Some films scare me, and then some movies horrify me, and one of those just happens to be Hereditary. For years, I've praised this film as one of the best horror movies out there, and I still fully believe that. I think when it comes to both of Ari Aster's horror films – Hereditary and Midsommar – you really can't get much scarier than that.
However, for some reason, I decided to torture myself one day and rewatch Hereditary. It had been some time since I last saw the film, and since Aster has announced he's working on another horror movie (according to The Big Picture podcast), revisiting the one I enjoyed so much would be a fun experience. Surprisingly, the scene I thought would gross me out and scare me this time around didn't – it was a completely different scene.
