The Graham family's house overwhelms the keepers' tower.
Who do you think should win?
The Verdict
Hereditary and The Lighthouse are two of the most acclaimed horror films of the past decade, and they come at you from opposite directions. Hereditary sets its nightmare inside an ordinary family home, with a performance from Toni Collette that was so raw horror fans are still mad she was robbed of an Oscar nomination. The Lighthouse is strange on purpose from the start, shot in black and white in a nearly square frame and where the whole cast is simply two men screaming into the weather. But in this matchup, the familiarity of Hereditary means its horror lands harder than the strangeness of The Lighthouse.
