One Terrifying Scene - Annie’s Possession in Hereditary

[@JeffRauseo]

Toni Collette not getting an Oscar nomination for her performance in Hereditary will go down as one of the biggest snubs in history. She not only deserved a nomination, but she deserved a win as well. It is one of the greatest performances across any genre in movie history.

Another thing that i really like about this scene is through Peter's POV, he just believes that his mom is trying to kill him due to what happened to Charlie. He never learns about the cult until last second. And that is terrifying to think about as well.

The ONE THING I will never forget about this movie is just how dread filled it was. Most horror movies at least give you some hope even if the protagonist dies in the end. There was not a single point in this movie where I thought it was going to be a happy ending. I was so uncomfortable. Also, technically they couldn’t kill the dude cause they would’ve messed up the vessel for Paimon.

The head banging got me more than the naked man, a naked man can be fought off. I was expecting her to bang with her hands and the movement appeared very unnatural. Also her other movements like when she ran at him or crawled through the air were much slower, but the cadence of the head banging was performed at inhuman speeds sending chills down my spine.

I've had this reoccurring dream which terrifies me so much I wake up feeling cold all over. The dream is something like me having a slow day, everything and everyone are doing their own thing in a normal pacing but suddenly everyone is moving at a fast speed, without any build ups at all. I don't know but that creeps me out so much, probably because I don't have the time to process why everything is at 5x the usual speed, it's the same feeling of when someone is chasing you but they're much faster than you and you didn't even realize that they already caught up to you.

I think another aspect that adds to the whole scariness of Annie’s possession is that her character is often defined by her strong willed and head strong traits, meaning it was very jarring for us to watch her slowly lose control and slip into that boundless demonic state

The possessor takes the vessel (aka Peter) and slams his face down on the desk more than once harming him and disfigurement (breaking his nose).

What makes the ending special is that we are desperately trying to escape the terror Peter is experiencing in the house. When he eventually does, and succumbs to Paimon, you feel a sense of relief. Even though Peter is a demon king and Annie's headless body is floating into the treehouse, you feel better.

What I love most about this movie is that it doesn't rely on cheap jump scares, or really that many conventional scares at all. Instead it slowly turns up the anxiety until you feel like you can't take it anymore. That dinner scene was the standout for me. I felt like my heart was going to explode.

[@Kraluth]

It has the best kind of scares IMO. Jump scares are usually worthless, as the tension releases instantly, and was often done too soon, thus wasting any potential for actual suspense.

Something I noticed my second time watching was, once Annie is possessed she is desperate to get her head off her body for the ritual. It makes the head banging even more gruesome to think she's just trying to get the darn thing off.

We were watching so many horror movies during the pandemic which seems boring for us (cause we got immuned to boring horrors) but Hereditary is the biggest exception.

The naked man smiling was also seen at Annie’s mother’s funeral. Just standing clothed this time with that same bizarre smile. What made this horror film a top notch winner was having actors like Toni Collette and Ann Dowd. They are two of my favorite actresses. That young girl is awesome too.

[@keatondj]

You hit the nail on the head with what I thought when first seeing this scene. The horror in the film up until this final scene is very psychological and based in reality. We have never seen how the demons move, how they act, what they do. We are so helpless and mortified to discover the true nature of the demons until it is too late. The shot of Annie almost swimming out of the room struck a chord in me on my first viewing; I've never felt so unnerved. And then the incessant banging on the attic door with her head was the cherry on top. They are both two of the scariest and my personal favorite shots in horror cinema. This film truly changed my life. CHANGED MY LIFE. I'll never be able to watch any type of film the same way again because I'm not sure they'll be able to match the absolute master filmmaking of Ari Aster.

Toni Collette was completely overlooked for an Oscar in this movie. Brilliant acting. Horror movies are so undervalued in terms of creativity, influence, and great performances. For example, directors such as Quinton Tarantino, Mike Flanigan, Guillermo del Toro and others have gushed about what a huge influence the movie Evil Dead 2 had on them, particularly Sam Raimi's innovative camera work. Other than Silence of the Lambs, which one could argue was not really a horror movie, I can't think of any other "scary" movies that have been recognized by the establishment recently. Rosemary's Baby & the Exorcist both had multiple nominations back in the late 60s/early 70s.

[@BloodylocksBathory]

My favorite thing about the reveal of the naked figure in the doorway is that it's a payoff of a scene from the beginning of the story. Charlie happened to see a man at her grandmother's wake, looking down at her with a distinct, almost aggressive smile. So distinct, in fact, that he's recognizable even in the dark, without a closeup. The cult first targeted Charlie for the ritual, but now that Peter is alone and all the pieces are in place, this creep is back and giving that same unnerving smile. This man has now been confirmed as a member of the grandmother's cult, and Peter is now officially on a countdown toward his own possession.

[@trayclancy]

Right!

[@guitarman0365]

but on a side realistic note poor dude. imagine the actor himself now being seen like this.

The finale of this movie kept me awake for hours into the night. As someone who experienced loss at a young age, the psychological impact of the family’s grieving processing was horror enough.

Absolutely. It's mind boggling to me to realize that there's folks out there who believe demons don't exist!

[@eden20111]

@@ComedyBros5from a scientific perspective, they are not demons. Rather, they are beings from different dimensions that can access our current physical dimension. We encounter many types of these beings across the world. Not all of them are the same. Not all of them are malicious. Most are curious, most are just observing. But there are beings who are curious about our world that go to the extreme by possession. It’s theorized these beings don’t carry the same emotions we do. Their forms lack the amygdala because they don’t have a physical corporeal form like we do. But they are conscious. So they seek ours because they are curious and want to know what it’s like to feel. I could go on but from what I can say, we know there are multiple dimensions within our plane of universe. Just like we know we are not the only ones in space. There is life in OUR universe (Earth and beyond our solar system), and there is life OUTSIDE of our universe (multiverses, dimensions). In summary, a multiverse encompasses the idea of multiple separate universes with different physical laws, while dimensions refer to the different aspects of reality, including the familiar three spatial dimensions and time, as well as potential extra spatial dimensions in certain theoretical models of physics. The study of both multiverses and dimensions explores the vast possibilities and complexities of the universe and our understanding of it, and the LIFE it contains.

One of the most terrifying movies I’ve ever seen. Probably #1 on my list in fact…

[@BackwoodsFilms]

Everyone always talks about Charlie's death being "that scene" in this movie, but I thought the shot of Annie hovering above Peter and slowly (then quickly) decapitating herself with the piano wire was far more unsettling.

[@SuperGman72]

Hereditary is one of the best, most disturbing horror movies ever made in my opinion. It has never left me since i first saw it upon release. There are many shocking scenes filmed and acted brilliantly. If you "get" this film it you realise how terrifying and shocking it really is.

[@MrLuffy9131]

It's like the most shocking thing for me was the beginning where they usually don't show the aftermath so like night passes but nope just straight up child's head on ground eaten by ants in daytime and the dread you feel when your mother is in the next room wailing because you might have accidentally killed her child. Like I didn't like the whole cliche demon bit but it is kind of scary at the end where the room is dark but you realize someone is in there with you

[@trayclancy]

Crazy scene!

[@burbankerr44687]

This whole cast and particularly Alex, Toni and Gabriel deserve every award and praise, they are absolutely incredible in this film

[@kait33]

You saying “This is so f-ked.” Just got me idk lolol 3:25

[@trayclancy]

😂😂

[@LuminanceIsHere]

Same 😂

[@SparkySteve.]

Some people here have mentioned but it's a joke Toni Collette didn't get an oscar for this. Alex's performance should have been recognised too. His portrayal of grief, confusion and terror were outstanding The Oscars are a joke

[@sophiaisabelle027]

We appreciate how well you’ve articulated your insights. Keep up the good work.

[@trayclancy]

Thank you so much!! 🙏

[@justanothermortal1373]

You're so talented at narrating and analysing horror. Your "The Visit" video almost had me in tears, and now this analysis just has me refusing to look away. Keep it up, dude.

[@trayclancy]

Thank you so much dude! This means a lot 🙏

[@ronnie_makes_music]

Overwhelmed was an understatement when I first watched this movie. Even though this movie's ending made some turned off. The ending makes everything even terrifying. It ends off when one of the kings of hell finally arrive Earth, before he finally conquers and tortures the Earth, and having to imagine that is crazy. The imagery is also SUPER disturbing, left my parents and I both shocked after watching the movie.

[@trayclancy]

Crazy!

[@गुरुगोरखनाथ]

The fact that Annie was banging her head on the attic door in an upside down position makes this scene all the more terrifying.

[@XerxesGaming11]

4:48 ngl that reaction time is crazy😭 bro was gone

[@lucasromano2795]

Another disturbing thing is that music at the final scene

[@jakecronin4436]

hereditary changed what i expect from a GOOD horror movie

[@sageytheyandere]

Don't know why this popped in my recommended so late, but just wanna say you should have way more subs. Your style of editing makes the intro short and sweet while also making sure the audience knows what to expect

[@trayclancy]

Thank you so much! 🙏

[@hannahrachelxo2281]

Toni Collette did that scene in one take.. (when she gets possessed.) This movie haunted my thoughts for a long time when I first watched it. Ari Aster is messed up lol but obviously talented. Probably the scariest film I've seen.. it's very well done.

[@trayclancy]

So good

[@Spooky_Sunday]

Like other comments stated, the mother banging her head frantically is the most unsettling part of the scene for me as well. If you look closely, it looks like it was sped up. It also looks a little bit like they reversed the video footage. Human motion in reverse is a big "NOPE" for us, because as social beings the human brain is very sensitive about suspicious signs in body movements and mimic. Reverse movement is like "GTFO" for our social warning system, because it is a thing we'll never encounter naturally. It's such a great hand crafted effect that is pretty effective in my opinion. It reminds me of the "shaking head" effect in Jacob's Ladder, great movie as well.

[@Kkanon]

That intro scene has always made me laugh. I have never found it scary. Her facial expressions are just so funny, that it feels like a meme format.

[@bricksmith1515]

edgy

[@Kkanon]

@@bricksmith1515 Edgy how? It just looks goofy.

[@citizencj3389]

Yeah Peter's expression when he sees the naked smiling man is the perfect example of a flight or fight response to the situation. He just freezes up with his mouth open.

[@Yrrab0421]

Your breakdown is top notch!

[@trayclancy]

Thank you! Really appreciate it 🙏

[@lxced_]

This movie genuinely disturbed me. I honestly didnt even noticed annie in the corner of his room until I rewatched it once which made it way more scary.

[@davidcook680]

This movie was excellent. The acting in it top flight. Great psychological horror. With some visual horror as it progresses. Simple sounds build tension and terror. The use of simply a dark area in a room is amazing.

[@MrLuffy9131]

There's some kind of horror with seeing an object in a very dark room and thinking it's some person which I think we had at one time lol

[@davidcook680]

@@MrLuffy9131 something terrifying when you see a dark space. Slowly something almost appears. Never becoming clear enough. So your imagination takes over. Which is almost the worst thing in the world.

[@abhinavmishra9323]

The overall eerie atmosphere hereditary creates throughout the movie was amazing. It builds the tension slowly, not rushing it which makes it way better than other horror movies that only have jumpscares

[@MrGinger.]

I remember watching this when I was younger and just being so scared of this movie and it didn't help that I lived out in the forest

[@trayclancy]

Yeah I would’ve went crazy lol

[@Khaoscntrl]

THis movie was such a masterclass in horrors. I don't like horror, I like disturbing psychological shit though so this movie was a must see. But man if I didn't scare the shit out of myself watching it. Even now, listening to you explain each scene I have turned down the volume as low as possible because this film STILL terrifies me. Its amazing, a must watch, no matter who I always recommend it if they love film and or scary movies. But it has terrified me ever since my first watching.

[@trayclancy]

Definitely a classic

[@helenenordfeld6058]

The Winkie's scene, Body Snatchers dog, and Kairo ballet ghost - the exact combination I always mention when asked about creepy scenes.. they must share a flavor, I conclude.

[@adambattalagine]

If these vids were an hour long I’d still watch every single one 🔥

[@trayclancy]

I love you. You’re a real one

[@theblindbandit6533]

Peter banging his face was to break his nose in order to make it look like a beak. Because paimon is a bird demon

[@feridedogan7653]

Am i the only one who was crying by watching the scene when toni colette gets a breakdown while dinner ? She should be really more often in horror movies and general in blockbusters😢. Why they dont see her acting skills?

[@ricardomunoz590]

If you could go back in time and play this for someone in 1920s they would have to be institutionalized

[@trayclancy]

😭😭😭

[@friendlyneighborhoodcollec5928]

Dude… 0:56 was so fucked up. When watching the film the first time, I didn’t notice right away but when I did, holy shit I had instant chills.

[@rheavictor7]

Your storytelling is divine (with the irony of the word in the contexto of the video). Amazing work!

[@trayclancy]

Thanks bro!! I really appreciate it 🙏

[@BreadOnDeckk]

5:30 ok, hear me out, demon head would be wild ☠️

[@trayclancy]

Insane comment. But I see the vision 🤝

[@DeathClassic]

The guy in the closet is actually at the funeral of the grandma if you pay attention. Additionally, and for some odd reason, it looks (to me anyways) that he has some tattoos on his chest that are badges commonly worn in the Army to indicate things like Air Assault, Airborne School and Combat Action Badges. I cant really tell but the positioning and vertical nature of them looks spot on. Just a weir little tidbit

[@danielkutner5223]

When I 1st watched this movie (on my own and in the dark) I thought it wasn’t that scary BUT since then I kinda cant get over how messed up this scene is and will from time to time come back to watch the scene. Definitely more psychological than jump scare movie and this is by far the scariest I’ve watched. It’s creepy af. 💯 worth a watch and will try to scare any future partners by getting them to watch it with me 😁😇

[@Louieman]

this movie is a masterclass in horror density. and the effect of that is the more you dissect it, slow it down, give it years to linger, you just realize how potent it really is

[@keithferris9574]

I had to go through a process for about three weeks to get it out of my system. It actually has the ability to bother you more as time goes on. That is very rare.

[@jhinabuser8184]

The sound design in this movie is a big part of why it’s so horrifying

[@theparadoxgamingofficial369]

I'm really not often disturb but this movie man! Holy shit! It really hit me hard, especially the decapitation scene and the aftermath. Truly disturbing. After the movie i needed a looooong break for process the whole thing xD

What i still dont understand is why the cultists had to be naked

[@Raydeo61094]

I went into this movie completely blind without watching a trailer. I am fairly new to the horror movie scene and this movie had my eyes GLUED to the screen. The acting was intense as much as it was outstanding. The party to the telephone pole scene was so unnerving i was like “what the fuck am I watching” then it just continued to get more and more bleak…and that ending. One of my favorite movies ever based on how well it gripped my attention. 10/10

[@trayclancy]

So cool that you went in blind

[@savgee]

one of my favorite movies ever, and your commentary is endlessly entertaining and relatable. would love to see you cover midsommar somewhere down the line

[@trayclancy]

Thank you so much!!! I definitely think that’s in the cards

[@pimmyflores8739]

I remember watching this movie for the first time and saying it was a comedy. I was laughing when the girl got beheaded cause it was like so random. But then the last 15 minutes scared the poop out of me to where I almost left the room. The ending was honestly the most terrified I've ever been for a movie.

[@Finestdeity]

Your explanation and breakdown made these scenes even more scary.

[@topejames3052]

3:30 this is so f***d😂😂😂

[@trayclancy]

😂

[@jayybrodiemusic]

The barrage of events in this movie was fantastic, I didn’t know what to expect and in the end I was led to believe things that were never true. This, is one of the greatest horror movies I’ve ever seen. A truly disturbing masterpiece.

[@themidnightplanner]

Ari Aster’s Hereditary and Midsommar are, without question, some of the most terrifying horror films I’ve ever experienced. As a devoted fan of horror culture, I’ve grown so desensitized over the years that most (not all) films barely linger in my mind beyond the moment of exposure. But these two movies are different-they’ve left indelible marks on me long after the credits rolled. The imagery is profoundly unsettling, surreal, and deeply subconscious, making it impossible to shake. They remind me somewhat of Irréversible with Monica Bellucci-a film that stays with you for an uncomfortably long time (especially one particular scene, for those who’ve seen it). However, Irréversible relied heavily on a dissonant soundscape that physically unsettled the viewer, while Aster’s films achieve a similar effect purely through haunting visuals. The way these images burrow under your skin and refuse to leave is a testament to Aster’s brilliance. Your video perfectly captures the genius of Ari Aster, along with the incredible performances of Toni Collette (criminally overlooked by the Oscars as one viewer mentioned), Alex Wolff, and Milly Shapiro. It’s commentary like this that underscores why these films resonate so deeply-they are horror at its most profoundly impactful. Thank you!
