acting like that about horror movies.
a shiver ran down my spine when i saw that scene and im a really big horror movie fan lol
@@mortem4342 Hate to break it to ya, but not everybody is a macho manly man like you, bud
@@mortem4342Because it's a horror movie? It's designed to be scary.
At 14:13 there's a guy in the doorway behind the boy's shoulder that moves and it scared the heck out of me 😭
I wonder if this means we might see a kill count for Midsommar soon, since it's the same director with similar themes. Either way, I'm glad to see Hereditary still getting love 2 years later!
there is one
i think he said he'd do one eventually on that very podcast.
I literally just watched this yesterday he knows me
@Chance Welsh they literally did one. might’ve been taken down but i watched it
Yep i watched that killcount too. It was taken down cuz it’s no longer here.
every time i watch it i just feel so awful for the dad especially. imagine how trapped he feels?? he’s stuck in the middle of his family having breakdowns and slowly becoming insane. i would feel so fucking hopeless
I really am surprised that more people haven’t mentioned him, his character made me sad and it’s tragic to think about everything going on around him along with his death. To me his character seemed to portray a more silent grief, and watching the scene where he’s taking Peter home where he begins to cry in the car made me feel awful :( all the actors in this movie did a wonderful job imo
@@woah0449 yeah i agree. it’s vv scary seeing everyone you love mentally break down and even die when there’s nothing you can do. the scene where he cried really got me. but yeah, all the actors did a nice job :-)
Toni Collette had told her agent that she didn't want to do any more heavy, dark films and only wanted to do comedies, but she loved the Hereditary script so much she couldn't turn it down.
Both Alex Wolff and Milly Shapiro attended Professional Children's School, and already knew each other before the film.
Alex Wolff said that Gabriel Byrne is one of his favorite people he's ever gotten to work with.
Toni Collette and Alex Wolff share a birthday (November 1).
FACTS
Oh wow those are some fun facts and my birthday also is November 1st. Legends only on Nov. 1st.
Sasageyo
These sure are facts! And I like them. Cool thanks.
What is a Professional Children’s school?
Fun detail that Charlie was buried in a light blue casket while light Blue is the colour used when a boy is born reflecting both that her grandmother wanted her to be a boy and that the colour used for birth is now used for death.
Also, Paimon is most powerful when possessing a younger male. Paimon was possessing Charlie, who is female where Paimon is less powerful. More symbolism of male birth!
@@FreshlyXpyr3d Demons are fascinating as hell!
@@greyworld6242 HEHEYEA!
It’s used for death but could also symbolize the “birth” of Paimon’s journey to being fully incarnated.
14:15 scared me shitless seeing someone in the background appear and dissapear
I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE THAT! HOLY SHIT
I believe that’s the person turning lights on for that scene but i could be wrong
It's the dad going to get the glass of water to throw on Annie
I love the hidden details in this film. I only just noticed this one now
I thought I was the only one who noticed lmao
Annie's death scene was the scene that disturbed me the most
with the rest of the scenes (the decapitation, naked people, annie banging her head on the ceiling) made me laugh because of how uncomfortable and scared I was, but in her death scene I couldn't muster a laugh, the facial expressions she made were of fear, pain and horror, she was doing it slowly, like trying to hold back cutting her own head of but then it goes faster and faster and faster like she couldn't hold back anymore or that she gave up
that part fucking scarred me
bruh Annie hitting her hair was second of what scarred me for life other than Charlie’s decapitation
For anyone who hasn't seen this movie yet, I really recommend closing this video and experiencing the full thing in all it's glory first, then coming back to this.
This is both the best and worst movie I have ever seen. The sadness I felt watching this movie reminded me of the anxiety I felt watching Uncut Gems. I really can't think of any other pieces of media that gave me such a strong emotional response.
Same with Midsommar!
"Well, f#ck past James, let's get to the kills!"
James has more funny one liners than most comedians I swear
The delivery makes it even better
I have two hot UA-camr girlfriends and I am the best UA-camr ever and YOUR savior. Good bye dear whd
#ck
-Darwinski- kakyoin??? How are you alive and watching the kill count
Just curious if anyone else out there picks up on the fact that Annie's dad probably starved to death because Queen Leigh was probably trying to put Paimon into him and he stopped eating.
I bet he “killed” himself, but when was e starving mentioned? I didn’t even see him mentioned in the movie 🤔
@@zer0751 Annie told her family story at the grief support group after Charlie's death. That's also where she spoke about her brothers suicide.
@@leninlover6986 oh I see, so he stopped eating? Thanks for clearing it up for me
He wouldn't technically be a part of her bloodline. I don't think he qualifies.
Erin Jane
It's not Annie's bloodline, it's her mother's. Annie and her BROTHER would be the same bloodline, Erin.
Cool tips: Paimon is depicted holding three severed heads of women, which are accomplished with the mother, grandmother, and charlie. The grandmother's head was missing when discovered and the moment the mother's head hit the ground was when Paimon could finally enter the body.
Wow
noice
Another cool fact the original ending had Peter rip his eyes out. I had a little trouble sleeping when learning this
Off topic but you've got an arsenal profile pic hell yeah
no shit lol. This isn't really a cool tip, its a pivotal and obvious part of the plot.
I adore horror movies, and I've never really been bothered by their gore, acting, or special effects....Until THIS movie, oh my GOD, did this one actually make me stop breathing a few times in shock. I am so glad you did a kill count of it, it needs more praise!
When you realize that Annie's brother who killed himself wasn't crazy and actually was telling the truth 👀😱
Ho-ly shit
When you realize Annie's father starved himself to death to keep his wife from putting a demon king inside him.
HOLY SHI-
@@kellifranklin4432 Babe it'll be fun I promise, we need to spice things up in the bedroom just let the demon king paimon posses your living body.
@@jellopackets3770 lmao
When I was a movie theater worker, this movie played. Whenever I was helping out with closing, the ending would freak me out. Along when I walk home, I felt like I just came out of a nightmare.
Damn
Hail Paimon! If i upset you with this, I'm sorry. It was just a joke, but i understand if this upsets you.
@@fishingkirby227 Then why did you do it?
I don’t think any of us really appreciate that James decorates his shelf in every single video.
P.S (Love your vids!!!!)
I actually like it. Remember the Final Destination kill count with the roller coaster. When the crash happens, the toy rollercoaster was broken. He pays real attention to details
@@stickmation6651 give me a link to that
@@MrWarthog Just watch his Final Destination...I forgot which one
But it's 2 or 3.
I want that model of Christine.
he does not edit his vids... his editors does....he said it in babysitter 2
When I say this movie is a miserable watching experience I mean it in the most positive way I can articulate. It is dreadfully beautiful in all of the worst ways and unbelievably well made. Feels like one of those movies you get once a decade or so. With all that being said I would rather watch anything than this movie again.
If I never see this movie again it will be too soon.
same thing with midsommar
“maybe he’s jealous she has pants, yknow since he grew up in a naked band” bro i grew up with that show dont do this to me
Dude that show was great
Umm gooooo
WAIT SHUT UP!!! That's what he was talking about I missed that
It took me some time to get this one. The naked brothers band. I remember that show.
HEREDITARY impacted me in a way no other film (let alone a horror film) ever has. It's one of those rare films that absolutely disturbs and terrifies me like no other. *That bit* in the middle was genuinely one of the most distressing things I've seen my life.
But, as well as being insanely terrifying, HEREDITARY has a surprising symbolic and emotional core, displaying a family who becomes possessed with dysfunction and grief. A true horror Masterpiece.
And if you're reading this before watching the video, I urge you to watch the film first, it's really worth it. The emotions the film evokes are best experienced when you have no clue what will happen.
I feel you man same here The directors a master at making these types of movies
It impacted me too. I watched it a month or two after my grandma passed away. Seeing grief and anguish put to film this convincingly was amazingly disturbing. Second watch I was fine, I watched it again to prove to myself I could.
Seriously superb films you have to watch blind.
The only movie that did that was one of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Edit: Another movie that may do that is the fourth kind, which I have yet to watch. Just search it up. It has real footage. “I thought it was just an owl. It’s not an owl.” NvM Edit: wrong movie
Honestly the look of shock and horror the brother has, as he realizes his sister is dead is so believable and disturbing, incredible acting all around. It’s so realistic and insane as you see the realization completely shuts him down emotionally as he just drives away trying to pretend nothing happened at all. You see this mental state as he lays in his bed throughout the night you can easily imagine what he’s think as he comes to the realization of what he did and that his life will never be the same again as he enjoys his last moments of his parents being unaware of what has happened. It’s so horrifying and believable, I could easily see myself reacting in the same fashion if I had gone through that horrifying scenario.
That opening death is genuinely one of the best movie scenes of all time
If it’s horror, you can kiss an Oscar goodbye no matter how good it is
It seems the exorcist, black swan and the silence of the lambs is the only time the oscars gave in haha
@@kashoot4782 yeah that’s why I hate when casual horror watchers try to rag on slasher because what would you know about a good horror?
@@HippieGoddess142 exactly! If it’s done right, it’s as good as anything right. Execution> plot
What about Get Out?
@@ilikemoviesandmore oh yea haha., won original screenplay right?
Oh, the sweet symphony of collective jaws hitting the floor at the Pole scene in theaters followed by the 3 minutes of silence is one I will never forget. Hereditary is something special.
Toni collet’s scene where shes crying and then her face turns straight immediately was so. chilling.
Idk man, her floating and banging her head on the ceiling upside down and sawing through her own throat while looking directly into the eyes of her child are pretty bad too.
It was kinda hot too ngl
@@MultiDexter77 yea she was 🥵🥵🥵
@@bigdickgod2442 that part really scared me when I seen it in theaters
@@MultiDexter77 LMAO NOT YOU GETTING TURNED ON BY HEREDITARY 💀
20:08 there is a friend in the corner of his room. How nice :)
