New to Netflix on January 15, 2025, Ari Aster’s Hereditary is arguably one of, if not the scariest feature film debut ever recorded. The slow-burning psychological thriller begins as a compelling domestic drama before showing its devious hand as a demonic possession movie steeped in religious ritual. Apart from Toni Collette’s award-worthy performance, the taboo-shattering horror movie is rife with heartstopping and pulse-pounding moments that are impossible to shake off.
