We celebrate April's Director of the Month Ari Aster with his debut feature Hereditary, oft regarded as one of the best horror films of the last decade!
When Ellen, the matriarch of the Graham family, passes away, her daughter's family begins to unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their ancestry. The more they discover, the more they find themselves trying to outrun the sinister fate they seem to have inherited.
With this film, Aster unleashes a nightmare vision of a domestic breakdown that exhibits the craft and precision of a nascent auteur, transforming a familial tragedy into something ominous and deeply disquieting, and pushing the horror genre into chilling new terrain with its shattering portrait of heritage gone to hell.
We are OC’s year-round film festival.
