SOME EXPLANATIONS FOR THE MOVIE: Paimon was summoned into the body of the unborn Charlie, which is partly why she has the unsettling quirks that we see throughout. Charlie/Paimon was unaware of themself while inhabiting that body, likely unable to exist as TRUE PAIMON inside of a female body. That is why the cult refers to Paimon in Peter's body as Charlie at the end, because Paimon WAS Charlie (and Charlie was Paimon) their entire life. Peter did not see Paimon's essence until Charlie died and he was beginning to be primed as Paimon's new vessel. The cult can finally approach and speak to Paimon when he inhabits a suitable vessel. I think Melanie mentioned the grandmother having a wedding because of the dress; YES that was the cult's wedding between Ellen Leigh and Paimon, making Ellen Paimon's new "Queen Leigh". That makes the whole situation with feeding Charlie even more... interesting. She is intent on feeding Charlie because they're actually Paimon. I love how, for most of the movie, everything can be approached through the view of possible mental illness or trauma, then it becomes unequivocally a spiritual possession story. But all of that trauma is then re-contextualized, because you understand that all of the mental illness running in the family was not the only thing that was hereditary; everything they continued to suffer was because of the cult. Remember Annie mentioned her father had psychotic depression, and how Annie's brother Charles apparently had schizophrenia and hanged himself? It was also mentioned that Charles left a note behind about how their mother, Ellen, was "putting people inside of him" obviously in reference to their attempting to use him as a vessel for Paimon. The cult absolutely manipulated Charlie's death with the telephone pole being marked with Paimon's sigil. And just insane acting from everyone in this movie, incredible direction. So gratifying to watch this level of performance even if it's freaky as hell LOL. The approach of this movie really reminds me of The Haunting of Hill House, which Melanie and Aaron have seen, with the characters' families dealing with trauma and eventually understanding the involvement of the supernatural.
Yes the telephone pole was marked and they left the dead animal in the road so he would have to swerve off the road into the pole, this movie is an absolute MASTERPIECE on every level, the rewatch is even better
Just going to add that what we know at the end explains Annie's behavior regarding Peter when he was unborn/young. Either Annie was getting subconscious vibes from Ellen, or she was being influenced by some entity(s) opposed to Paimon. That's why Annie tried to miscarry and later had the paint thinner episode. Something was trying to prevent Paimon from entering the world by destroying the intended vessel.
"I trust Joanie." famous last words. This movie is basically us witnessing the sacrifice of the lamb (the family). Excellent direction by Ari Aster, Toni Collette is OUTSTANDING and you can't help but question every interaction even as far to the party - whose idea was it to add nuts to the cake, knowing now that is the catalyst. My favorite contemporary horror movie and excellent reaction as always BW - please react to more Ari :)
This movie has an avalanche of Easter eggs but the one I’ll point out is in the famous family dinner fight scene Annie says that Peter is always sneering and having that “face on your face.” Later in the movie Peter sees a reflection of himself at school and the face is sneering back at him. So one of the ways that Paimon could have been messing with the family is making Peter’s face look different to Annie then what Peter was actually looking like. Just another example of the trickster demon messing with the family
U take her performance and put it in an indie drama about grief and she’d have won everything. It’s a shame the academy doesn’t appreciate this genre. Though they did love Get Out so they’re not entirely oblivious
It's important to remember that everyone all the time is in the cult everyone is manipulating them the family was well and truly screwed from the start.
I have seen heaps of horrors and disturbing stuff, and this movie is the worst for me. It's because it's so real. Any of us could loose a child and Tony Collette's grief is so gut wrenching. I've always loved Tony Collette but man she was amazing in this.
@@ryuhitsuya21 same. It came off as Toni Collette channeling something that was extremely tragic in her own life into her performance. Her acting was so visceral and real in this film.
I think Grandma’s plan was “I’m gonna put Paimon in my husband” and the husband starved himself to death. Then Grandma’s plan was “I’m gonna put Paimon in my son”. He hung himself. Then Grandmas plan, 3rd time lucky right, was “I’m gonna put Paimon in my grandson” but Annie said “no way Mom, you’re weird, get away from my boy!” Then Grandmas plan was “Fine, I’ll put Paimon onto my next grandson” but she got a granddaughter instead. So Paimon was in Charlie until he could get out following the incident with the telegraph pole. Then Grandmas next plan was to get Paimon into Peter after all but she was dead by then. So best mate Joannie had to do a reverse exorcism to get Peter out of his body so Paimon can get in. Then Paimon was all like “If you need a job doing properly, you have to do it yourself” so he possessed Annie and traumatised Peter so that he could finally get into him *ahem* so to speak…
@@gandhialwaysleavesanonion679 After her husband burns to death. Immense trauma gives Paimon the ability to take over someone. Then Paimon has to get out to get into Peter. It’s why Annie uses the wire to remover her own head. It’s not her, it’s Paimon needing to get out to get to Peter
They happened to talk over one of the best most subtle jumpscares in horror cinema, but at least Aaron got Eric with the same sound effect right afterwards XD
The mother becoming possessed and floating around/banging her head on the attic door is maybe the single most horrifying thing in a movie to me. Idk why, it just GOT me
It scared me so bad in the theater, one of the few times I audibly gasped in a theater and could feel my skin crawl and my heartbeat skyrocket. It really does get to you on a visceral level
I've seen this movie countless times, I'm now only grossed out by the beheading, but EVERY time I see the head banging the being, I feel sick in my throat, and to my absolute core
It reminded me a bit of the "Let Me In" scene in The Babadook (both scenes creeped me out tbh because they were so unrelenting) but what's scarier about the scene in Hereditary was the mom said nothing throughout the scene. You knew the moment Paimon took over at 41:53, that there was nothing left of his mom. Poor Peter, imagine seeing all of that, seeing his dad's burnt remains, seeing his mom sawing her head off while staring at him & that's after losing his sister. just the way he slowly loses his whole family throughout the film is heartbreaking. So many great performances in this film, Collette, Byrne & Wolff were magnificent.
I'm always very appreciative of how willing to engage with a movie's themes and ideas Eric is. Reminds me of when he figured out the main theme of NOPE 5 minutes in
Aster controlled the lighting in the Annie on the ceiling scene such that in the theater, you couldn't see it right away. Then you had a packed house crowd, where people were randomly noticing her and screaming at different times.
I think that the sleepwalking was the part of her that wasn't influenced by the cult trying to unconsciously save Peter from his fate. She even said "I thought I was trying to save you." Also a part you cut out "liftoach pandemonium" on the walls. Liftoach is Hebrew for 'to open', so a lot of hidden things here and there that are great for a second watch if you can actually watch it a second time.
Important to note that @ 9:16, mom talks about her brother hanging himself because their mom (grandmom) tried to put “people” inside him. So it wasn’t always about Peter, he was just next in line.
3 beheadings were required to complete the ritual that's why Charlie loses her head, the mom cuts her own head off, and the grandmother's head was cut off posthumously.
I never got the chance to see this in the theatre (so mad at myself for not going) but that was the first and only time a movie has made me completely speechless and frozen. Literally gawked at the screen like an idiot for the next several minutes with my hand over my mouth. Even knowing what happens it still makes me hold my breath every time.
@@Richie___Rich The girl I was with at the time had to tell me to relax because I was squeezing her hand too hard. It's such a wild scene. Then you're waiting for the other shoe to drop for like an hour.
Scale model making, particularly of “normal” rooms like that is often a way for a person to express control over a life they otherwise feel they have no control over. In the scale room they have absolute control.
The moms screams are so accurate brings back too many memories, if you know someone in healthcare please tell them how special they are I’ve heard those screams more times than I can count
I love the acting in the moment where hone comes up to the car asking if she's alright ostensibly because of the mother's death but we know she knows the daughters dead obviously. But the moment she say no my daughter was KILLED and then this shock comes across her face like shes tasting the words for the first time and silently mouths for a second it's incredible.
Fun fact: the actor that plays Peter really broke his nose in that actual take they used , the scenes after with his nose bandaged was his real bandaging/bridging and he stated later he had to go to therapy for some time after filming becasue he got so deep into the role that it affected his psyche in a bad way that had him “seeing and hearing things and in a severely depressive state.” The outdoor shots , the exterior of house /tree house, cemetery etc were down the street from my home in Park City Utah and there is a lot of rural area with no homes around as seen in the movie , beautiful area though. I’d suggest watching hidden Easter eggs explanations of this movie you’ll be surprised at how much you missed , people standing in the shadows and around the house in the night shots , the blue bottle of paint knocking over by itself , not her hand , the key to it all is in the couple pages about king Paemon , the blue light, the tricks of the mind and the clicking of the tongue is all explained in the text and imagery in those couple pages she looks at. It’s wild. Midsommar was his and A24’s next film and identical but opposite at the same time it’s great too!
This movie scared the shit out of me first time I watched. Probably the most disturbed I've felt after watching a movie. So happy you guys are watching this.
Ikr? I thought, Toni, Alex Wolff & Gabriel Byrne should've gotten something for this, all 3 were outstanding in this movie. I agree, that scene was so eerie, it reminded me of that scene in The Babadook, though without giving away too much, it wasn't the head. I hope they check that one out too. Much like Toni, Essie Davis deserved an Oscar for that performance. I think if they enjoyed this, they will enjoy The Babadook.
"Batman does this" Gives you an idea of how scary Batman would to the goons of Gotham. Some shadowy figure crawling around the walls, perched up in corners, ready to ambush you when you least expect it.
This is one of those movies where rewatching shows how much thought is put into the little details. There are so many things I've picked up on since that I didn't notice in my first watch. But still, there's nothing quite like that first experience: what happens to Charlie is one of the most shocking moments I've ever experienced in a movie period. And of course the acting is amazing all around: so many good horror movies have *incredible* performances, and they don't get the kind of attention or recognition that they deserve.
Love the fact that the sleepwalking episode when Annie try to burn herself and Peter was her really trying to save Peter form Paimon to take over his body.
This is easily one of my top 3 horror movies of all time and I FUCKING LOVE horror movies. So incredible and you notice something new every time you watch it. I hope Melanie never feels bad about showing emotion. Some people in the comments are trying hard to sound like tough guys … being sensitive and empathetic are beautiful traits to have. I’m a man and I was right there with you during “that” part. Her wails are so so haunting. But that’s the mark of a great movie, it makes you feel things.
That line always gets a gasp in just about every reaction I've seen for this movie too. I think it's the scene where some feel the most sympathy for Peter, so many reactors start to feel alot of sympathy for Peter from that scene all the way to the end.
Omg this is a hard enough reaction to watch in general, but poor sweetheart Melanie made it almost unbearable as a sympathetic crier 😭 I had to keep taking breaks! From one mother to another, I see how big your heart is and I honor you for it 💕
My favorite detail I learned after watching was the clues that the cult members have been in the house since Ellens funeral… when the family comes home from the funeral you can here steps in the house before Steve opens the door.
Uhhhh it's getting close to midnight for me, this better not give me nightmare 😢 Yaaaay another video with Melanie! I always appreciate when she's in videos, she usually has a great take on scenes. 😊
This is the first reaction I actually wanted to fast forward through the messed up parts even though I loved the movie. I felt so bad Melanie had to go through this 😭
The regression of the son Peter, when he becomes child-like and starts crying and wailing “Mommy!” For some reason that is just as disturbing as anything else in this film.
I'm so glad the crew finally reacted to this masterpiece of horror! :) This type of atmospheric, psychological horror is eerily reminiscent of movies like The Shining and The Babadook. The tension constantly builds up, as dread seems to fill the air more and more. Also, for a horror movie, it is incredibly well acted. Toni Collette is often acclaimed, but I think Alex Wolff (Peter) deserves a lot of credit too. I had never seen the actor before, but he really made me feel for his character. It's not easy to emote real, believable fear, but he succeeded over and over. The themes in this movie run deep. Family, trauma, guilt, mental health, free will, etc. The writers used the supernatural to enhance already-dark and difficult subjects. For a long time throughout the movie, it was not even clear if Annie was suffering from mental illness or if there were indeed supernatural elements at play. Having lived with someone who was in and out of reality for many years, I know how terrifying and stressful that can be. I recognized a lot of those patterns in Toni Collette's character. The story felt even more real to me because of that, and thus a lot scarier. I'm ok with it being supernatural in the end, but still I appreciate that Ari Aster put that uncertainty in the film. Despite being classified as horror, Hereditary is also incredibly sad. It could be qualified as a family drama. The relationships Annie has with her husband and her son are at the core of the story. You only find out about the sleepwalking incident around the middle point of the movie, but it makes so much sense then, as you realize why there seemed to be a wedge between them and why Annie wouldn't talk to her husband. She felt guilty and thought both her son and her husband could never fully trust her again. That they would not listen to her or understand her. Also, the cinematography in this movie is amazing. I know Eric pointed it out a few times, but no! It needed to be said more often! Some of the shots were insane. Even the decisions they made sometimes, like the choice to only let us hear Annie's screams when she finds Charlie's body. Truly more horrifying that way, as we get to see Peter's reaction. This is also a movie that is quite fun to rewatch, as you can piece together a lot of clues from the beginning. I noticed that none of them saw the naked people outside the house earlier in the movie, that they didn't connect the smiling man at the funeral to the one in the house, and so on. This film is multi-layered in more than one way. I hope they do rewatch it on their own and enjoy it without having to react. Well, except Melanie. I don't want her to be traumatized anew. 🤣 Speaking of, the only problem with this movie in the context of a reaction is that 75% of it is about the atmosphere, the cinematography, and the subtle clues/mysteries that you have to catch. A reaction format is obviously not the most conductive to enjoying those elements. You have to speak often, meaning you take yourself out of the atmosphere constantly and you miss clues. It's also a film that best works when you are fully immersed, which is why a lot of people don't like it. If you tend to be distracted or have trouble focusing on anything for long, this movie won't work well on you.
@@manoelerse7058 I totally get that but I prefer Midsommar. I think its such an interesting analysis of the thing its about (I don't wanna spoil it for anyone)
@@jessegonzalez926 Hereditary is my fav just because it captures a sense of disorienting grief that felt indescribable to me. But I also totally get why people would prefer Midsommar for different reasons! Both are honestly horror masterclasses imo
Paimon is described in various sources as either one of the four Cardinal Kings (who in places that include that usually place them right below the big ones like Lucifer and Beelzebub, and in some places they have to be invoked first before any other demons can be summoned), just a king or as one of 8 dukes. The cult in this seem to be using some kind of middle-point. Also the symbol that is everywhere is his sigil from the Ars Goetia. I appreciate that they didn't include those name-cicle things Crowely added and everyone just copies from him. Makes them seem more authentic and older.
I love all the little details you notice on rewatch. Like how most of the people at the funeral and the grief counseling session Show up at the end, meaning they were all apart of the cult, and were manipulating everything from the start. One of peters friends is also in the treehouse at the end. When the family gets home from the funeral early in the movie, you can hear someone running around in the Attic and A door close. I would honestly say that this movie can be scairer and more depressing on rewatch, just because you know how doomed the family is. Also big lol on Eric trusting Joan, when in actuality shes like the most evil old lady ever
I feel like Melanie handled it a lot better than I thought when I realized she was in the reaction movie. Glad Eric and Aaron were there the offering to provide comfort was heartwarming.
I think that the mother’s sleepwalking/trying to kill her kids is her subconscious understanding that both her kids were cursed. That is why when Peter says in the sleepwalking scene, “you tried to kill me,” his mother says back, “I was trying to save you!” Subconsciously she must have known her family was cursed/doomed (recall the classroom conversation in the beginning of the movie about literary characters tragically not having any choice, and just being pawns in a hopeless machine). She tried to “save” her kids from their inevitable family fate by killing them in their sleep.
It is when the mother say to the group "my brother accused my mom of putting people inside him" is where i chose to believe the Grand-ma was already trying to bring Paemon inside her own son, but he **** himself before she could succeed.
The grandmother first tried with her own son. Annie's brother. Remember she said that his note accused his mother of trying to put people inside of him.
When everyone was saying why melanie is their for this reaction I didn't know what they were talking about , but when the girl died and she started crying I understood. Man she has such gentle heart. Innocent people are precious.
This is one of those movies you have to rewatch to catch everything, as there are so many little details to pick up on and fully understand. I myself had to watch a special “in-depth look” video about it all (I think Netflix did one). Like, the picture of King Paimon in the book near the end has a bag containing three heads (hence the various decapitations) and is holding a staff with a hand pointed awkwardly (exactly how Peter holds his hand up in the classroom).
This movie is truly the only one that has disturbed me. Been reading Stephan King since I was 13,- I love a good scare!! But THIS one bothered me as much as IT. Have fun sleeping soundly tonight y’all ❤
The score and sound usage in this film are phenomenal. I loved how Colin Stetson composed a twisted version of Schubert's "Ave Maria" at the end of the film. "Ave Maria" is one of the most beautifully composed pieces of music and a lot of people get a sense of peace when hearing it. The composer twists that feeling of peace into something evil and dreadful.
1:03 “I don’t think it’s scary” I’m sorry guys this one is one of the more disturbing and hunting movies probably because is very realistic and tragic. Also extremely well acted 🫠 it became a favorite of mine to watch on Halloween but after that I need to watch something more light hearted Nightmare e before Christmas or the Conjuring
14:05: poor Melanie. first time I watched that scene I actually felt so ill with shock I tasted bile. I don't remember the last time a movie did that to me. And then later on this movie produced another visceral reaction from me that I hadn't felt since probably when I first watched Blair Witch Project...like actual dread that stayed with me long after the movie was over. I still check ceiling corners of rooms to this day because of it. can't help it.
Yep, Charlie is just awful, but the ceiling scene scared me so bad on a primal level I audibly gasped in the theater, as did the rest of the people there. It felt like we were all in the room with him, it was done so well, it truly sticks with you and scares you to the point of checking every ceiling corner when you get home, laying in bed staring into the darkness, hoping and rationalizing that the boogeyman isn’t lurking in the corner just out of sight
One night I couldn't fall asleep, so I figured I'd watch a movie to make myself sleepy. I heard Hereditary was good but I didn't know what it was about. Two hours later I had even more trouble falling asleep. Turns out Hereditary was a bad choice. Not a good bedtime story.
I remember growing up, and watching films like Halloween, saw, the ring etc. these movies stuck with me, just cause I was so young and never seen anything like them. Older I got the more I watched back and realised they weren’t scary at all. Where as when I was in my mid 20s, and after watching hereditary. That film STUCK with me, and still does to this day. The most unsettling, and nervous I was after watching it for months! I actually was almost scared In bed alone after seeing it first night hahahaha
@@Jamiiemacyeah, slasher films are never scary. Might have a creepy moment here and there, but they mostly exist to shock and have fun. Pet Sematary, The Exorcist, Poltergeist... These are truly unsettling horror.
I didn't realize until the second watch that the naked guy in the closet smiling was at the funeral smiling at Charlie. So Annie's mother had cult members basically following Annie's family everywhere
I was so captivated by all the aspects of filmmaking I didn’t even think it was scary the first time. Truly terrifying tho. What’s more terrifying is that Toni was not nominated for an Oscar.

Eric offering the stress-ball gave off some serious Frank offering an egg during this trying time energy.
I thought the same thing 😂😂😂
Pretty sure they're past the skin handbag episode considering Eric's "Think of the smell!" comment.
@@cctomcat321hearing Eric quote that scene makes me excited to watch it again
Can I offer you a stress-ball in this trying time?
@@wavehellhole I hope they get to the outtakes, too. One of the best ones.
Its insane Toni Collette didnt win any awards for this. She absolutely killed it
U take her performance and put it in an indie drama about grief and she’d have won everything. It’s a shame the academy doesn’t appreciate this genre. Though they did love Get Out so they’re not entirely oblivious
@@Knightowl1980it's sad that you're right. Academy has so many biases its impossible to ignore.
It's important to remember that everyone all the time is in the cult everyone is manipulating them the family was well and truly screwed from the start.
Much like the lecture the teacher was giving, about the protagonist of some Classical legend not having any control or choice
Man I felt SO bad once I saw Melanie was going to be reacting to this. I just knew how distressing this movie is for mothers.
I literally thought “ oh yall are freaks for having Melanie do this one” lol.
I have seen heaps of horrors and disturbing stuff, and this movie is the worst for me. It's because it's so real. Any of us could loose a child and Tony Collette's grief is so gut wrenching. I've always loved Tony Collette but man she was amazing in this.
Toni Collette definitely got robbed not winning anything for this movie
She won the memories of so many people cause those screams will haunt me for decades to come
I don't think she even got nominated for an Oscar which is just crazy.
@@ryuhitsuya21 same. It came off as Toni Collette channeling something that was extremely tragic in her own life into her performance. Her acting was so visceral and real in this film.
I think Grandma’s plan was “I’m gonna put Paimon in my husband” and the husband starved himself to death.
Then Grandma’s plan was “I’m gonna put Paimon in my son”. He hung himself.
Then Grandmas plan, 3rd time lucky right, was “I’m gonna put Paimon in my grandson” but Annie said “no way Mom, you’re weird, get away from my boy!”
Then Grandmas plan was “Fine, I’ll put Paimon onto my next grandson” but she got a granddaughter instead. So Paimon was in Charlie until he could get out following the incident with the telegraph pole.
Then Grandmas next plan was to get Paimon into Peter after all but she was dead by then. So best mate Joannie had to do a reverse exorcism to get Peter out of his body so Paimon can get in.
Then Paimon was all like “If you need a job doing properly, you have to do it yourself” so he possessed Annie and traumatised Peter so that he could finally get into him *ahem* so to speak…
He possessed Annie?? When
@@gandhialwaysleavesanonion679 After her husband burns to death. Immense trauma gives Paimon the ability to take over someone.
Then Paimon has to get out to get into Peter. It’s why Annie uses the wire to remover her own head. It’s not her, it’s Paimon needing to get out to get to Peter
@@crouchingotter Bruh im so dumb I got Annie and Joan confused somehow lmao my bad
@@gandhialwaysleavesanonion679 Don’t worry. I love this film and had to google Annie’s name 😂
They happened to talk over one of the best most subtle jumpscares in horror cinema, but at least Aaron got Eric with the same sound effect right afterwards XD
YES! That was unfortunate. Scared the shit out of everyone in the theater I was in on my first watch. 🤣
Which one is that ? The grandma ? Sorry
@@ΔημήτρηςΔεληγεωργίου I imagine it's the tick the mother hears from the backseat of her car while driving. 26:04
@@the_crypter Yep.
@@ΔημήτρηςΔεληγεωργίου The mouth-click in the car
The mother becoming possessed and floating around/banging her head on the attic door is maybe the single most horrifying thing in a movie to me. Idk why, it just GOT me
It scared me so bad in the theater, one of the few times I audibly gasped in a theater and could feel my skin crawl and my heartbeat skyrocket. It really does get to you on a visceral level
@@codyt821 exactly this… it’s just so unnatural
I've seen this movie countless times, I'm now only grossed out by the beheading, but EVERY time I see the head banging the being, I feel sick in my throat, and to my absolute core
So disturbing! And the sound of her beheading herself... 😱
It reminded me a bit of the "Let Me In" scene in The Babadook (both scenes creeped me out tbh because they were so unrelenting) but what's scarier about the scene in Hereditary was the mom said nothing throughout the scene. You knew the moment Paimon took over at 41:53, that there was nothing left of his mom.
Poor Peter, imagine seeing all of that, seeing his dad's burnt remains, seeing his mom sawing her head off while staring at him & that's after losing his sister. just the way he slowly loses his whole family throughout the film is heartbreaking. So many great performances in this film, Collette, Byrne & Wolff were magnificent.
I'm always very appreciative of how willing to engage with a movie's themes and ideas Eric is. Reminds me of when he figured out the main theme of NOPE 5 minutes in
i can't get over their faces while annie was telling the sleepwalking story LMFAOOOOOOO
“Everyone needs a Joan”
Eh you sure about that?
"That thin white outfit will offer no protection from my fist"... phrasing, Eric.
😂😂😂😂
Aster controlled the lighting in the Annie on the ceiling scene such that in the theater, you couldn't see it right away. Then you had a packed house crowd, where people were randomly noticing her and screaming at different times.
I think that the sleepwalking was the part of her that wasn't influenced by the cult trying to unconsciously save Peter from his fate. She even said "I thought I was trying to save you."
Also a part you cut out "liftoach pandemonium" on the walls. Liftoach is Hebrew for 'to open', so a lot of hidden things here and there that are great for a second watch if you can actually watch it a second time.
Important to note that @ 9:16, mom talks about her brother hanging himself because their mom (grandmom) tried to put “people” inside him. So it wasn’t always about Peter, he was just next in line.
3 beheadings were required to complete the ritual that's why Charlie loses her head, the mom cuts her own head off, and the grandmother's head was cut off posthumously.
Yeah and it was all foreshadowed with the pigeon
love how dude on the left was liking and trusting Joan the whole time lol
I hope you guys give poor Melanie 100% of the ad revenue from these videos 🤣
The scene where Charlie dies is easily the quietest movie theater moment I've ever had.
THIS. I've never been in a more silent theater at that moment. Everyone was collectively in shock along with Peter.
I never got the chance to see this in the theatre (so mad at myself for not going) but that was the first and only time a movie has made me completely speechless and frozen. Literally gawked at the screen like an idiot for the next several minutes with my hand over my mouth. Even knowing what happens it still makes me hold my breath every time.
@@Richie___Rich The girl I was with at the time had to tell me to relax because I was squeezing her hand too hard. It's such a wild scene. Then you're waiting for the other shoe to drop for like an hour.
42:15
Eric: Batman does this.
(Melanie, in the middle of a mental breakdown)
Aaron: Spiderman...
Eric: Yeah
Scale model making, particularly of “normal” rooms like that is often a way for a person to express control over a life they otherwise feel they have no control over. In the scale room they have absolute control.
Love their faces at the end of the movie (48:56)
Melanie and Aaron completely stunned
Eric just vibing to the music
The moms screams are so accurate brings back too many memories, if you know someone in healthcare please tell them how special they are I’ve heard those screams more times than I can count
I love the acting in the moment where hone comes up to the car asking if she's alright ostensibly because of the mother's death but we know she knows the daughters dead obviously. But the moment she say no my daughter was KILLED and then this shock comes across her face like shes tasting the words for the first time and silently mouths for a second it's incredible.
I’m having like some weird blind wave Mandela effect. I remember watching a reaction of this from them 🫨😂
When I saw it was uploaded an hour ago I had the same feeling, though I don't actually have memory of watching it 😐
You must have been sleepwalking 🙂 *tongue click*
@@OwlEye-kj5sjwell I never wanted to be your mother.
Guys, please stop spooking me
😳😱
I CANT BELIEVE Melanie’s in this panel. I suddenly have hope for SINISTER lmao one of my fav creepy horror movies!
Sinister is a top movie
Saw this pop up and immediately thought " Oh what an unfortunate turn of events for them"😂
Fun fact: the actor that plays Peter really broke his nose in that actual take they used , the scenes after with his nose bandaged was his real bandaging/bridging and he stated later he had to go to therapy for some time after filming becasue he got so deep into the role that it affected his psyche in a bad way that had him “seeing and hearing things and in a severely depressive state.” The outdoor shots , the exterior of house /tree house, cemetery etc were down the street from my home in Park City Utah and there is a lot of rural area with no homes around as seen in the movie , beautiful area though.
I’d suggest watching hidden Easter eggs explanations of this movie you’ll be surprised at how much you missed , people standing in the shadows and around the house in the night shots , the blue bottle of paint knocking over by itself , not her hand , the key to it all is in the couple pages about king Paemon , the blue light, the tricks of the mind and the clicking of the tongue is all explained in the text and imagery in those couple pages she looks at. It’s wild.
Midsommar was his and A24’s next film and identical but opposite at the same time it’s great too!
For a first viewing you all did remarkably well in analyzing and catching many details. Well done!
This is both a cruel movie to show them all, and an amazing one. Because it will get reactions and it will be painful
This movie scared the shit out of me first time I watched. Probably the most disturbed I've felt after watching a movie. So happy you guys are watching this.
toni collette deserved an oscar for this movie. the scene of her banging her head repeatedly will forever live in my nightmares
Ikr? I thought, Toni, Alex Wolff & Gabriel Byrne should've gotten something for this, all 3 were outstanding in this movie. I agree, that scene was so eerie, it reminded me of that scene in The Babadook, though without giving away too much, it wasn't the head.
I hope they check that one out too. Much like Toni, Essie Davis deserved an Oscar for that performance. I think if they enjoyed this, they will enjoy The Babadook.
Melanie's breathy 'Oh Fuuuu...' at the end gave me true joy. Dear god, her face XD
This Hereditary reaction is everything I’ve ever hoped for.
Eric's face went through the spectrum of expression.
I let out an audible “Oh no” when I saw they were watching this one.
"Batman does this"
Gives you an idea of how scary Batman would to the goons of Gotham. Some shadowy figure crawling around the walls, perched up in corners, ready to ambush you when you least expect it.
This is one of those movies where rewatching shows how much thought is put into the little details. There are so many things I've picked up on since that I didn't notice in my first watch. But still, there's nothing quite like that first experience: what happens to Charlie is one of the most shocking moments I've ever experienced in a movie period. And of course the acting is amazing all around: so many good horror movies have *incredible* performances, and they don't get the kind of attention or recognition that they deserve.
Love the fact that the sleepwalking episode when Annie try to burn herself and Peter was her really trying to save Peter form Paimon to take over his body.
This is easily one of my top 3 horror movies of all time and I FUCKING LOVE horror movies. So incredible and you notice something new every time you watch it.
I hope Melanie never feels bad about showing emotion. Some people in the comments are trying hard to sound like tough guys … being sensitive and empathetic are beautiful traits to have. I’m a man and I was right there with you during “that” part. Her wails are so so haunting. But that’s the mark of a great movie, it makes you feel things.
I saw this in theaters and when Annie said "I never wanted to be your mother" there was an audible gasp in the theater.
That line always gets a gasp in just about every reaction I've seen for this movie too. I think it's the scene where some feel the most sympathy for Peter, so many reactors start to feel alot of sympathy for Peter from that scene all the way to the end.
Omg this is a hard enough reaction to watch in general, but poor sweetheart Melanie made it almost unbearable as a sympathetic crier 😭 I had to keep taking breaks! From one mother to another, I see how big your heart is and I honor you for it 💕
Toni Colette should have gotten an Academy Award for this, and it is a damned disgrace that she wasn't even nominated. She's MAGNIFICENT.
My favorite detail I learned after watching was the clues that the cult members have been in the house since Ellens funeral… when the family comes home from the funeral you can here steps in the house before Steve opens the door.
Uhhhh it's getting close to midnight for me, this better not give me nightmare 😢
Yaaaay another video with Melanie! I always appreciate when she's in videos, she usually has a great take on scenes. 😊
26:12 - Aaron doing that clicking sound absolutely sent me 🤣🤣🤣
This is the first reaction I actually wanted to fast forward through the messed up parts even though I loved the movie. I felt so bad Melanie had to go through this 😭
Did they really not know how dark/scary this movie gets? Was infamous for months when it came out...
"She looks like Aunt Lydia." That's because she is - same actress!
12:50 “That thin white outfit won’t offer her no protection from my fists” 😂😂
18:08 I never noticed Peter's eyes looking so red here from the light- great foreshadowing for how his eyes will look by the end.
The regression of the son Peter, when he becomes child-like and starts crying and wailing “Mommy!”
For some reason that is just as disturbing as anything else in this film.
I saw melanie in the thumbnail and I audibly went “oh NO..” 😂
the score is great - the triumphant swell of horns at the end. yeah, i've had a lot of sleepless nights from this film
39:39 straight up thought that was a bottle of Jack Daniels 😂
“Head ants, that’s worse than bed bugs” lmao never change
Melanie’s exhaled “fuckkk” at the end sums it up really
I'm so glad the crew finally reacted to this masterpiece of horror! :) This type of atmospheric, psychological horror is eerily reminiscent of movies like The Shining and The Babadook. The tension constantly builds up, as dread seems to fill the air more and more. Also, for a horror movie, it is incredibly well acted. Toni Collette is often acclaimed, but I think Alex Wolff (Peter) deserves a lot of credit too. I had never seen the actor before, but he really made me feel for his character. It's not easy to emote real, believable fear, but he succeeded over and over.
The themes in this movie run deep. Family, trauma, guilt, mental health, free will, etc. The writers used the supernatural to enhance already-dark and difficult subjects. For a long time throughout the movie, it was not even clear if Annie was suffering from mental illness or if there were indeed supernatural elements at play. Having lived with someone who was in and out of reality for many years, I know how terrifying and stressful that can be. I recognized a lot of those patterns in Toni Collette's character. The story felt even more real to me because of that, and thus a lot scarier. I'm ok with it being supernatural in the end, but still I appreciate that Ari Aster put that uncertainty in the film.
Despite being classified as horror, Hereditary is also incredibly sad. It could be qualified as a family drama. The relationships Annie has with her husband and her son are at the core of the story. You only find out about the sleepwalking incident around the middle point of the movie, but it makes so much sense then, as you realize why there seemed to be a wedge between them and why Annie wouldn't talk to her husband. She felt guilty and thought both her son and her husband could never fully trust her again. That they would not listen to her or understand her.
Also, the cinematography in this movie is amazing. I know Eric pointed it out a few times, but no! It needed to be said more often! Some of the shots were insane. Even the decisions they made sometimes, like the choice to only let us hear Annie's screams when she finds Charlie's body. Truly more horrifying that way, as we get to see Peter's reaction.
This is also a movie that is quite fun to rewatch, as you can piece together a lot of clues from the beginning. I noticed that none of them saw the naked people outside the house earlier in the movie, that they didn't connect the smiling man at the funeral to the one in the house, and so on. This film is multi-layered in more than one way. I hope they do rewatch it on their own and enjoy it without having to react. Well, except Melanie. I don't want her to be traumatized anew. 🤣
Speaking of, the only problem with this movie in the context of a reaction is that 75% of it is about the atmosphere, the cinematography, and the subtle clues/mysteries that you have to catch. A reaction format is obviously not the most conductive to enjoying those elements. You have to speak often, meaning you take yourself out of the atmosphere constantly and you miss clues. It's also a film that best works when you are fully immersed, which is why a lot of people don't like it. If you tend to be distracted or have trouble focusing on anything for long, this movie won't work well on you.
MIDSOMMAR has entered the chat.
not near as good as this movie tho
@@manoelerse7058 I totally get that but I prefer Midsommar. I think its such an interesting analysis of the thing its about (I don't wanna spoil it for anyone)
@@jessegonzalez926 suure, the visuals are great too
@@manoelerse7058I think it’s better
@@jessegonzalez926 Hereditary is my fav just because it captures a sense of disorienting grief that felt indescribable to me. But I also totally get why people would prefer Midsommar for different reasons! Both are honestly horror masterclasses imo
Oh dear, I knew this will bring Melanie to tears.
Paimon is described in various sources as either one of the four Cardinal Kings (who in places that include that usually place them right below the big ones like Lucifer and Beelzebub, and in some places they have to be invoked first before any other demons can be summoned), just a king or as one of 8 dukes. The cult in this seem to be using some kind of middle-point. Also the symbol that is everywhere is his sigil from the Ars Goetia. I appreciate that they didn't include those name-cicle things Crowely added and everyone just copies from him. Makes them seem more authentic and older.
I love all the little details you notice on rewatch. Like how most of the people at the funeral and the grief counseling session Show up at the end, meaning they were all apart of the cult, and were manipulating everything from the start. One of peters friends is also in the treehouse at the end. When the family gets home from the funeral early in the movie, you can hear someone running around in the Attic and A door close.
I would honestly say that this movie can be scairer and more depressing on rewatch, just because you know how doomed the family is.
Also big lol on Eric trusting Joan, when in actuality shes like the most evil old lady ever
I feel like Melanie handled it a lot better than I thought when I realized she was in the reaction movie. Glad Eric and Aaron were there the offering to provide comfort was heartwarming.
I think that the mother’s sleepwalking/trying to kill her kids is her subconscious understanding that both her kids were cursed. That is why when Peter says in the sleepwalking scene, “you tried to kill me,” his mother says back, “I was trying to save you!” Subconsciously she must have known her family was cursed/doomed (recall the classroom conversation in the beginning of the movie about literary characters tragically not having any choice, and just being pawns in a hopeless machine). She tried to “save” her kids from their inevitable family fate by killing them in their sleep.
They need to react to The Substance...
It is when the mother say to the group "my brother accused my mom of putting people inside him" is where i chose to believe the Grand-ma was already trying to bring Paemon inside her own son, but he **** himself before she could succeed.
Such an unsettling movie. Toni Collette gives an all-time horror performance.
The grandmother first tried with her own son. Annie's brother. Remember she said that his note accused his mother of trying to put people inside of him.
This has become one of my all time fave movies. Especially as Alex Wolf goes from this to Jumanji. You need to check out Midsommar as well.
When everyone was saying why melanie is their for this reaction I didn't know what they were talking about , but when the girl died and she started crying I understood.
Man she has such gentle heart.
Innocent people are precious.
I’m here for the trauma
This is one of those movies you have to rewatch to catch everything, as there are so many little details to pick up on and fully understand. I myself had to watch a special “in-depth look” video about it all (I think Netflix did one). Like, the picture of King Paimon in the book near the end has a bag containing three heads (hence the various decapitations) and is holding a staff with a hand pointed awkwardly (exactly how Peter holds his hand up in the classroom).
This movie is truly the only one that has disturbed me. Been reading Stephan King since I was 13,- I love a good scare!! But THIS one bothered me as much as IT. Have fun sleeping soundly tonight y’all ❤
the fact that Toni Collette didn't get an oscar for this movie is a literal crime. her acting was incredible
The score and sound usage in this film are phenomenal. I loved how Colin Stetson composed a twisted version of Schubert's "Ave Maria" at the end of the film. "Ave Maria" is one of the most beautifully composed pieces of music and a lot of people get a sense of peace when hearing it. The composer twists that feeling of peace into something evil and dreadful.
1:03 “I don’t think it’s scary” I’m sorry guys this one is one of the more disturbing and hunting movies probably because is very realistic and tragic. Also extremely well acted 🫠 it became a favorite of mine to watch on Halloween but after that I need to watch something more light hearted Nightmare e before Christmas or the Conjuring
“I can’t drink that” true Melanie… very true 😂
First Fall of the House of Usher, now this? Hell yeah!
That dinner scene is one of the best in any genre of movie!
14:05: poor Melanie. first time I watched that scene I actually felt so ill with shock I tasted bile. I don't remember the last time a movie did that to me. And then later on this movie produced another visceral reaction from me that I hadn't felt since probably when I first watched Blair Witch Project...like actual dread that stayed with me long after the movie was over. I still check ceiling corners of rooms to this day because of it. can't help it.
Yep, Charlie is just awful, but the ceiling scene scared me so bad on a primal level I audibly gasped in the theater, as did the rest of the people there. It felt like we were all in the room with him, it was done so well, it truly sticks with you and scares you to the point of checking every ceiling corner when you get home, laying in bed staring into the darkness, hoping and rationalizing that the boogeyman isn’t lurking in the corner just out of sight
One night I couldn't fall asleep, so I figured I'd watch a movie to make myself sleepy. I heard Hereditary was good but I didn't know what it was about. Two hours later I had even more trouble falling asleep. Turns out Hereditary was a bad choice. Not a good bedtime story.
The scariest movie I’ve ever seen
It's one of the most unsettling films I've seen.
I remember growing up, and watching films like Halloween, saw, the ring etc. these movies stuck with me, just cause I was so young and never seen anything like them. Older I got the more I watched back and realised they weren’t scary at all.
Where as when I was in my mid 20s, and after watching hereditary. That film STUCK with me, and still does to this day.
The most unsettling, and nervous I was after watching it for months! I actually was almost scared In bed alone after seeing it first night hahahaha
Definitely a movie I’ve seen
@@Jamiiemacyeah, slasher films are never scary. Might have a creepy moment here and there, but they mostly exist to shock and have fun. Pet Sematary, The Exorcist, Poltergeist... These are truly unsettling horror.
38:33 Nice sunny reference Eric 😂
“Everyone needs a Joan.” Oh poor sweet summer child
Ikr? Second reaction I've seen to Hereditary recently where someone says exactly that, I think that was Reel Rejects not that long ago.
@@TheBraunMachine2K24 it was reel rejects because I remember thinking the same thing but someone already beat me to it.
I didn't realize until the second watch that the naked guy in the closet smiling was at the funeral smiling at Charlie. So Annie's mother had cult members basically following Annie's family everywhere
Everyone put in an acting clinic in this film and it's a damn shame no one got any awards for it
I was so captivated by all the aspects of filmmaking I didn’t even think it was scary the first time. Truly terrifying tho. What’s more terrifying is that Toni was not nominated for an Oscar.
