Hereditary

Strong Contender Wins well above average
2018 · Horror, Mystery, Thriller · Ari Aster

There's a difference between a film audiences like and one that wins brackets. Hereditary does both — 57% across 939 head-to-head matchups. Ari Aster's debut is devastating horror that some voters simply don't want to revisit. Voting for it means sitting with the feeling again, and not everyone signs up for that twice. Among Ari Aster's films on BingeBracket, nothing beats it.

Synopsis

Following the death of the Leigh family matriarch, Annie and her children uncover disturbing secrets about their heritage. Their daily lives are not only impacted, but they also become entangled in a chilling fate from which they cannot escape, driving them to the brink of madness.
