Come see Hereditary presented with stunning 4K laser projection on the big screen in L3!

Hereditary is a very patient film that trusts the viewer to engage in the setup rather than throwing jump scares at you every five seconds to make sure you’re engaged. Through the incredible performances from standouts Toni Collette (Annie) and Alex Wolff (Peter), you’re forced to sit through the uncomfortable atmosphere of the family’s tragedy, and it also makes you feel that much more scared for them when things go wrong. 

The film follows the Graham family in the wake of a devastating loss, as long-buried secrets and generational trauma begin to surface in unexpected and terrifying ways. Ari Aster uses miniature dioramas, unsettling sound design, and framing that makes every scene indoors feel like something is terribly wrong. 

When the final act releases the tension built up through the whole film, the horror feels earned and there are few better ways to describe it than to just say “it is genuinely terrifying and relentless”. While it’s one thing to watch a horror movie alone, feeling an entire room of people around you hold their breath in fear really sells the atmosphere. [Lucas Tricarico]
