What happens
Hereditary is a 2018 American supernatural psychological horror film written and directed by Ari Aster in his feature directorial debut. Starring Toni Collette, Alex Wolff, Milly Shapiro, Ann Dowd, and Gabriel Byrne, the film follows Annie Graham (Collette), a grieving miniature artist who uncovers disturbing secrets about her recently deceased mother. She is subsequently tormented by sinister paranormal occurrences, along with her husband Steve (Byrne) and their children, Peter (Wolff) and Charlie (Shapiro). Aster's work on short horror films, most notably The Strange Thing About the Johnsons, attracted the attention of A24, who greenlit Hereditary as his first feature film. Aster conceived it as primarily a family drama consisting of two distinct halves. Principal photography commenced in Salt Lake City in February 2017, with most of the indoor scenes shot on custom built sets on a soundstage to give the film a dollhouse aesthetic. Hereditary premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 21, 2018, and was theatrically released in the United States on June 8. The film received critical acclaim, with particular praise for Collette's performance, and was a commercial success, grossing $90 million against its $10 million production budget.
