Hereditary (2018) MOVIE REACTION | FIRST TIME WATCHING!! 

Demon-centered movies generally end with a successful exorcism. This ends with a successful possession. The most strikingly effective horror in years. You guys are now officially my favourite reactors. ❤

People saying this movie is boring is something I’ll never understand. I agree with Ash, this is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen.

The biggest tragedy of this movie is that Toni Collette didn't even get NOMINATED for an Oscar. :(

Toni Collette’s performance in this is phenomenal!!!

This movie is the most pure performance of grief and despair ever filmed. Toni Collette deserved SO much praise for this role. It was some of the best acting of all time.

She said "I was trying to save you!" in her nightmare because she subconsciously knew her son would be a vassal of Paimon, same thing that killed her brother

10:45 , you grabbing the top of your sisters head subconsciously making sure it was still there is one of the most heartwarming and endearing signs of sentiment that I’ve ever seen .

Gonna share something really heavy-My son died 8 years ago and my brother told me he couldn’t sleep for weeks after hearing me wail and scream like a wounded animal after I found my son dead. I couldn’t finish watching this reaction after that bc it triggered me. That scream was so fucking real it made me nauseous thinking about how it felt when I realized my son wasn’t waking up. This movie is just too much. Never had a film make me feel like this. And I hope I never do again.

Ash, you surprise me with your ability to interpret this film in the exact way the director intended. The horror of the movie is secondary to the grief and despair. When you guys were saying that no amount of therapy would fix the son, you were spot on. That’s exactly what the cult was going for. He could only be fully possessed by Paimon once he had reached his most vulnerable state. Great job deciphering the movie amidst all the chaos.

This movie left me unable to sleep the night I watched it. It's right on par with The Exorcist and The Babadook actually. The three movies that left me terrified out of my mind. But I still came to watch it multiple times, and it's one of those movies where you notice something new every time you see it again. But damn is it jarring. And it doesn't help that the characters hate each other. You feel it in your skin. The mom's guttural screams will forever be planted in my mind. It's kinda dumb tho how Toni Colette didn't win an award for this. She outdid herself, and everybody else tbh. Alex Wolf isn't given enough credit for the way he cries. I see plenty of comments saying that it sounds stupid, but to me it makes sense. His character is retracting back to childhood, and that's how a child cries. I'd cry like that too if I felt helpless. Something I've just observed among many other things. Ah, I could go on forever, but I won't. Thank you for your reactions. I love how hyped you guys always are haha

"We need more people like her in the world." The ugly, loud cackle that I let out...🤣🤣🤣🤣

At 29:50 Not everyone catches this, but when Peter sticks his arm up, it's actually the exact shape of the staff the statue is holding in the final scene.

"Even Sherlock Holmes would be confused about what happened in this house" had me dead 💀lmao

I'm glad that you noticed Annie being on the ceiling of Peter's room when he woke up. A lot of reactors missed that, I was starting to feel alone.

The clock-thing with the mouth is meant to be a commanding sound to move a camel. In occultism Paimon is often discribed riding on one. These little details plus the emotional acting and building up a disturbing atmosphere over the whole film, makes this horror special in my opinion. Thanks for the reaction!

"Of course.. as if this movie is gonna let a dog live.."🤣🤣🤣

Toni Collette is a masterful actress. Rarely does she not steal every scene she is in. She also played the mother in The Sixth Sense where she was also amazing.

this movie impacted me deeply and not just because it was scary. the movie deals with grief and it looks at it unflinchingly.. the deepest kind of grief and loss. i lost my mom around the time i saw it and became obsessed with it.. i watched it over and over.. and even though it would make me feel sick, at a certain point i realized it was actually helping me deal with my own grief. in a weird way, this movie was cathartic for me which helped me deal with my own grief. i don't regret watching it over and over, but i kinda never want to watch it again now lol. this movie seems to reach out and touch me and turn my guts into ice (even when i watch other people's reactions.. which i do enjoy just because i think it's probably the greatest horror film i've ever seen)

the actress playing the mom did an incredibly amazing job at really portraying the pain when the girl died

The Oscars didn’t even give Toni Colette an Oscar nod for her performance. But then again historically the Oscars never acknowledge horror movies. The last movie I can remember that they gave awards to was bram stoker‘s Dracula back in ‘92. And even then that was a high budget film with main stream popular actors at the time. Toni Collette was robbed of an Oscar for this year

This is the best horror movie in my opinion as of 2021. Toni Collette gave an excellent performance!! You guys did a great job with the critique!

I love that Ash immediately understood the point of the film. Ari Aster (Director) said it's a film about a family falling apart from a tragedy more than it is a horror movie.

it is CRIMINAL toni collette didn't get an award for this

I've never seen a better reaction to this film. Y'all understood so well. I saw it in theaters 4 times. Charlie's death had me sobbing as an older sibling the first time. That moment scared me more than any moment in any film.

I saw this movie in theaters, and I have to say that it is one of those movies that reminds you of why the move-going experience is so important. The theater was packed. The hype was high. The first few moments of the movie began, and you could already tell that the mood of the room had changed drastically. Absolutely nobody was prepared for that car scene. The tension in the room leading up to that scene was steadily building, but quickly transformed into extreme levels of anxiety, as we were all left staring at Alex Wolff's character's face for what felt like an eternity. The theater was so silent during that scene, that you could hear movie-goers in the lobby down the hall. From that scene onward, no one felt anything but anxiety, tension, and obscure horror for the rest of the film. 11/10 theater experience. It speaks volumes of just how amazing this movie is, and why it is, in my opinion, should be added to the "classics" of the horror genre.

I like how ash holds onto his sister's head when he's bracing himself lolllll, it's something my brother does to me too. And Toni's character in Knives Out was like the complete opposite of this lol. Y'all should jump into Knives Out right after this just to juxtapose it. Murder mystery is appropriate for october too!

Watching people react to this movie never gets old 😅 I dunno how many I’ve watched at this point cause they are hilarious (also I haven’t watched the movie itself cause it looks TOO damn scary) ETA they showed several parts I didn’t get to see so whooo 🙌

The way she howls and screams "i just wanna die!" crying for Charlie sincerely breaks my heart. It is such a realistic reaction to me it breaks my heart. This movie is creepy as hell but that scene is soo emotional

Love your reactions. But it is extra great when your sister and/or girlfriend is joining. Especially these typical sibling dynamics are so precious xD "You spit all over my face!" "Can you stop breathing like that?" xD adorable

You gotta do Midsommar after watching this, it's the same director

“Your boy doesn’t get scared allright? The Exorcist was a one off.” - Ash. Lol. This movie is up there with the exorcist.

Yes! You get this film, and where the real horror comes from. This is my favorite horror film, and I love hearing from others who appreciate it. I think Ari Aster is the new master of dread… the way he creates a story, moves the camera… it’s top notch. Toni Collette not winning awards for this performance is the crime of the century. Alex Wolff,too! Have y’all watched Midsommar?? Please do a reaction if you haven’t! 😊❤️❤️

92% of Ash's speaking is with his arms. Sis was dodging arm bombs the whole time.

Everyone talks about what a weird kid Charlie is, but we the audience never knew the real her. She was Paimon when we're introduced to her.

Little correction: They said that Paimon is one of the kings of hell. Not The king. This movie is so good and scary. The acting was amazing and definitely deserved a nomination!

“You hurt my arm” “It doesn’t matter man..” 😂😂😂

Now that you've done 'Hereditary' you should do 'Midsommar' (the director's latest film). In many ways it's even more shocking.

I love that Ash spells out exactly what scares him at the beginning and then sits through a 2hr movie where it is happening left and right.

Hereditary is an absolute masterpiece! Thank you for giving it it’s respect! People who say it’s boring or stupid are unable to process it’s brilliance and that’s really unfortunate. It’s a great movie! And Toni Collette was robbed for not getting a nomination for her incredible performance.

Bro THIS is the type of energy I had when watching this movie. Mad props to the dude. He gets it. Can you believe that there's people that say this movie "Sucks". Literal morons. Everything about this movie down to the most miniscule detail is a masterpiece.

Now 2013's "Evil Dead" that's fun horror action while still being creepy and disturbing, very underrated demonish

By the way, Ash, I lost my dad this year and you have no idea how much you helped me get through that time. I watched Spartacus when it came out in 2010 and tried to get EVERYONE to watch it. Watching it again with you was incredible, dude, just incredible. Thank you for your videos and your humor. You never know how much your impacting someone's life. Thank you.

This is the scariest movie I've ever watched, and it's not close. I'll never forget the first time I got to Annie (the mom) crying over Charlie. It was heavy, oppressive, and very hard to watch. I *felt* the pain along with the characters. But I couldn't look away because I wanted to know what was happening, and why. It's such a good horror movie because it tries to be a good *movie* first. It's a character drama more than it is a horror film, and that all comes together to create a truly terrifying experience. Yet it has somehow become one of my favorite movies of all time, it might even be number 1. Great reaction by the way! You guys are both very entertaining!

This movie is what would spawn if The Shining, Rosmary's Baby and The Exorcist had a threesome in hell. I really don't expect much of horror films these days. So when I first watched this, I thought it might be just hyped up . But after Charlies head came off, I paused the movie and took a walk just to contemplate what I've just seen. This movie is a masterclass in horror on every level and I consider everyone who tells me otherwise a rube.

This has to be one of the best reactions to Hereditary around RU-vid. If not the best one.

0:20 this made me take my like back

This movie stands apart from any other due to the incredibly real reactions to severe trauma, followed by denial, followed by anger, followed by grief, followed by lives being destroyed past the point of no return. On November 13th of 2014 at 8:35am two police officers were pounding on my bedroom window, as I am deaf in one ear I didn’t hear them knocking on my front door. I was half asleep and was very annoyed that they woke me in such a jarring manner. They asked me to verify my name which I did, then asked if they could come in. I thought that they must’ve been there about the carport my husband had built recently and did not get a permit for it. (Looking back I realize police don’t come to your house and get you out of bed for anything like that, it would be a township worker or something like that.) I told them I was in a nightshirt and I needed to get dressed, but one of the officers said “No, that isn’t necessary right now”. So we walked into the middle of my living room and I started to feel something that I’d never felt before. I remember asking “Is everything alright?” The officer shook his head as he put his hand on my shoulder and slowly pushed me downward onto the sofa. I watched the words come out of his mouth. He said, “Brianna took her life.” My 14 year old daughter shot her self in the head at a neighbor’s house before school, in the home of a county sheriff that thought leaving a loaded, high powered handgun unlocked, with no safety on it, in his kitchen was acceptable. I remember falling to his feet. I remember my screaming, it sounded exactly like Toni Collette in this movie. I mean exactly. I remember his shiny black shoes and sort of “climbing up” him, trying to get his gun out of his holster as I begged him to shoot me. I was taken away to a mental facility by ambulance. That was 7 years ago. Am I over it? No I’m not. Have I accepted it? No I have not. I have severe PTSD from that moment beginning with the pounding on my bedroom window next to my head, to the moment I was being led across my front yard to the ambulance. It was the first frost, and I can close my eyes to this day and hear and feel the grass crunching under my feet and the frost cold, nipping my bare ankles in my slippers. The antiseptic smell of the facility is still in my nose. My life changed that day from living, to merely surviving. Over the years, I’ve seen dozens of actors and actresses portray characters breaking down upon being told their child was dead. I can honestly say that none of them really upset me. All they did was “remind me” of the that day, without much of a physical feeling, except maybe for a crying spell and some melancholy. This performance by Toni Collette didn’t “remind me”, as remembering causes thoughts of sadness that fade away a day or so after watching the movie. I realize now that only a very rare and exceptional actor or actress can make you “feel” pain, not just remember it. If you were to put video/audio of me that day side by side with Toni’s reaction and ask a parent which one is real, I don’t believe they could tell. For me, the scene actually made me “feel” the memory, versus only thinking it. I was, and still am, absolutely in awe of her performance in Hereditary.

I hate, and I love this movie. This is a nightmare with some of the best acting of all time on full display. Toni Collette is a total phenom.

There is a book, called the 'Book of Abramelin', written a few hundred years ago, in which the 8 'kings' are listed: Amaymon, Ariton, Asmodeus, Astaroth, Beelzebub, Maggot, Oriens, and Paimon. They are ruled by 4 higher demons, Belial, Leviathan, Lucifer, and Satan. Paimon seems to be kind of the knowledge keeper of hell, who knows basically everything, and will truthfully answer every question someone directs at him. Interestingly, Lucifer and Satan are separate entities in these 'demonology' books.

You could watch "Scary Movie" together, to have a good time laughing at a horror comedy. 👌 I really enjoyed your reactions to this, very funny! 👀

I typically don’t like horror movies. Not bc I can’t handle being scared or they give me nightmares or something, I’m a grown-@ss man (😆), I just usually find them and most ‘demonic’ or ‘paranormal’ movies silly, lame, ridiculous, corny; just totally unrealistic - I know it’s escapism, but it’s usually SO ridiculous, I just can’t play along, I just roll my eyes and groan like “oh COME ON... give me an effin break”. HHereditary was different... I think it has lot to do with the acting, especially the mom, but ALL the actors did a GREAT job in every scene. It really helped me get to that “suspension of disbelief“ state and just enjoy the story, and actually be genuinely freaked out a few times. Great movie

I’m glad Hannah didn’t watch this. She would’ve been ruined. RUINED! 😳

The only truly terrifying part of this movie to me was the accident happening…the son just absolutely destroyed and then the mom screaming in pure agony. The theater was sooooo quiet during that part. It was so shocking and real. The rest of it wasn’t so scary to me.

LMAO i loveee Ash's faces throughout the scary parts 💀 mans shittin himself 🤣🤣🤣

My mom makes miniature dollhouses😭 she literally has a blog and an IG page for it. I told her to watch this movie but she refuses😂 This film disturbs me so much i love it.

The dude's reaction to Peter in the classroom lmfao amazing.

The babadook is another one you should watch.

horror movie is not always scary faces and jump scares. sometimes is the dread & creepiness.

Let the girl talk, man.

I love the dynamic man! Great reaction and would Watch this ten times over bro. You and sis are a great team

I’m from the 70’s and 80’s. Sending your little sister or family member with the teenager because they thought it would decrease the possibility of him drinking or sex. I was sent with my young uncle to his dates. I was little but I understood why he was mad. So I loved it!!!!! I would laugh and ask for treats. I liked Stirring the pot. He would get so mad at me but I was his favorite niece. He used to get over it quickly.

As someone who lost a younger sibling to cancer, see this movie really bothered me to say the least.

It was so adorable how you just put your hand on your sister’s head as if to hold it on. I couldn’t tell if you even knew you were doing it. That’s the purest reaction to that incredibly disturbing scene I’ve ever watched

This one is special… like the Exorcist, it’s not just a horror film, it’s a film that is about something, which typical horror films really aren’t. The Exorcist is about faith, this film, as you noted, is about grief, and guilt. When are you going to react to Midsommar, by this director, and The Witch, by the equally great Robert Eggers. It was perfect that you watched this with your sister. You should watch Midsommar with Hannah, it’s about the worst boyfriend ever, and she will guaranteed gag.

Dude, stop criticizing and hating everyone in the film. Yeah, they're fucked and weird as shit but if you can't relate to them in any way, shape, or form, then you can't 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 about them, and you're essentially saying the director failed to make a good film. An audience 𝐡𝐚𝐬 to recognize even a tiny bit of "humanness" in a character, or - what's the point? Even villains are painted with some hues of vulnerability and fallible qualities, or we don't care when their demise appears. Be respectful - 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞. ♡ And no, I vehemently disagree: the worst nightmare for humans is not about siblings, but about burying our own children. Believe me, I know.

15:54 When you're so on edge that you notice your sister's annoying breathing. 😆

Fun fact: When the family comes back from the funeral, before they enter the house you can hear someone running upstairs and closing a door.

Dude… turn down your damn intro

i think the mother tried to terminate the pregnancy because it would no longer have a host since the daughter wasn't viable

I just realized Joanne saying her son died, meaning she killed him in sacrificing him for the king devil thing… that’s kinda horrific to think about…

Unbelievable... I don't understand why Toni Colletti wasn't even nominated. The US Academy Awards doesn't honor great horror films with actors/actress performances as they should. This was the best actress performance of 2018 for sure. Hands down! Even if she had been nominated, she would have most definitely won the Oscar. I'm so convinced of this. What a performance!..What a performance! Indeed.

This is one of the most disturbing, effective and well-made horror movies I've seen in many years.

Alright Ash, you really HAVE to watch The Lighthouse and The Witch. It would make for great reactions but just watch it on your own because they are brilliant films. Stay safe! Cheers.

With ash I connect strongly with the “pole scene” reaction. As an older brother. Thinking of myself in that situation. I would go insane.

I think it’s great that you watched this quite soon after the exorcist, these two for me are similar in the tiny thing they do different too all horror films but it makes such a profound difference to other horrors. It’s constantly throughout the film makes you disturbed as other films cut away from the main plot, these are horror disturbing all the way through……. Hi Anna ☺️

I totally enjoyed your reaction.

Add Exorcism of Emily Rose to the list!

Jump scares are the lowest form of horror. The jump scares in this movie are the least scary parts compared to the rest of the chaos.

Having to go tell your parents you accidentally killed your sibling must be like having to tell your teacher you didn’t do your homework but like… times three

Lol oh shit after the spit in the face got me busting out laughing again

What made this movie great wasn't that it was "scary" in the general sense of the word. For me it genuinely altered me psychologically. And I mean that it so many way. Firstly it altered my perception and the way I think about the world and secondly it altered my perception of what I movie could be. It pushed parameters that I never thought existed.

The trailers portrayed the little girl as the antagonist. So i remember when i went to the theaters I was in total shock when she got decapitated. From the moment she hit to the moment they showed her head i couldnt move lol

"she's auditioning for spiderman 3" LMAOOOO i cant

You know a movie is disturbing when your sister says“good“ and is relieved by someone jumping out of a window xD lovethis movie so much and Great reaction. Subscribed!

HE LIED AND SAID IT WAS A SCHOOL EVENT SHE DIDNT KNOW ALL THT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN THE THE SON LEFT HIS SISTER UNATTENDED AND DIDNT CALL 911 THE MOTHER ISNT TO BLAME AT ALL

For being ari asters first debut film He is undoubtabley one of modern days greatest and im sure will be continuing to push the envelope with his next films He did with midsommar He will again

It's the kind of movie you think about when you're by yourself late at night. it sorta just stays with you for quite a while after you've watched it

The fact that Toni Collette didn't won an award for this movie is a crime against acting and filmmaking.

10:48 The way your just holding her head 🤣🤣🤣

At a certain point in this movie, i think when he was about to see his burned dad, I was just like, "Damn this kid will actually be better off dead than in this freaky family."

The finest performance of Toni Collette- an absolute gem and Australian national treasure.

Toni Collette was also the Mom in The Sixth Sense. She was also Muriel in the movie about a girl who loves ABBA in Muriel's Wedding.

There are key moments everyone looks for in reaction videos when watching Hereditary (telephone pole, wall crawling, piano wire) but the scene I most look forward to is how people respond to the dinner scene. It is the most deeply uncomfortable scene. I think it transports so many people back to some hideous family dinner when they were younger.

ashs face during the argument i died

That's why i HATE the academy awards and all it's about now! They knew that Toni Collette should have at least been nominated, but they choose to leave out incredible performances with the fear that they will look like they actually respect quality masterpiece horror films. It's a bias that is unforgivable to the majority of voters in that bubble of shit called the academy. Shame on them.

I saw this in the theaters and left knowing I watched greatness. This film is next level horror. Best of the last 10-15 years.

Does this guy do a line of coke before they record an episode?

Lmao at "not even Sherlock Holmes could figure this out" too funny

"Is there anything nice in this movie??" I legit laughed out loud. Other than how beautiful the house is, I'd say no...nothing nice in this movie, but it's still excellent.

12:14 true but also rule #1 is you send your kid with their EpiPen. If she's having her older son chaperon his little sister to a BBQ or a party, the parents need to put the EpiPen in the car and remind him of it. I know from my brother and his wife cause whenever both of them won't be around their kid, they verse you on your ability to use an EpiPen and that you know where it is
