Badd Medicine here and its Hereditary reaction time
Starring Toni Collette, Alex Wolff, Milly Shapiro, Ann Dowd, and Gabriel Byrne, the film, Hereditary delves into the Graham family dynamics-artist Annie, psychiatrist husband Steve, son Peter, and daughter Charlie. Following the mysterious death of Annie's mother, Ellen, the narrative takes a dark twist. A seemingly innocent party ends in tragedy for Charlie, triggering a series of unsettling events. Grieving and confronted by inexplicable occurrences, the family seeks solace through Annie's involvement in a mysterious group with esoteric practices. Annie, in an attempt to break free from supernatural entanglements, explores her family's disturbing history, unveiling Ellen's connections to a secret society venerating the demon king Paimon.
Annie's efforts to sever these unearthly ties lead to catastrophic consequences, as the film unravels a nightmarish tale of possession and ritualistic coronation. The family becomes ensnared in a sinister plot orchestrated by a clandestine assembly with arcane practices. Hereditary masterfully blends psychological horror with occult elements, offering a chilling exploration of generational trauma and the influence of dark forces. The film's shocking denouement leaves audiences haunted by its disturbing imagery and the pervasive sense of an enigmatic organization steering the family's descent into madness.

please watch animal movie it is a blockbustr in india, your video will do well also
This reaction is EVERYTHING I WOULD HOPE IT WOULD BE. Oaks reactions took me out 😂
Hey oak, don't do the clicking sound... apparently that's how they summon the demon in our language that's how u say its name or that's the story I heard. Is it really true though???, think il just not test that theory out !!!! Love u guys, Merry Christmas fyi or Happy Holidays if Christmas not ur thing. Sending yall love cause saw a few haters in the comments. Just ignore them. U guys are great & ur real fans know it!!❤💞❤
This might be my favorite horror movie.
@@jenloveshorror The best explanation of the clicking that I have seen is that Paimon is always depicted riding a camel and the click is the noise a camel driver makes to control the animal.
I thought the depiction of Peter's reaction to Charlie's death was very believable. 'This isn't happening. I'll go home now and go to bed and in the morning everything will be normal again.'
Indeed, I thought the depiction was absolutely spot on, I would have probably acted the same way, just completely blocked it out, didn't exist, go home sleep and everything will be honky dory.
Intense shock
Intense shock while you're high is also WILD@@yvonnesanders4308
The Charlie scene is listening to 4 of your friends getting slaughtered upstairs, seeing a shadowy figure walk down the stairs after the screaming stopped, locking your door and sleeping for six hours.
That's what shock and fear (maybe a little THC or liquor ) can do to you. Maybe not everyone, but definitely some. When I first saw the Charlie scene, I thought it was extremely plausible. In a batshit movie where nothing seems real, that little bit of realism makes the movie that much better.
What people also don’t put together, is that’s also the beginning of his possession, it’s a combination of that and his shock that cause him to behave strangely.
Suggested this to my family for our annual “family horror trip to the movies”. They didn’t let me choose a movie for 2 years afterwards
Lmfao…..it’s a MASTERPIECE my mom hated it too but doesn’t like horror
@@kdizzle901 I don’t think my mom has even forgiven me still to this day lol
@@kdizzle901after seeing it, I told my mom that it's fantastic but it's also the very last movie she should ever watch
Let's go to the movies they said.
It'll be fun they said.
Be glad you didn't get disowned 😅😂
We went for a friend's birthday on a whim. He's not even a big horror guy, just picked a movie we had heard the name of. My wife, who has had a sibling die young, was inconsolable. Incredible movie, but it was not the best viewing experience lol
Okay so this was hilarious to watch you guys. I know its hard to see some things at the end because its dark but you guys missed alot of the plot because it's so subtle. The grandmother was trying to summon Paimon from youth. She's the one who as the mom said "trying to put people into his body" (her uncle or brother or whatever). No one in her family was actually schizophrenic or sick, they were being haunted and seemed crazy because the grandma was trying to put Paimon in their bodies but they all killed themselves or went totally insane.
From what we know the grandmother herself was never the vessel as Paimon prefers males. She went for Charlie because that was a temporary "housing" for him. She pressured the mom to have a son and even tried to take over him as a baby but the mom even says in therapy that she didnt allow it like she did with Charlie. The mom also says in the sleepwalking section that she never wanted him and tried to have a miscarriage. I'm sure Paimon had some hand in stopping it along with the grandmother.
The spirit did get into Charlie (hence the "male" name - Paimon prefers male hosts per the book - the fact that the mom says "she had her hooks in her from the beginning", etc). You can even see in close ups of the picture of the baby bottle feeding of Charlie on the fridge had black herbs in it (just like the tea the mom was given by Joanie). Those herbs are mentioned as a way to make someone open to possession (if you study the occult you know this but it's not stated in the movie). Paimon in the book also had 3 heads attached to his camel and 3 women in the movie lost their heads. Naked people are actually all over the movie in the shadows throughout but it's so subtle you don't see it. That's how they got Charlie's toys and the sons picture, they were in the house alot. That's how the grandmoms body ended up in the attic.
When Joanie says at the end "we corrected your original female body" that was Charlie, not the grandma. Also there is a theory that the reason Charlie was so sick and possibly had ticks and things was because she was incompatible with the demon inside her body as he preferred male hosts. Notice how she cut off the birds head and drew it with a crown? That was Paimon.
The cult put the deer in the road and set up her death to continue to destroy the family literally and emotionally. Also Joanie chanting at the sons school that he needed to be "expelled" and to "get out", she was trying to spiritually force the son's spirit out of his body so that Paimon could enter. More than likely she wasn't literally physically there. Remember in the prior scene she had set up a ritual at her place with him as the focus. That's probably why the other kids didn't hear her. Which of course it eventually happened at the end when you see his spirit leave and the blue light (Paimon) came into his body.
Also yes, I saw this opening night and have probably seen it over a dozen times now. It was insanity in the theater. First movie where I actually jumped a few times (that NEVER happens) and people were screaming left and right and a fair amount of people walked out through the movie.
Finally, it's called Hereditary not only because of the original thought that the theme was inherited mental illness but what was actually the "hereditary" aspect was generational attempts at summoning a king of Hell into a male body. Wild shit.
I've seen Hereditary a couple times and still didn't put some of these things together! Wonderful summary.
@@nicigiusto6124 thanks!
thank you for doing your homework!
I had quite a few gaps in the story I didn't know existed but this REALLY stitched the story together for me, what a wild horror movie script!
Yes this is an excellent explanation to the story it takes a few watches to catch everything own your own and even a couple of videos to help understand everything
Woooow! Your explanation finally did it for me. I’ve watched reactions after seeing this in theatres and missed a lot of what you had explained.
Toni Collette' screams from finding Charlie to the bedroom to the funeral are probably the most harrowing screams I've ever heard in a movie. They chilled me to the bone.
The sense of grief and horror perfectly complement how surreal some of the scenes are.
Alex Wolff killed it. He's so natural. When he starts crying after the "Charlie summon" it's probably how a traumatized high school kid would react. Not trying to act all cool.
Hers and Florence Pugh‘s cries of grief at the beginning of Midsommar! So raw and real.
@@a.j.1819 honestly Florence Pugh did such a great job however Midsommar was disappointing. The beginning was heart-wrenching and dark then the rest of the movie was too bright characters meh and then I didn't like the direction it went. Her scream and Toni Collettes do parallel eachother though. I almost felt their pain
@@Respect2theFallen It's so interesting, cause I feel the exact same way, but the complete opposite; I love Midsommar, and feel really meh about this one. I see it a lot too (people loving one and being blasé about the other).
Alex supposedly had to go to therapy after filming the movie... ;-;
@@Respect2theFallenThink of it as her mind escaping the horror of her reality. Family, friends that want her, it’s beautiful and sunny, and she is protected. It’s meant to feel like the Wizard of Oz, a happy place, with darkness beneath.
The symbolism of Toni Collette's character making miniatures/dolls and the cult using this family like they are playthings/miniatures is truly terrifying and interesting
So true!
I never even thought of that!
@@RoarTheRapper I think that's the intention, or people just reading into it a lot
The kids are studying a Greek tragedy at school which deals with the impossibility of escaping one's fate. Every element of the movie points to the fact that the family are puppets who cannot alter what is happening to them.
@@pollyparrot9447 Wow getting more amazing with every detail I learn!
Did I just stop what I was doing to watch this? Yes absolutely lol Toni Collette is a powerhouse and a master of her craft. This movie is phenomenal
Toni crushed it!
SAME 😂
Me too.. 😂.
The fact that this movie was made feels like a rare gem to be blessed by it. As a horror fan, this movie disturbed me the most.
same. literally paused a movie halfway to watch this. 🤣
Same
Charlie’s death is one of the most horrifying scenes in any movie I’ve seen. The way the scene just lingers on Peter, his absolute shock and disbelief. The unwillingness to accept what’s happened. What he just did. And then the mom’s screams when she finds the body. I cannot comprehend what that would feel like.
Yet these guys don't think it's a "horror" movie... which is ridiculous. I guess beheadings are a normal day occurrence to them. Some people equate jump scares with horror when in fact that's the laziest and easiest thing to have something jump out at the screen. The guy on the right seemed like this type as he was asking "when is something going to happen?" Sadly that's the typical casual movie viewer. The guy on left actually picked up on the unrelenting stress of impending doom which this movie expertly achieves.
The part where it was a static shot in the room where you guys were anticipating a jump scare there actually was a “cool jump scare”, the whole time in that wide shot if you look in the dark corner over the bed, you can see the mom in the dark, present. In the theatre, different people spotted it at different times, so people would scream individually and friends would panic because they don’t see it, it created a very terrifying sense of paranoia for that scene and a memorable theatre moment that I can’t forget.
Lmao I bet people who didn't see it were like "damn, a lot of schizos attending movies tonight, huh?"
Yep! I remember that happening when I saw it in the theater, too. Same thing with when the grandma shows up when the mom turns the light out. It took a second to see her, but when we did everyone just about shit their pants lol
YES same thing happened in my theater. So cool sharing moment like that with a whole theater full of people. Really felt like we were in it together lmao
I just watched this for the first time tonight and when I noticed her I absolutely bricked it, it scared me so bad my eyes watered. Masterclass.
time stamp please
Ok so Oak is right, Paimon was placed in Charlie. The grandmother had been attempting this ritual for decades. The reason why they put him into her and not Peter is explained by a line early on where Annie said she kept Peter away from her mother as a baby, but let her mother help more with Charlie. It's also suggested that the grandmother tried with her own son, who was "schizophrenic" and killed himself. He wasn't schizophrenic, he was possessed by Paimon, who did not yet have full control. This movie's rewatchability is off the charts because of little details like that.
Totally agree on the rewatchability. So many things make sense now like when Annie tried to light Peter on fire, why she didn’t want to have him but her mother pressured her, why she told him she wasn’t trying to kill him but she was instead trying to save him.
I also thought the bird thing was just a way to show this girl was weird the first time I watched it, but now I see it as Charlie knowing what was going to happen to her/possibly Paimon planning how to leave his female body and move into a male body. At the very least it’s some foreshadowing that’s for sure lol.
i saw this movie not long after it came out, and decided to show it to my dad for halloween last year. it was great seeing the dialogue and events in the beginning of the movie with new hindsight. definitely has a lot of replay value.
For sure about the "schizophrenic" son, but I wonder then is the implication that Peter didn't die when he jumped out the window? Cuz Paimon didn't have full control prior to that, so if Annie's brother escaped his fate by dying then I assume Peter would've too had he actually fallen and died.
@@kendalltucker5226 Wow, Annie trying to save her son from something she knew nothing about never crossed my mind. Just pure intuition. I always wondered, if she wasn't unhinged, then what were all those episodes about. I'm glad to still be coming across new things about the movie.
I think she might have tried it on her husband first which is why he starved himself to death. The moral of the story is don’t trust grandma, she’s probably a psycho cultist.
The Oak’s reaction was worth watching alone. The spectrum of facial expressions & human emotions were gold! Love him!
It's so nice to see some Peter love for a change. Almost everyone forgets that there were two people in that traumatic event, but no one is checking on him or even asking him what happened or anything. After the accident with Charlie, it's almost like Peter becomes invisible except when Annie wants to vent her anger. He just gets used and abused for the rest of the movie. I feel so bad for him. Also, Charlie was old enough to be carrying her own epipen - especially to a barbecue. That's another thing mom deserved blame for. That family didn't have a chance.
I was honestly positively surprised when they noticed how overly antagonistic Annie is towards Peter all the time and how neglectful she is towards her daughter.
Literally just had a fight with my sister over this. She was so shocked i was pointing out Annie's faults but they were BLARING. And as the parent??? She was just as responsible for charlie. You don't sic your what? 10-11 year old kid???? On your teenager who's going to a high school party AT NIGHT. It's stupid.
And my sister was so offended.
Sure, peter fucked up. But annie fucked up just as much and has the bigger responsibility of being Charlie AND PETER'S parent.
I think anne is pretty much the only person to “blame” from charlie’s death.
You literally cannot expect your 17 year old son to look after his 12/13 year old sister while he’s at a party with his friends, OBVIOUSLY he’s not gonna pay enough attention.
Besides, what are you even doing sending her to a party of adults/nearly adults?
Even if your son doesn’t drink or smoke there is gonna be plenty of people that do, there is also gonna be plenty of foul language, kissing etc, what is a kid doing there? 💀
And again the fact that they would allow her to leave the house with no epi pen, that’s crazy
I think you are disregarding the fact that Charlie was possessed by Paimon by that point already and that the grandmother was trying to get Paimon into the son. Of course the mother isn't acting rationally or like a normal empathetic mom would. Funnily enough, the movie hints at the most "loving" thing she does is her trying to kill her son before Paimon could possess him.
@@bodo887 That's a good point, although I would still argue that she wasn't officially possessed until after her husband went up in flames. There was definitely some extra stuff happening with her before that though, I do acknowledge lol I just really don't think her anger and disgust are part of an act. That's her and she means it.
Family therapist here. This is my favorite depiction of generational trauma committed to any screen (haunting of hill house number 2). What better way demonstrate the inescapable feeling of generational trauma than from a sacrificial lamb story from the perspective of the lambs. Movie should have won several Oscar’s
I love how the scene where Toni Collette goes to the support group, she describes how the men in her family suffered severe mental illness, but by the end of the film, you realize it wasn't mental illness
oh for sure, the things they experienced would get them written off as insane, especially in the 60s-90s
She also claims her mother had multiple personality disorder, which was most likely her being possessed by different spirits like Annie was during the séance.
I could not click on this reaction fast enough! Toni Collette not receiving an Oscar nomination (or win for that matter) for her performance was an absolute abomination!
Toni was phenomenal in this
The Oscars never reward horror movies but it’s their lost honestly…
@@vtetrooo1312Truth!
Oooh..they gotta react to X and Pearl after this 🔥
1000%. Toni is sooooo f’n good
Oak's reaction to Annie slamming her head on the attic door is too good 😂
😂
I was really worried Oak was going to write this off because of how uncomfortable it is but to see him appreciate the story and the characters and the details and how masterfully well done this movie is was sooo refreshing! I'm so glad you guys could appreciate this movie! Its one of my favorite films.
Okay so there are multiple times in this movie where you guys missed silhouettes of people in the corners of dark rooms. This movie was meant to be watched in the dark. It’s horrifying
I think every horror movie should be watched in the dark. I can't take seriously a horror movie reaction when reactionists (is it a word?) pretend to enjoy them while ten light sources are burning their eyes out in a room so light they probably barely see anything from the movie. Like I really like horror movies, but I don't think I could truly get scared by them during the day, or in a fully lit room. I don't care about how you look in the video with your perfect lighting, I want creators to give the best chance to the horror movie and watch it in the dark as they should.
Thank you, i was looking for this comment, i adore these guys, but sometimes they talk to much and don’t pay attention to details. 😂
Yeah one reason being a reactor sucks is that they need to be in super-well lit rooms to look good on camera but I'm sure it absolutely butchers the viewing experience
@@TheJerbol Some reactors do it right. Ashleigh Burton often watches horror movies in the dark and records in night vision. I wish more reactors did the same.
@@ragtimeraver she's great and those reactions are some of her best! I absolutely love her personality it's so fun to watch with
Toni Collette should have at least been nominated for an Oscar for this role. She was my favorite performance of that year.
Toni Collete did that “I am your mother” scene with no rehearsal beforehand and i think that’s so amazing
The biggest thing that I missed the first time watching was that in the grandmother's Invocations book Paimon is pictured carrying 3 severed heads...and the cult took the heads Ellen, Annie and Charlie for the summoning. The entire family was always doomed to be sacrificed for decades. One of the best horror movies I've ever seen.
Your guy's reactions were GOLD!
That dinner scene? Toni Collette deserved a freakin' Academy Award. I was so engrossed that *I* felt guilty about things I hadn't even done! Not that it was ever in question that she could act, which she obviously can, but this performance was utterly devastating on so many levels.
gave me ptsd of my mom yelling at me growing up...she sometimes was drunk and overly harsh
@@DeRockMediasorry you had to go through that mate
@@DeRockMedia ❤
@cristianaragon292 it's alright, angry women just frighten me, I don't give af if a guy does though lol
Ngl i love when yall react to horror movies bc seeing 3 buff grown men be just as terrified as i was is so comforting
the "corrected your form to a male one" thing indicated that Charlie was the host until that point. Annie didn't let Grandma close to Peter, but Grandma had full access to Charlie and used it to get Paimon in her, where he was mostly dormant (except when beheading birds)
I think the tongue clicking was paimon coming through in charlie’s body
@@sarads7877 I've heard people compare the Clicking to a Cluck from a bird or Chicken. Because Paymon is often depicted as in bird form (I heard from another channel) so the clicking and beheading birds with crowns fit that.
I saw this in an empty theater at night and the pure shock and loss of logical thinking of the brother after THAT scene was the hardest part to watch. The brothers traumatic disassociation followed by the moms screams and cries the next morning were more disturbing to me than any of the creepy stuff following and I remember going from yelling out "oh no oh no oh no" to bawling my eyes out because the different emotional responses are so visceral and acted in such earnest ways. The dad trying to be the emotional anchor to try and make space for the brother and mom's various coping mechanisms was so hard to watch! making it through this movie is definitely a full body experience !
charlies death was def memorable and then ari aster follows it up with one of the most horrifying movie openings with Dani's sisters murder suicide in midsommar lol ari is a masterclass in horror
Hereditary is one of the best films I've ever watched but will forever haunt me. The headless kid and the possession at the end truly terrified me. I barely slept for days.
Seriously one of the best horror movies Ive seen! Toni is incredible and the sound design and editing are masterful in this! I was so paranoid i was gonna hear that click sound out of nowhere and have a total freakout after watching this movie 😂
"didn't expect mom on the ceiling sawing her head off"
What a line to say 😂😂
Followed shortly by this next beauty
"why are there a bunch of naked old people in the attic?"
Lol you guys have the best reactions man 😂😘
I literally laughed out loud when he said that!
One of my favorite details is Steve catching on fire instead of Annie like she thought would happen. Gets at the theme articulated in one of Peter's classes about characters not having a choice. Annie tries to make a choice to save her family, but she doesn't actually have the power to make that choice. All the events have been preorchestrated, and she doesn't have any control over any of it. Paimon shows her that cruel truth and it finally breaks her enough to be possessed.
one of my favourite aspects of this movie is that charlie was NEVER…. charlie. from the day she was born she was paimon, which is why the grandma was so “close” the charlie and acted like she was her daughter. because she wasnt charlie, she was paimon the entire time- which is then why paimon in peters body at the end answers to “charlie”
King Paimon has a nut allergy lmao
@@uggggggghhhhh His vessel/female host did have an allergy yes haha
I don’t think she was always paimon, I think the possession took hold early in her life when her grandmother took charge of her care. But because paimon was in a girls body which he didn’t like, he was confused and acted neurodivergent.
Did I change my plans to make sure I had time to watch this right now? Absolutely I did 😂 been waiting for this one!
Hope you enjoy 🤜🤛
Ahahha me too 😂
Love The Oak's self-awareness and adjusting to the film as the writers intend. Too many reactors start getting a big head about what they want versus what artists are giving and end up thinking they, the reactor, know better than writers.
Yes!! I was thinking about this watching another chanel. I feel reactions should be like this, 1 or more people just watching a movie. Watching and reacting, not analyze from the very beginning and criticize just to criticize 😂
1. The bird crashing the window symbolizes the car crashing. Charlie cutting off the bird's head is a premonition of her own demise. Early in the film, Charlie draws a picture of her grandmother with her head cut off. This is a clear foreshadowing of the decapitation theme that becomes significant later in the story.
2. Annie trying to kill her son unconsciously is an act of love. Her subconscious mind is aware of what is happening and it doesn't want her son to be part of the cult ritual.
This is actually my favorite horror movie. The slow-moving dread isn’t for everybody but I loved how Hereditary didn’t rely on cheap jump scares to be scary. Instead it is lovingly detailed in how utterly disturbing and upsetting it is. I love it as an art piece but my big Marine nephew tapped out after Charlie got her block knocked. Seeing things like that happen to kids is a lot of people’s final straw. The fact that Toni Collette wasn’t recognized with an award for her role is an insult to cinema-having seen for myself my mother react to learning my sister had died, Toni’s performance as a grieving mother was incredibly accurate and heart wrenching. Her monologue alone at the dinner table was award-worthy but her complete performance was something to behold. The fact that horror movies like this one are now and have been historically excluded just goes to show that film award committees are full of crap. They don’t care about film as an art, just whatever film can cram the most A-listers into the cast.
YES to literally everything you said. I don't even watch award shows anymore cause they just cont to ignore so many amazing performances that I found instead of joy watching them just outright disgust of their snobbery & ignorance for lack of a better word. Until the day they actually add horror & sci-fi to the list, they do the cinema world a gross injustice. It's like they think only drama & comedy are the only genres of film that matter. Who even picked those 2 categories & held them up at this high standard. Yuck, just my opinion 😊❤
100% accurate. Toni Collette was AMAZING! This is one of the best horror pieces of art that's both respectful of the material and it had shocking parts for sure but it wasn't a movie meant to just rely on shocks. It deserves all the awards.
I completely agree 💕
lmao what. this is exactly cheap scare tactics. the clicking, the wall/bg lurkers, the isolation jump scares....🙄🙄🙄
@@RonLarhz There's literally only one jump scare in the movie and it's when Annie runs at Peter after she'd been on the ceiling. A loud noise accompanied by a disturbing visual is what a jump scare is. The clicking is never accompanied by a visual. The clicking is literally part of the story used to establish a paranormal presence WITHOUT over-the-top visuals being necessary. As for the spooky visuals like Annie on the wall or her mother standing in the dark, which are not accompanied by noise or jump scares, what... do you think a horror movie is? Should spooky things not happen in a horror movie?
23:33 “Is this where the movie really kicks off?”
Why no, sir.
In fact, I was there just a few minutes ago when the gentlemen on your right and left were covering their faces and you sat there with your mouth gaping open.
This movie officially “kicks off” with the peanut allergy.
So I haven’t seen anyone clarify it yet so I’ll just put it here in case, but Paimon was never possessing the grandmother, she put Paimon into Charlie as a baby, that’s why she never let Annie take care of Charlie, she was making sure that Charlie was being properly groomed for Paimon, except the fact she was a female. That’s why at the end they say they corrected Paimon’s first female body, by killing Charlie (if you go back and look, you’ll see the necklace symbol on the phone pole) they set Paimon free to take over Peter via their rituals, which is why his photo showed up in Joanie’s place and the attic
Paimon was literally in the grandmother. It wasn't until after the grandmother was dug up that Paimon inhabited Charlie, right before she went to the party and died
Oak: "I wouldn't really call this a horror movie"
Also Oak: 43:09
😂
I really like that movie, it is so special in its genre. At the beginning, you see many members of the cult at the funeral, like the guy in the corner creepily smiling, so many hints like the mother who was talking about her brother, who said that Granny was trying to put other people inside him.... he was the first victim. And Charlie was never just a girl, just the demon from the very beginning who was waiting for a male body.
I love that every time Oak tries to give himself an out… it _almost_ happens 😆😆
I remember the "telephone pole" scene happening in the theater. Kt was so unexpected that multiple people dropped their popcorn/food. The popcorn even fell out of my mouth.
One of my favorite horror films made in my lifetime. Even if it didnt have the horror element, it would be a freat family drama. Toni Collette got robbed of an Oscar nomination!
This movie was a genius watching in theater. I remember someone said back then that the "grandma jumpscare scene" was only visible on the upper/middle seats, and the people on the lower seats were wondering why are they screaming. 😂
I had the exact same reaction as Oak when Annie was banging her head on the ceiling. Full body chills in terror!
My best friend showed me this movie when I was depressed after I left an abusive relationship and I gotta say - this movie definitely took my mind off of it 😅
Damn!!!! Your friend is ruthless 😂
@@vtetrooo1312that’s why she’s a bestie! 😂
Me too dude holy fuck. Very rarely i get scared by horror movies but i was creeped to my core in this scene...
“when Vin Diesel jumps off his charger and lands on another car” 😂😂😂 Oak is everything. i felt everything you felt, my guy. this one is rough.
Love Oak's reaction to the head banging, its simple but so good at being creepy and unnatural
I am still pissed off that Toni didn't win all of the frickin awards for this ironically beautiful performance 🤬
I saw this movie in theaters, and the silence that spread over everyone after the pole scene was wild. Figured Oak would have a rough time with this one.
Exactly... Everyone was looking at each other with mouths open and then gasped when they showed her head.
Happened again with the mom banging her head on the attic door...
I am so jealous, I had a trusted horror buddy tell me the movie was crap and not to bother, I finally got around to seeing it and was so pissed I missed out on seeing it in the theater. I no longer give a shit what people say and I go see what I want lol
@@toad6461Same, if I wanna see something, I’m gonna see it regardless of what I hear.
@johnyd1911 idk why but the mom banging her head made me laugh
Best horror movie since Sinister! Didn't rely on jumpscares like 90 percent of horror movies made today. Thanks for the epic reactions guys!
Also you guys should definitely watch Sinister btw
Yessss LOVE sinister too. A horror with Ethan hawke and Toni would be incredible
Horror movies are the best they have ever been. I know, complaining how horror movies are all jump scares is popular, but there rarely is any evidence backing it up at least since 2010.
best dog pile for psyop'd sheeple.
Sinister scared the ever-loving shit out of me hahaha
i hate when people say this movie isn't horror as if it's not horrifying
For what it’s worth Oak, I really enjoyed your reaction here. All three of y’all were enveloped with the story and it was awesome to watch
I saw this one in theaters, and the majority of the theater sat there in stunned silence for about five minutes afterwards. I've shown it to friends and each successive rewatch, I got more and more out of it. I love this movie.
This is easily one of my favorite movies to watch people react to
AAAAHHHHHHHHH so excited! If you ever want more info, a TH-camr named Novum made a 4+ hour video explaining all the cult stuff and it’s absolutely insane how much Ari Aster put into this film!
Highly recommend that video. It’s sooooo good!
LOVE THAT VIDEO SO MUCH
Agreed! I didn’t like Hereditary the first time I saw it because I thought it was too slow and pretentious (I didn’t get it). However, after watching Novum’s video, I’ve been able to rewatch the film several times with “new eyes” and appreciate the brilliance of Ari’s work and the cast’s performances. I now love Hereditary and get excited anytime I see someone reacting to it.
Thank you ever so much for recommending that! I watched another one but it was only a 40 minute video...4+ hours? Praise Paimen!!
“This kid needs to smoke some more weed” had me dyingggg 😂
Actually Paimon was in Charlie, not the grandmother. That is why she was so obsessed with her and at the end Joan called Peter Charlie first before referring to him as Paimon. This is also why the weird guy at the funeral was smiling at her, he was in the Paimon cult as well (he was also the naked dude in the house towards the climax that I believe you missed) and why that lady that you thought was the grandmother was waving at Charlie....she was also one of the naked ones in the attic that Peter saw.
as someone who would get sleep hallucinations seeing the ants scene was so real. I either see ants, spiders, or gnats, and ill nearly suffocate myself under my blankets trying to make sure they don't get into my mouth. It's like a weird thing between sleepwalking and sleep paralysis. I'm glad they showed this so I could show others what it looks like for me.
My mom suffers from that too. So scary. I always felt so bad for her cause in her mind it would be so real. I wonder how common that is cause we always thought it had something to do w her meds, like maybe a side effect when they were adjusting diff types of psych meds. But she's older now & no med changes & she will still get them. She will call me since I don't live w her now & be so freaked out. Il still go over & check the bed & the room just to be on the safe side & it eases her mind. I'm glad u shared cause I feel like I need to make sure she tells her Dr. Maybe there's some sort of therapy for it cause she gets very scared w some of them & it will take me hours to get her eased down. Thx❤
Is there a name for that or what?
@@Respect2theFallen Hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations although a sleep study confirms the diagnosis and can help you find out if it's linked to narcolepsy or mood disorders. Could also be linked to Parkinson's but that's only if you are older.
@Respect2theFallen I'm sure there's a much more accurate medical diagnosis, but when my mother gets asked by her Dr he often just asks her how has your sleep hallucinations. How many can she recall & what all can she recall, etc.. All I know is she will call me screaming sometimes at 4am cause it's so real for her & either myself or one of my older kids will run and check on her cause we never wanna just dismiss her. And the scary part is once we've calmed her, she realizes none of it was real but that fear that gripped her was real enough for all of us. The human psyche is so profound.
Same here!!! As creepy as it was it was also cool to see something resemble what I experience in my hallucinations so well, so i could show my family what its like! Even the way the mom was flying around felt familiar from my hallucinations, i see things flying around the room that arent supposed to be able to fly like that
Fun fact, the *clicking* sound they'd make is how you'd pronounce the demons name in our tongue, and the movie serves as a channel by watching, so that if you'd been doing it out of curiosity, the sound, you've been sort of summoning the demon to you :D. The movie is really well researched about demonology and ancient rituals.
Are you serious!?!?!? 😮 Ok that’s freaking terrifying and amazing at the same time lol
Wow!!! I hadn't heard about that. Thanks for the info & also lil bit terrifying 😮
Fun, so I have been summoning this demon since I was a child. Been tongue clicking since I was tiny
That is absolutely not true 😂
I mean, unless you wanna tell the class that all the people on the African continent that speak with click consonants are actually demon-summoners. You really wanna go there? Spread that kind of 1800's racism, that they're all demon-worshipers?
I dont think you know what fact means😭💀💀
Just dropping in to say I love having Diamond Dave in reactions! Always appreciate his insight to the filmography and acting
🤜🤛
The telephone pole scene was one of the most shocking scenes I have ever seen in a movie. Not due to content but due to the fact that the trailers gave you EVERY indication that Charlie was going to be throughout the movie. They edited down her funeral scene to just seem like it was a part of the grandmother's, if you watch the trailer you'll notice Charlie's not there. So imagine my surprise when she gets her whole block knocked off!! I was stunned, shocked, and honestly in awe of Ari Astor's direction.
Getting to see your first time reaction to something that changed my taste in horror was such a treat!
This is one of the best horror movies I’ve ever seen. When you watch it a second and even third time, there’s gonna be more stuff it’ll stand out to you. Personally, I was so horrified by the scene with the sister and the telephone pole that pretty much any time I heard someone click their tongue I nearly shit myself. 😭
Toni Collette should have been recognized for this performance, especially with an Oscar nod. Unfortunately the Academy, historically, has a rather dim view on the horror genre. I think this is unfortunate and non-sensical. Just contemplate what this lady is able to do with her face, alone. She has one of the most expressive faces in the business. I have never seen such expressions of rage or terror in my entire life on the face of another human being. Her face might as well be made from clay, because she can contort it into the most unusual and extreme expressions. The things she can do with her voice are equally as impressive. The scream upon discovering her child's body was primal. Her performance was disturbing and painful, and perhaps it was too extreme for some folks, but I think they are missing the point. It's disturbing, but it's effective! Regardless, I think this performance is a certifiable banger and will be regarded as iconic for the genre for many years to come.
YES!!!!❤❤ Very well said, my friend!!!😊
I was lucky enough to see this in theaters. The entire theater was dead silent. Even as people left, they weren't talking about the movie, just walking in silence to their cars. My friend and I rode home in complete silence. It was unlike anything I had ever seen. It uses unease to weaken your base, then trauma to debase you. And then, when you're lost and alone, it finally comes for your head.
EDIT: AND THAT DINNER TABLE SCENE. I felt like _I_ was the one being yelled at. I still sink in my seat when it happens.
This was definitely an experience in theatres. Everyone was pretty traumatized and when the credits rolled it was like a stunned silence 😂 made me queasy too
My husband and I saw this in the theater and had no clue what it was about or what the premise was. They barely did any promo on it, so when the car scene happened, everyone was so shocked😭 you could hear the gasps and everything, it was probably the best theater experience ever!!!
I feel slightly disappointed that at no point in this movie, does anyone ask;
Annie, are you okay? Are you okay Annie?
wow....just....*slow clap*
😂
she was struck by a smooth criminal
Annie are you ok? Will you tell us are you ok?
Theres a sign in the window, that he struck you a crescendo, ANNIE!
I laughed too hard at this while brushing my teeth. Damn I wish they snuck that joke in there. I think I thought of it once or twice while watching the movie before the Charlie incident but that shit disarmed my humor until she was on the artic door banging her head then I laughed again.
Hereditary is absolutely brilliant. Even before the more overt horror starts to happen, the grief and agony portrayed by Toni Collette's character instills such a feeling of dread that carries the tension throughout the whole movie. Her screams when she discovers Charlie's body made me more viscerally upset and uncomfortable in a way a lot of explicitly scary/gorey/shock horror movies haven't come CLOSE to doing.
Oak, I appreciate what you're saying about paranormal movies. Because I felt the same. I personally dont believe in paranormal/spiritual stuff, so it sometimes brings me out of the movie experience.
But once I started really getting into writing, and movie analysis (story analysis), paranormal as a genre became SO much better.
Remember what you said about the Harry Potter movies? The lessons in them were so so good. All the messages JK Rowling and the directors were meaning to relay... they are in the paranormal movies too.
Horror comments on the human experience, fear, society expectations, abandonment, loneliness, those deep horrible emotions, and thats why we get terrified.
Its about the message. Not the religious, mythological or otherside stuff.
Hereditary is about intergenerational trauma, abusive parents and how that abuse is carried on (a narcissistic mother who abused and neglected a daughter, only to obsessively dote on the grandchildren and how that fucks up the mother even more).
Theres so much underneath the paranormal stuff that terrifys me more.
Lol my grandfather used to tell me that just because we don't believe in them doesn't mean that energy doesn't linger - used to creep me out. 😂
I saw this at the cinema, and the amount of times I almost shat myself... Also, I've just noticed - Hereditary: a king is crowned, and Midsommar: a queen is crowned. I have to wonder what's next!
Beau Is Afraid: A...I don't even know.
Beau Is Afraid: a giant penis king is crowned.
I saw this movie in theatre front row, and trust me when I say that this was one of the most terrifying movie experiences I have been through, literally glued to my seat for the whole two hours. The car scene was a whole experience itself, you could almost feel the air get sucked out of the room it was intense AF. Amazing reaction and keep it up!
I watched this alone in my bedroom and I was in absolute stunned silence. My husband came to check on me cause I gasped so loud and I couldn’t even speak to him for like 5 minutes.
Not sure if you guys figured this out but the "Uncle" wasn't schizophrenic - he was driven mad by their mother and their mother's friends.
This channel is the best when it comes to reactions! It really feels like you're watching it with them, and they don't pause or interrupt the video when watching!
16:14 poor Oak, this is not the movie for you if this isn’t your type of movie. I hope you watched plenty of chill things after, preferably drinking cocoa or something.
I like the little details you pick up in the movie if you watch it again like the story about her brother saying their mom tried to put people inside him I completely missed lil stuff like that on the first watch
Oak's reactions had my dying throughout the whole movie especially the head banging scene lol
I think a fun year-end video for the channel could be a compilation of the first rfew seconds immediately after a movie/show ends. Sometimes that immediate reaction, or silence like here LOL, is so great
YES!!! LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!!!!❤❤❤ Toni Collette is a master class of acting in this movie!!! Theres only a handful of ppl that can be in that group & shes at the top!!❤
This film is absolutely AMAZING. Every time you watch, you notice something new. For example, the moment when she drop ink on the desk and sees the telephone number, well... She didnt touch the ink.
The whole set piece from the telephone pole to when Toni Collette finds Charlie in the car to transitioning to the funeral is SUPERB. How it's shot, what Aster chooses to show us and not show us, to how the transitions are and how we hold on Peter. It's insane genius filmmaking.
That lamppost scene was horrifying... I still remember seeing it for the first time. It is one of those things that is etched into my mind forever.
My dad and I saw this in the theater back in 2018, totally blind. THAT scene made the whole theater go silent, I’d never seen a simultaneous shocked reaction like that before.
Gotta admit, I was a little surprised to see this one on the channel! I was even more surprised to see Oak in it as I know horror is not exactly his favorite. This one is really rough so I actually hope he's doing okay lol. I definitely wish I could have had a warning before seeing it, and I wish he could've had that kind of warning too. I 100% see what Diamond Dave was saying with keeping stuff in, and Quinn's continuation of "does it further the story?" is exactly right. This kind of insane gore and body horror has its place, and that place is not in everything in the "horror" genre.
I don't think I've seen anyone else talk about it in the comments here, but one of the biggest factors this movie showed and covered was obviously generational mental illness. Starting obviously with the grandparents and the mom's brother, then going down to the mother, and then to Charlie and (more so) Peter. The main point was that they were never going to be able to escape it, whether it was all really a demon or actually just hereditary mental illness(es). The unfathomable grief was the trigger event for both the mom and for Peter that opened the door for those mental illnesses (paranoia and most likely (paranoid) schizophrenia in the mom and then major paranoia, depression, and PTSD for Peter), and that insane grief mixed with their family history, there was no escaping that development. It's such an insane take on mental illness and it really gets you questioning what's real and what's in the mom's head, as well as what could be in Peter's head. The cinematography and the soundtrack are unbelievable, and the acting from every single character (but especially the mom and Peter)...holy shit man. I really don't know how they didn't both win awards for these roles. As someone who has personal experience with generational mental illnesses from both parents' sides as well as PTSD-educing trauma, behind all of the gore and gruesomeness, it's actually really well represented and showcased in the writing and directing, and the acting is just beyond. Peter really stood out to me a lot, I really think his portrayal of the trauma and shock and paranoia was, in my experience and opinion, perfectly done.
I think Oak said it best; "Is it a good movie? Yes, it's incredible. Is it a 'good' movie? No, it's awful!" along with "I don't know how to feel about it." and talking about the mixture of the acting and everything. That is the best possible way to describe Hereditary, and I think that is exactly what they were going for!
The "tea leaf" that was in Annie's tea was Ditany of Crete...an herb which is supposed to make someone vulnerable to possession.
Oak’s reaction was a perfect early Christmas gift 🎁 😂
If all movies should just be rated on how well they leave a “good” feeling behind they would become pretty monotone. But like any great piece of art it makes you feel something you never felt before and you will still think about it later and it leaves you transformed … that is some pretty amazing piece of art. That is the purpose of art some might say.
I love that!! Very well said❤
Toni Collette deserved an Oscar for that performance.
Yes! She is a great actress.
I love this movie! Favorite scenes and things about this movie:
1. The dream sequence between Annie and Peter. The things she says that you know are true, deep down inside, and the paint thinner. I held my breath.
2. All the mental illnesses seem hereditary, but it aren't
3. All of the hidden details, such as one of Peter's friends being part of the cult, I believe other members of the cult are at Annie's support group, Annie hiding in the corner of the ceiling. If you listen very carefully, when the family gets home from the funeral, if you listen carefully, you can hear cult member footsteps from upstairs before the family walks through the front door.
4. Charlie's accident took my breath away. I was so shocked and even more shocked when the director cut to Charlie's head and held on to that shot for 30 seconds give or take.
5. Annie banging her head against the attic door.
When I left the theater, I didn't realize how much or how long I was holding my breath. I left breathing very heavily. That has only happened two other times: "The Dark Knight" and "Don't Breathe".
This is one movie which has stuck in my mind more than any other. The acting by Toni Collette is astounding and the story is so creepy and engaging, and that's what sets it apart.
44:17 "I don't know how he survives it". That's the neat thing: he doesn't!
I saw this in the theatre, knowing nearly nothing about it. WHAT A RIDE. i wished they ended it when Peter jumped - the last few mins kind of ruined it on the 1st watch, but now I get it. this has been hysterical watching you guys watch it for the 1st time. thank you Oak for doing this for our entertainment. we appreciate it.
I actually had to sleep with the lights on after I watched this movie in the theater. I remember there was audible gasps from the audience during the same scenes that you guys had such visceral reactions to.
As soon as i saw the notification for this my first thought was: "ohhhh boy"
@40:20 Oak said "yeah..the cool jumpscare is when Vin diesel jumps from his charger and lands on another car".. 😂 bro what?!😂
I saw this in the theater *SUPER CRAZY* experience!
But it was actually Asters last movie "Beau is Afraid" which made me physical sick even though it was not a Horror movie like this one or Midsommar.
Edit: The director actually uses unnerving sounds in his movies that make you feel anxious.
Even the horns are bells at the end in the treehouse are supposed to be an interpretation of King Paimon’s music that you will hear as he approaches (Peter)
HOLY HELL, do I love you guys ♡ I just now found y'all this week at work and to see this reaction video come out, I IMMEDIATELY KNEW I had to watch on my downtime because Herediatary is TRULY one of my all time fav horror movies, like this is one of the top 5 movies I wish I could watch for the first time again. Seeing people's first reactions to it (and seeing the complete confusion for those who don't put it together at first) make me miss that initial watch at the theater, for some reason.
This movie was absolutely intended for multiple watches since there's so many small details that'll make film lovers appreciate it more. I think why I love this move so much is because there's a lot of classic horror ideologies, but this puts a whole more messed up twist with it, just like Oak felt in his gut for most of the viewing, which I can relate to and love.
I've been binging y'alls vids (like The Menu and Hunger Games series) and I'm making it look like I'm listening to podcasts while I'm working, but I just HAD to see the real face reactions to the highlights of this film. Ari Aster is a gd GENIUS and y'alls initial reactions/reviews of the movie really made me smile as if I were Ari himself hahah I can't wait to see what else you guys are gonna see next ♡
This movie is crazy. The way he came home and went straight to bed after that accident😥 i will never get over of that scene.
I'm with Oak on this one. I was so queasy watching this film. Great performance by Toni Collette! I'm glad I watched it but never again...except to see your reactions...LOL!
I agree, I never want to watch this again. Great performances and everything but once was enough.
@@lw5110 me with Midsommar. The entire Christian scene felt rape-ish to me, I never wanna watch that movie ever again.
The Family Grief hooked me. All of the raw reactions to Charlie’s death are gut wrenching to watch. Toni Collette’s wailing on the bedroom floor is palpable. And Alex Wolfs fugue after the accident is so relatable. And Gabrielle Burn trying to be the tent post by holding it all together with cobwebs. Brilliant performances. Brilliant directorial choices. Also, Creepy AF!!!
"Dude, I'm like frozen!" So was everyone at the theater. A massive gasp then dead silence cause of the shock. NO ONE saw that death coming. The acting in this film is PHENOMINAL and Toni was totally snubbed an Oscar nomination.
This film and Ari Aster's second film Midsommar have very good representations of realistic grief from their actors.
And yeah, this movie is a GOOD movie, but a horrible one at the same time. I think it's good cause it's so well written and all the details are there visually and verbally.
You guys HAVE to watch a “movie explained” video about this! There’s so much in that movie it’s crazy!
That movie stays with you for days after (well for me at least!). The actors did a phenomenal job!
Sorry for you guys, you looked in pain 😂
This is one of the movies that still haunts my subconscious.
43:10 I've never seen a grown man so scared before lmfao
The classroom scene when the teacher asks about the Greek mythology story if it is more tragic if you have a choice or it's fate (no choice) is a key point. The dollhouse characters had no choice where they were placed is a central motif throughout the movie.. And of course the name of the move "Hereditary" means you had no choice of the inflictions you inherit. and have to endure.
This
Nobody ever talks about this aspect!
