Hereditary currently dominates The Witch 70–30
Aster's devastating certainty edges Eggers' careful ambiguity.
Who do you think should win?
The Verdict
Hereditary's most devastating sequence is the formal hinge. Everything before it is a family drama about grief. Everything after is something else — something that uses the domestic intimacy as fuel for escalating supernatural horror. That structural pivot, the moment the genre shifts beneath you, is an achievement The Witch doesn't attempt. Eggers maintains his register perfectly from first frame to last, and the consistency is admirable. But Aster's inconsistency — the tonal shift, the escalation from domestic to cosmic — produces a shock that perfect consistency can't generate. When Hereditary leads, the film that breaks its own rules is proving more memorable than the film that never breaks them. Nobody remembers the rules a film followed. Everybody remembers the moment it broke them.
