PARC AT MIDNIGHT: NEW CLASSICS
Following the death of her mother and family patriarch, Annie Graham (Toni Collette) attempts to quell her grief and continue on with her life. She starts to notice strange occurrences following her family, mostly concentrated on her 13-year old daughter Charlie (Milly Shapiro), who Annie says was her mother’s favorite. Charlie is a brooding and deeply disturbed teenager whose behavior begins to concern her family, including father Steve (Gabriel Byrne) and brother Peter (Alex Wolff). As ancestral secrets about the family begin to emerge, Annie must attempt to uncover the truth and overcome the spirits that threaten their safety.
“Director Ari Aster, who wrote the screenplay for this film, does a tremendous job keeping the moving parts together. Even when the film seems to veer off course, the resultant events flow naturally into each other, creating a surprisingly fluid and compelling narrative framework. Modern horror, once removed from the sensationalistic scares of the Paranormal Activity and Conjuring films, has been in a renaissance period for a few years now. Hereditary continues the reformation of the genre as part of a collection of artistically resonant and chillingly adroit pictures that take their influence from the greatest films the genre has ever offered and then forges their own inventive paths."
