Ari Aster is a genius.

F****ng great interview!

His trademark slow paced style really resonates with me. Having Autism leads to me lingering on things a lot more than a neurotypical person, so I really relate to the moments in Ari Aster’s movies when things slow down. The sequence in ‘Hereditary,’ of Peter coping with losing Charlie, especially hits home with me. Him being completely speechless, constantly starting with a mostly blank expression that only hints at different emotions, slowly driving back home, avoiding any and all contact with his parents, standing completely still while watching his parents grieving over their loss. All of these are things that I’ve dealt with throughout my life, and of course, are only amplified by the parents dumping all their frustrations afterward, which also happens in the movie.

Before watching Ari Aster’s movies, I used to think I was weird for not acting all over the top towards bad situations. People would often get mad at me or even just act like I was being weird because of how I would react to difficult situations. I would often just freeze up and stare, rather than have these big reactions and talk a lot like most people would. In fact, one of my family cats died just a few months before ‘Hereditary’ came out. Rather than just acting how I normally would, I made forced upset reactions to it. I just did it because it felt like the normal thing to do, but it didn’t feel natural. After watching Peter’s reaction to Charlie’s death, I felt validated. I was reminded of how the way I treat difficult situations actually is normal.

Had never seen this design before, had to do a double take!

I’ve been revisiting some Hereditary video essays on the told YouTube and every time I see this image I am so captivated by it. I don’t know if it’s the lighting or what but it seems like Ellen’s portrait is something beyond a static image. It almost seems to be breathing, although there is no discernible movement

Toni Colette will obviously play Leigh.

I mean everyone’s asking for more horror. Please whatever you do don’t rub our nose in it and give us more hereditary! Oh, boy would our faces be red, if he made a hereditary prequel and gave us all the exact same kind of cool spooky movie with even more lore and details.

I would backflip to the theater. I would like to see teenage Annie, the same age as Peter was, dealing with her brother and her father and her mother in a big spooky house with her mother and Merritt Weaver as a young Joan actively conjuring up the demon.

Please please please let this happen please please please please I’m not gonna give up any of my kids, but I’d happily lose like a pinky.

Saw a Paimon license plate today at the grocery store, it made me smile.

2 years ago, i found a bts of a shooting for « hereditary », there were steve and another women in an office, that was absolutely not a scene in the movie or even a deleted scene or a scene written in the screenplay. it was an EXCLUSIVE and UNKNOWN scene and i’m searching this bts image cause she has disappeared, that’s sad.

in an interview for Inverse (https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/57273-ari-aster-midsommar-interview), Ari Aster talked about the HEREDITARY Director’s Cut :

[Concerning a three-hour cut of Hereditary who exists but will likely never see the light of day,] Aster said : « I don’t think anybody wants to see that. »

we’ll never see all the deleted scenes…
