It mirrors aspects of Rosemary's Baby almost to a fault.- arguably the most known movie about a cult/coven raising hell so to speak. It doesn't get more standard than that.

Which is not from A24. Proof they have a Feige reading the scripts. And a Formula. I could be mistaken but I thought Hereditary was just distributed by A24 but not produced by A24. As in, A24 caught it at festivals and then scooped up the distribution rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know moonlight was the first one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Futurist's use of "Joes & Janes" (will someone please think of the Joes & Janes?!!) is getting a Pavlovian laugh out of me at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goffe Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Futurist's delusion is amusing tbh. He's more bearable than the #brand bots we have here when he's not being too much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a mindtrick nonetheless. LOL 1 hour ago, The Futurist said: I actually liked a lot of things in Hereditary but the director s choices in A24 movies (the horror type ones) to alienate the Joes & Janes of the world are just way too obvious to be genuine and sincere. They try so hard to be "different". Hereditary misses to achieve true greatness because of that typical mindset. The Witch had the exact same issue. Those two movies are really twins in many mnay ways. It Comes At Night was just hot trash. Didn’t you like “mother!” ?? 😂 talk about alienating audiences. (I thought mother was ok, pretentious as hell and aimed at cinephiles, but ok). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now THAT is a travesty and a crime against cinema, and I bet Futurist thinks it's a masterpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It s even easier when films are finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's better than Collette's imo. Baumer I think we are living in different universes. Chastain basically copied her performance from Miss Sloane. It was a mediocre showy performance of "I am confident and I talk loud" Edited June 24, 2018 by norbar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hereditary director wish he had the lightbulb moment of John Krasinski for A Quiet Place. And John Krasinski wish he had a seconde one just as good for his next film. If you're a simple person the only ideas you will appreciate are the simple ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaze Heatnix Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I've just watched this movie ( I was curious, so I gave it a try ). Pretty much fucked up, if you ask me. I got Fant4stic vibes and Suicide Squad vibes after seeing it. Movie starts as a drama ( a very good one, mind you ) and then turns into something it wasn't meant to be, during its third act. Yes, a ton of people were laughing during the last act. The movie really lost its way there. I would like to see something like the first 2 acts. Third act is hilarious. It was a mess and tried to be a lot of things at the same time. I would give a 7/10 for 65% of the movie and a 2,5/10 for the last act. It was really that bad or hilarious.

Damianport1 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Watched it few days ago and it's a near-masterpiece. Rosemary's Baby level stuff. The performances are astonishing. It feels like you watch real family tragedy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
