Hereditary Opening Scene

Ok so the film opens with an obituary for Ellen Leigh. There are several details within this that hint at certain aspects of the movie and on repeat viewing it fills in more and more of the gaps about the character.

Not only was Leigh the grandmother and mother to the family that the film focuses on, we also learn throughout the movie that she was the queen of the cult of Paimon.

Paimon is one of eight kings of hell and when researching the figures I learned that his powers include the abilities to creative visions, aquire servants, make spirits appear, reanimate the dead and grant flight which are all things that we see happen in the film.

Before the events of the movie we discover that Leigh had attempted to offer up her son Charles as a vessel for his spirit.

We learn his name through this opening obituary and it becomes important later as it plays into what is really going on with one of the central characters.

Charles committed suicide, accusing Leigh of trying to put people in him and though this was diagnosed as schizophrenia, we know from the events in the movie that this wasn't the case. Because of his death Leigh was unable to give Paimon a vessel. However, that didn't stop her from trying and she waited until her daughter Annie had a son named Peter. At the time they weren't on speaking terms and thus she was unable to use him in a ritual to summon the spirit of the demon.

Years later, Annie and Leigh repaired their relationship and Annie had a daughter named Charlie. Charlie was of course named after Charles and from what we know, the cult then set their eyes on her. There's lip service paid to Leigh telling Annie that she wanted a boy and this is exemplified in one of the customised mats that Leigh made for the child which has her name as Charles instead of Charlie.

The cult successfully managed to put the spirit of Paimon into the girl, however, Paimon desired a male body and thus he did not bestow upon them the riches that they seeked.

The film centres around the cult transferring the spirit of Paimon from Charlie into Peter all whilst carrying out the rituals that enable to possession to occur.

Now from the off there's a tonne of foreshadowing, returning characters and just things in general that don't pay off until the end.

Annie makes minatures and we initially start off with slow pan across one which then becomes the real world. There are a tonne of theories that exist around the symbolism of this but personally I believe this almost dollhouse like aesthetic shows that the characters don't really have any agency or control over the events that play out.

The mom screaming when she found out her daughter died is hard for me to watch. Her acting is so good I believed it really happened....not for real, but suspended belief. Was some top notch acting there.

When she was banging her head on the attic door my jaw just dropped. First movie I seen in a long time that made me uncomfortable and afraid...awesome horror film.

I still believe Toni Collette deserved an Oscar for her role in this movie. She was absolutely phenomenal.

Ari Aster is a modern master. This and Midsommar are in an entirely different league than basically anything I've seen in the genre, like EVER. I am 35 years old and this is the first movie since I was probably 8 or 9 that has legitimately affected me the way a horror movie should. It's a masterpiece.

This film was well done. I wonder how many people caught on to the realistic depiction of the father figure and how he was suffering in silence while trying to be reasonably considerate of his wife and son.

So my younger sister died in a car accident a few years back, I developed “secondary PTSD” and started having flashbacks to the accident I hadn’t been at, my mom whom I was living with went crazy and wound up spending two weeks in an inpatient ward, she cried so much for so many weeks that I started hallucinating sobbing noises when she wasn’t around (including when I spent two nights at a retreat house by myself), being the sibling your grief and pain is totally overshadowed by your parents’ loss (eg. at my wedding dozens of people talked to me about how hard it must be for my mom, not one person asked if it was hard for me), this movie is HANDS DOWN the most accurate depiction of what it all felt like. I cannot say it strongly enough. No amount of “realistic” Oscar-bait drama can compare to how incredibly validated and seen I felt watching Peter watch his mom floating in the air cutting her own head off.

thanks for coming to my sibling loss ted talk

PS my mom loves the movie too
PPS toni is 👑

When Peter enters the house in the ending scene, you can hear the distant sound of the piano being tipped over. You can also hear a string being plucked.
That piano string is what Annie used to cut her own head off.

I watched this with a large group, and I saw Annie on the corner of the ceiling almost immediately and started panicking and saying there was something there and nobody believed me. I feel vindicated seeing this now

I didn't notice the young classmate of peter's was in the cult, but his teacher was also there. i bet the person making the nutty nut filled chocolate nut cake chock full-o-nuts was in on it too.

I think that paimons "light" was supposed to look like the glare coming off of Annie's magnifying glass headset thingy that she uses when shes working on her model projects. Much like she uses it to manipulate her figures, paimon uses it to manipulate the family in the house.

this was the first horror movie in YEARS that made me scared to sleep with the lights off. Annie seeing her mother in the shadows was perfectly done and was the closest thing to what it actually looks like when you think you see something in the dark. so freaky, sends chills down my spine every time.

The Oscars have a huge bias against horror and science fiction, but Toni Colette´s performance was nothing short of Oscar worthy.

This film will become a cult classic. Toni Collette is PHENOMENAL & truly doesn’t get the recognition she deserves.

Annie banging her head on the attic door echoes the rhythm of the knife chopping walnuts at the party.

I dont think that Peter dies upon jumping out the window, just was hurt enough to be weakened for posession. Because his uncle Charles killed himself so his dead body could not be posessed by Peimon
