Kelsi and Trey are joined by friend James Steck to dive into Ari Aster’s Hereditary, a chilling exploration of family trauma, grief, and conditioned traits that has redefined modern psychological horror. They break down the story of the Graham family, led by Toni Collette’s unforgettable performance as Annie, whose descent begins with the mysterious death of her secretive mother. As supernatural forces begin to encroach on her family, Hereditary reveals the terrifying impact of generational trauma and the loss of control over one’s own fate. We discuss the three kings of contemporary horror with Aster, Jordan Peele, and Robert Eggers, as well as Aster’s masterful direction, the film’s unsettling atmosphere, and its layered commentary on family, legacy, and mental illness.
