EditHereditary (2018)

Alle familier har en hemmelighed! Da Graham familiens matriark, Ellen, går bort, opdager hendes datters familie flere mystiske og skræmmende hemmeligheder om deres ophav. I takt med at hemmelighederne afsløres, finder familien sig på flugt fra en uhyrlig skæbne, de synes at have arvet. En skæbne der langsomt ødelægger alt, de kender til. Den spillefilmsdebuterende instruktør Ari Aster har med HEREDITARY skabt et sandt familiemareridt, hvor en families tragedie omdannes til en ildevarslende og dybt foruroligende historie om ondskab. Samtidigt føres horrorgenren nye spændende steder hen med filmens rystende portræt af familie og arv.

Every family has its dark times during which all the members go through unbearable pain and suffering. This time comes for the Graham family with the death of grandmother Ellen who has been known for her difficult, even nasty personality. Shortly after the funeral, her daughter, Annie (Toni Collette) starts experiencing events that are, mildly said, unnatural. The focus of a sinister, terrifying force is Charlie, the granddaughter. The teenager falls in the hands of evil powers that demand a servant to obey them and to continue the family ‘tradition’. With her loved ones under demonic threat, Annie has to reveal the wicked secrets of her mother and save her children from а devastating fate.
