The grandmother is the “Queen” to this “King” demon meaning he can only be summoned through her blood line and that’s “Hereditary”

[@TurntBucket]

Are you sure? I figured that the grandma just worshiped him and implanted her family with it. I assume any person that became the leader of the cult could do this to their family. I also assume that you dont even need to be the leader to do this but because its a privilege the leader is the one that gets to do it.

[@JiiWoon]

@@TurntBucket you’re right , it’s just that’s what the cult view her as And was shown written (queen) in the last tree house scene . also there’s the metaphor of (every king has a queen) which also been stated by the director ari aster

[@attitudeproblem6462]

“Is she in the car or _out_ of the car?!” Both.

[@Maria-bj1yl]

Ari Aster’s mind is a TERRIFYING PLACE and I hope he keeps making creepy films for a long time

[@attitudeproblem6462]

Although “Beau Is Afraid” was kinda of a miss for me.

[@VictorLugosi]

Beau is afraid sucked, midsommar sucked.. how is it scary? He got a lucky one by stealing off others.

[@alanrose5603]

"I think someone needs to do a welfare check on this family, hey? Everybody's dead and headless" I couldn't stop laughing at that:)

Me too.

[@dlweiss]

"There were so many headless bodies in this movie!" "There WERE!" And there's the review right there, haha. Thanks for sharing your reaction to this one! :)

Lol

[@lizmagu3189]

"Someone needs to do a welfare check on this family" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is byfar the most disturbing movie I've ever seen. I swore I'd never watch it again but I love watching people react to it. Great reaction guys!!

[@scouseofhorror104]

I keep saying I can never watch it again! But I want other people to watch it.. 😬😅

[@texassmokingmonkey]

And you KNOW the parts to watch for, to see the expressions of horror and revulsion, just like the ones you were wearing.

[@abc.animal5143]

This movie is actually scary, Toni Collette deserved an Oscar

[@oni6903]

11:00 he wasn’t a terrible brother. He was in shock as well and blamed himself and didn’t know what to do.

[@Gaming_Sparky58]

Yeah he just a kid too.

[@Jen-Mom]

Once the story plays out - absolutely agree!

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

This film depicts shock at an event like that more realistically than any movie I've seen. In most films, the death of a loved one results in a little crying and some somber music, not the absolute devastation we see here.

[@tommyross3298]

Exactly. Annie killed Charlie more than Peter did. Why? Because she was the adult in the situation. And she forced the entire thing.

[@kiana960]

I’m sorry but no . I understand that he’s a teenager and made a terrible mistake and also he’s grieving in his own way. However this needs to be said that doesn’t absolve him of his role of in the death of his sister . As someone who is an older sibling I understand that he wanted to him out with his friends and get drunk and high . And it sucks to have to bring your younger sibling along. But he was responsible for her. He didn’t even pay enough attention to her to see if what she was eating had nuts in them . Which he knows that she was allergic to. Once he did notice he drove high as f and caused the death of his sister and made his own mother see what was left of her child’s body. I completely understand where she’s coming from. Her response was a real response and a completely understandable response

[@Chloe.reynolds96]

Not once during this film did anyone say "Annie are you okay? Are you okay Annie?" And I feel like it was a missed opportunity

[@Maxwellish]

watched this film so many times and i always end up feeling the worst for Peter. one of the most realistic portrayals of shock i’ve ever seen. his presence throughout the film feels more and more dreading as it goes on, just becoming more of a husk. i wish they had included the deleted scene between him and the dad in the final, its so heartbreaking and really gives the realization that he’s just a teenager. Alex Wolff is an incredible actor.

[@bgb411]

This movie had me checking the corners/background of every room I was in for MONTHS after I saw it since the sister is just creeping around lurking in the background of many scenes. I didn't see the turns and twists coming but what a ride.

[@ztomas1]

It's hilarious that the mom covers her eyes and then says, "what happened?"

[@Jen-Mom]

😁

[@TurntBucket]

Charlie was not Charlie from a young age. Charlie was Paimon from very early on in her life. They had already possessed her body at a very young age.

[@01eddiekane]

the fact that ppl think this movie was horrible is beyond me

[@theatrefans1]

Interesting how you have no empathy for Peter when he was deep in shock.

[@maxtew6521]

I've mentioned this before on YT, but the part I find most unsettling is that in both 'The Exorcist' and 'Hereditary,' the evil entities whose names are used are ones historically worshipped and conjured. The one from 'The Exorcist' from ancient times in Assyria and Babylon, and the one from 'Hereditary' from a 17th century grimoire. I'm a believer in things spiritual, and try my hardest to associate with the Lord God. This stuff gives me the heebee jeebees.

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

Is that the same god that demands you worship him or else burn in hell for eternity...that guy? Honestly, Paimon sounds like a nicer dude, not that he actually exists.

[@アキコ2003]

@@Corn_Pone_Flicks lmao, agreed

[@louie081]

@@Corn_Pone_Flicks so you’re saying that a god that you have to worship or else you’ll burn in hell is worse than a king of hell who will set you up to decapitate your little sister, kill your dog, burn your dad, and posses your mom to chase you and show you how she decapitates herself just so he can take your body and do whatever he wants with it?

[@Hotchocolatewithsugar]

@@Corn_Pone_Flicks in fact all of them do. At least they are upfront . In the bible it says god is a jealous god. What kind of superior entity that made us allegedly gets ‘jealous’ isn’t that a human emotion lol 😂 😂 😂 and if they made satan and all the demons why keep them around ? Just remove them ? Seen as this god is the one who made everything? 😂

[@hedonicmusic]

It is so relieving to not believe in anything paranormal....

[@ns9224]

Yalls screen quality is immaculate like absolutely perfect I truly appreciate y’all effort craft and creativity I truly appreciate this totally subscribing. 🙌🏾😊

[@kilgh]

I only truly got how clever this film was on the second viewing where I began to see how well they set up the ending. This is the only other horror film other than the Exorcist that truly disturbed me.

[@kimbervoss3753]

Me too!! the exorcism of Emily rose used to disturb me pretty good, too..

[@drewpaupanekis4710]

“You’re a terrible brother” yeah you accidentally kill your sister and you try to process what happened. Of course the kid is gonna be in shock, seriously have some empathy for the kid.

[@MOVISUALS]

Dude calm tf down its a movie and this was his initial reaction.

[@Jen-Mom]

Yeah, after 'processing' this movie a bit (there was so much going on!), Peter deserved way more sympathy! ❤

[@soft_serve_666]

No shit. People with not a ton of trauma in their lives don't seem to get why Peter did what he did.

[@soft_serve_666]

​@@MOVISUALSHe's just reacting to the reactor's reaction. If you don't want to be criticized for your opinions, don't post them on KZbin for the world to see. Some people might not agree with them.

[@maggieellis2303]

I ❤❤❤ when your mom said, “Someone should do a welfare check on this family.” Sorry to blow up your comment section lol. You two are correct - this flick is terrifying. Even though it exhibits some elements of other movies, it almost feels like a modern day horror (and drama?) classic. Thanks to you both for sharing!! ❤️🥂

[@tonitalks144]

*Steve is murdered* *Annie is possessed and murdered* *Peter is murdered and possessed* *Annie's possessed corpse floats up into the treehouse* "I think someone needs to do a welfare check on this family hey???" I WAS GONE 💀💀💀💀💀

"Is she in the car or out of the car?" Yes

[@TurntBucket]

I havent heard ppl make the connection to Rosemary's Baby but you guys are right. Very similar premise.

[@davidstephens8543]

One of the most unsettling flicks I have ever watched...

[@Jen-Mom]

Yes!! 😮

[@jennyhill7190]

Yeah what happens to Charlie is incredibly shocking and you don’t see it coming at all so it definitely packs a punch. Her chopping the bird’s head off I feel is a foreshadowing of what is gonna happen to her. While this movie is not my favorite horror movie it is definitely one worth watching more than once since it’s so good. Also I love the opening shot too, it’s really neat. Since I’ve first watched this movie I kind of wish more movies would do shots like that because it’s so interesting.

[@kimbervoss3753]

The actor who played Peter actually broke his nose during filming.

[@TurntBucket]

"I think someone needs to do a welfare check on this family, hey". Lol that got me laughing.

[@stevesheroan4131]

Going in blind…. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha………. Hope you enjoy, I love this movie. BTW, Annie didn’t dig up the body. If you go back to when the family is returning from her funeral, you can hear noises in the house before they walk in the door. The cult had been going in and out of the house already, and they are the ones who put the body in the attic, wrote the incantations on the walls, and put the triangle on the floor in granny’s room. Also note that Annie doesn’t do any sleepwalking in the entire movie, she actually only dreamed that she was. P.S. The cutaway to Ripley in Aliens was priceless, lol! I’ve left that quote in the comments of many horror movies, and you guys beat me to the punch this time.

[@maggieellis2303]

Condolences for having gone into this blindly with your mom. 😢 I’m still making my way through your reaction, but I had to get that out lol

[@gachoman2012]

He was in shock.

[@eddietucker7005]

No, Annie did not dig up her mother’s grave. There was a whole cult to do that for her. Remember she said in group that her brother was schizophrenic and committed suicide because he kept saying his mother kept trying to put people in him? She was queen of this group for a long time

[@TheLadyLuck523]

Such a disturbing movie. Lots of psychological horror and a slow build to the supernatural ending. I'm glad Jen managed to get through it. I hope it doesn't give you too many nightmares.

[@Jen-Mom]

Still thinking about this one......😬

[@itaatisa8357]

After Hereditary, Midsommar is a must watch 😊

[@alamoja]

Yes. They thought this was scary. Midsommar will blow their minds

[@vee7586]

this movie is about family trauma and grief. Generational trauma (like it's hereditary)

[@BJBee]

It's literally about a bloodline a particular demon can be summoned to this world from. Every single thing that happened to that family was just that 'process'. They're dolls, collateral damage. And the final host needed to be broken and traumatized beyond repair so he can't fight the demon when it comes.

[@carolyngrinberg6889]

The clucking sound is the noise camel riders make to make the camel go. In this movie, Paimon is the rider and the possessed one is the camel.

[@purpleprinc3]

"What's a place like you doing in a girl like this" and that's a spicy o'meatball folks!

[@mezzomac7]

Wow, you watched this movie for the first time and picked up all the right details about the story. I admire people with a good focus so they, therefore, have honest natural reactions 👍

[@carolinedoyle7236]

Great reaction, this movie gave me nightmares for days! I love the relationship between you guys 🥰

[@robertyeah2259]

I think a connection a lot of people don’t point out is that Annie’s past with sleepwalking and nearly killing Peter is likely why Peter couldn’t face her after Charlie’s death. He’s already afraid of her before the movie starts.

[@xXDiGiTaLBaThXx]

I was cracking up with the " Thank you Joan" 😆

[@craiggillett5985]

Wow. I’ve never heard of this before. Brutal! I’m definitely going to watch the full movie, even your reaction video has my heart rate through the roof and it’s absolutely scary.

[@vee7586]

its a great movie that revs its engine and really dosent give you room to breathe once things get going

[@craiggillett5985]

@@vee7586 perfectly summarises my brief experience watching these two

[@Th3Downz]

Man, I wish you hadn't seen this video. The audible gasps in the theater when the thing with Charlie happened were incredible. The next scene was so silent and you could tell everyone was uncomfortable... people were shifting around, trying to muffle coughs. I love horror and that's definitely my favorite moment in a theater setting. Just blew everyone's wigs off

[@86leewis]

Whenever I'm browsing someone's library. If I see this I will stop everything and watch it.

[@suedoughnim6665]

I’m not sure if Charlie’s book was a temporary vessel for Paemon, but it wouldn’t let the mother burn it unless it meant everyone except for Peter had to be sacrificed. That’s why the Dad had to die before she completed the sacrifices by beheading herself.

[@damianl680]

Don’t get the hate for the brother. He was obviously in shock, it’s not like him freaking out would have changed the outcome

[@BJBee]

He was catatonic with shock. His mind can't process what just happened and he just shuts down.

[@mantra4612]

The sound design of this movie is so creepy

[@DeeJayResist]

The cult dug up the grandmother. If you really saw or heard all the easter eggs you'd notice the cult was in the house as early as after the funeral. You can hear them in the attic walking around. Also when watching this movie I'd suggest pausing the video whenever something comes on the screen that has to be read. The note she found early on was her mother explaining, vaguely their coming sacrifice. You truly must watch this movie more than once to catch everything

[@MZ-bl6wg]

I lost my mom recently to cancer so I love when people bring their moms on, it’s jsut nice to have a mother figure on a channel , maybe that doesn’t seem to make sense but does in my head lol. I LOvE this movie, hoenstly first time I saw I wasn’t sure how I felt about it but the most I’ve watched it each time I see how much I missed , Ari Aster and A24 don’t put ANYTHING in their films by accident so you have to pay attention to everything especially the dark parts of screens that seem empty .

[@Jen-Mom]

❤

[@maggieellis2303]

YOU TOTALLY GOT IT - they did use magnets under the table. Noice!

[@86leewis]

It's paimon in the body. He was in Charlie since the very start of the movie. Then moved to Peter. Notice the funeral in the beginning. Charlie was doing the click thing. That's him. The son guessed right, Charlie was paimon the whole time.

[@thebookgeek87]

Loved y'all reaction to this movie. A favorite of mine. Crazy how the grandma was trying for years to accomplish this. She even tried it with her own son which is why he killed himself & accused her of trying to put people inside of him.

[@mikemath9508]

the dad is the real victim in this movie. he tolerates all this crap and then dies

[@Jen-Mom]

Good God, yes!!!

[@harold-thedutchguy]

Just discovered this movie only recently myself. Really scary and amazing acting performances. Great reaction again. I could tell you two were freaked out as well 😱 When Annie is at the grief meeting in the beginning, she tells about her older brother who killed himself and his suicide note, in which he blamed his mom for trying to put other people inside of him. Annie tells he was schizophrenic. Question is if he really was, or that they tried to put the demon in him initially. Looking forward to your next reaction videos 😀

[@christopherschreiber5805]

That's one take. But you also have to consider that most of what happens in the film could be someone's hallucination. Schizophrenia, after all, is hereditary. That's how I deal with this anyway lol.

[@harold-thedutchguy]

@@christopherschreiber5805 I understand what you're saying and agree. There are many layers to this story and the characters, a lot is open for interpretation. Which makes it such an awesome watch 😄

[@daddybendover69]

Also Joan says her son and grandson recently drowned. I think the cult has been trying with all their male offsprings for a long time but the men kept killing themselves.

[@harold-thedutchguy]

@@daddybendover69 Hadn't thought about that, I assumed Joan made up that story as a way in, to make a personal connection with Annie in order to get things started. But your thoughts sound very plausible as well. Interesting theory 😀

[@andrewmoss3681]

Another great reaction. A bit of geekdom here for you. The lore regarding Paimon in this is nearly spot on. They have only made a couple of little changes. 1. Paimon is 1 of 9 Kings of Hell, not 8. They changed this to tie it in with a compass direction. 2. The beheading of sacrifices hasn't got anything to do with Paimons demonic lore. But Feth me does it add some shocking brutality to the movie. 3. The floating bodies IS part of Paimons lore. If you go back & pause on the page about him in the book you'll see that he is able to bend or break the laws of physics. So floating is no problem what so ever. Hope this helps add a bit of extra creepiness to a great horror. Have an amazing week & much love to everyone from here in the UK

What did Steven do? Like really? He ignored everything that was going wrong with the family, didn’t get his son out of danger, didn’t get mental help for his wife, Steven couldn’t hold water nonetheless his family.

[@robertyeah2259]

They deleted tons of scenes of Steven that you can find on KZbin, and I’m puzzled as to why they didn’t keep more of it. Essentially, Steven is a psychiatrist who met Annie because she was his patient. He’s always suggesting things that they “could” do, but seems to keep a distance because it isn’t considered ethical for a psychiatrist to cross the bridge between personal relations and his profession. There’s more scenes of him telling Annie that he’s becoming afraid of her, and even an apology scene with Peter where Peter says he’s sorry for killing Charlie. The movie was already long so I don’t know how another 5 - 10 minutes was just too much lol

[@mclizzard2928]

They're puppets being controlled by external forces. Their lives were orchestrated and they had no real control over events. The demon can only be summoned through their bloodline and needed a healthy host. The first girl was 'defective' so they got rid of her. They traumatized the boy beyond belief so he's broken and easily taken over.

[@Jolar70]

"Existential dread" is the most perfect way to describe this film, I have never felt a family SO doomed, from before the movie even starts, more than this! The dread is thicker than the air in this. Loved your review, and both of your thoughts. This was one of the last films I saw in a theater before Covid shut everything down, and I LOVED it! And critics liked it too, but, at the time, there was also an online backlash from teens, and general audiences, who probably expected jump-scares and constant gore, and then felt tricked into a slowly creeping, brutal family drama, even though it absolutely leads to supernatural horror! Happily, due to reviews like yours, the film has seen some recent redemption, appreciation, and respect. That Toni Collette wasn't nominated for an Oscar for this, makes me take that award less seriously now! There's a long history of The Oscars snubbing genre films, but, c'mon... Everyone in the cast was great, cinematography and score are amazing, and I'm over 50, and it finally replaced "The Shining" as my favorite horror film! I only wish I could share this with my mum too! But, 5 minutes in and she would be OUT! Thanks again, loved this!
