I Watched HEREDITARY For The First Time! - Horror Movie Reaction 

Alex's acting was actually really incredible. His portrayal of shock, trauma, guilt, and raw, broken grief; it was perfect.

I see so many people saying the son can't act because of his crying, but to me that shows a lack of knowledge more than anything. That type of crying is actually extremely accurate for people with trauma. So you laugh but its actually great acting, and definitely well researched. (Source: helped various people with trauma at a centre) EDIT: to add to that, I think people see his crying as unrealistic because we are conditioned to what I call "movie crying", which is a more theatrical type of emotion than a real one. His performance was much more authentic for a teenager IMO.

why did i get so triggered when you guy said he cant act cuz of his crying, i thought it was the most real thing in the movie

about the son going blank after killing his sister, some personality types cope with extreme stress by going comatose. their brain just cant cope so it shuts off in a way.

Remember when the mom said her brother killed himself and said he did it bc the grandma was putting ppl inside of him. Makes a little more sense now.

A child dies, mother crying her eyes out. “It ain’t that serious.” 😂😂😬😬

Toni Collete's speech during that dinner was so crazy good. CHILLS

that clicking sound charlie makes is actually paimon...because he rides a camel and thats how you signal camels to go

The grandmother was the leader of a cult that followed Paimon. They put him in Charlies body when she was little, most likely during the time she stayed with the grandmother, meaning Charlie is not Charlie anymore but Paimon but Paimon prefers a male body, making the son the final goal... The part where the mom reads the book on page 81 it pretty much spells out the basic story of the movie :)

I study acting and I am in acting school and let me tell you, the son’s acting was one of the best. It was realistic and just portrays so much realism. Now with Toni Collette’s (the mom) acting she was just downright phenomenal. What I learned from watching y’all is the lack of knowledge or simply ignorance but now you know I guess lmfao

“She might be adopted” Idk man, the title of the movie is literally Hereditary lmao 😂

I like that this movie isn’t in your face about everything. It’s not holding your hand or treating you like a dumbass. There isn’t an obscene amount of exposition that blatantly explains what’s happening. It’s intended to have you give it a few watches and pick up on the details each time to make it make more sense and discuss it with other people. It’s the exact same thing with Midsomer. You’re meant to feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable and even confused the first time you watch it because you’re experiencing the emotions the main characters are experiencing.

Ppl rlly dont understands the signs of shock peter went into full shock after what happened to his sis the way he walked and everything, peter is also a child! A highschooler poor kid

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 love it when you guys go quiet when stuff gets scary

This is one of the best horror movies of decade and your reaction was laugh most time of the video? Seriously?

I’m kinda upset that you didn’t comment on the beautiful direction of this movie. Also, Peters crying was actually very disturbing and realistic if you think of it

Annie: (Cries over her own daughter whose head came off) Mike: _"It's not THAT serious.."_ Uhh, what??

the acting in this movie is absolutely phenomenal

Idk why they were picking on the teenager so much, the guy, he is SUCH a good actor and made the scenes sooo REAL

not y'all referring to Alex as Nat the whole time lmao

Feel sorry for anyone who shares a cinema with these guys 😂

Or watch Midsommar, another movie from the director. Recommendable.

This is by far the weirdest reaction I’ve seen to this movie?

This movie was about a family getting sacrificed to the devil.

please watch Midsommar next! it's from the same director of this film but don't expect something similar, both films are so different but have similar themes

You guys usually get a couple of things wrong and I don’t say anything lol, BUT saying Alex Wolff can’t act is so absurd. Besides Collette, His performance is so good it helps carry both the terror and the drama that the film needs thru its entire run. Not everyone cries the same way and he’s a teenager who just killed his sister. It’s done very well.

When Charlie lost her head I knew this movie isn't gonna get out of my head.

I don’t mean to be rude but I just wanna make sure I’m not alone, but Mikes low key unobservant. I appreciate this movie is confusing but all of his assumptions were literally the exact opposite of what was happening, I’m a new sub so watching a few of his other vids it’s pretty similar. It’s kinda funny though entertaining reaction nonetheless

Dude, you really shouldn't act that offended. Crying at a movie is no "pussy shit", especially when it comes to this movie. I can't stand people who think, hiding your feelings is a good thing......

Came from tik tok! So glad I did and I love these! Keep up the great work!!! You gained a new follower

He's driving away withoutlooking because of shock and trauma, it's realistic and well documented. It would look too fake if he just turned around and said "Oh no, Charlie is dead!!! NOOOOOOOOO!" It's better this way.

Peter was in shock, I think that’s why he kept driving. I couldn’t even imagine being in that situation. Insane

16:05 when you have your hand up for like 30 min and the teacher won’t call on you

That shit scared the hell out of me at the end when i saw it

12:57 all the chaos and mike saying “ are you crying “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Im watching this at 2 am- and this gave me chills now I have to watch something that will cheer me up😭

They had the most genuine reaction to that scene I’ve seen

Someone dies: ad: let’s play RAID SHADOW LEGENDS

Definitely recommend watching this more than once! You’ll understand it a lot more the more you watch it

watching these hereditarry reviews never gets old

Amazing movie one of my fav horror films. This movies made for a deep dive bro, there's so much details put into it.

Roman: does she not know what a fuckin nut looks like? Mike: that girl Pete's with is about to know. Epic immediate comeback bro!

Toni Collettte was robbed of an Oscar for her performance in this.

The school scene where he is getting hung, the director wanted him to bang his head so he set down a rubber mat and the actor said he didn’t like it, so he moved the mat and actually broke his nose and jaw.

I'm 33, saw that movie ONE TIME, and couldn't sleep for weeks!!!

I’ve seen this movie multiple times and I still catch glimpses of things I missed and new theories each time

Came from tik tok, just subbed, great vid

Alex absolutely KILLED it in this movie... They ALL did

I like when you react alone, you really goof too much when you react with a friend. It’s like you’re playing dumb around your friends but in your other reactions alone you catch on pretty quickly.... this is one of a24 best movie yet you guys make jokes about trauma and their acting when it’s peak cinema (not to sound pretentious😬)

Just found this channel!! Please don’t stop making these!! They are super entertaining

Y'all gotta watch Anabelle creation. I still remember how the theater I was in had randoms cracking jokes to break the tension bc we were.All scared af.

Alex Wolff has always been an amazing actor. On the Naked Brothers Band he is clearly the character that has the most creative storyline because the show creators were his parents and knew how talented he was doing an extremely vast amount of emotions. His older brother Nat was always the emotional good guy who was into the same girl the whole time and his character arc mainly revolved around Rosalina. But Alex even though had a crush on the same girl the entire time too goes through a roller coaster of experiences, emotions, and growth. All while he was 7 or 8 years old. At a young age he could be sympathetic one episode and the villain pranking the rest of the guys the next episode. He could be the little baby of the group one episode and by far the coolest guy in the group the next. I was Alex's age when NBB came out and I always identified with his character and I was extremely impressed and satisfied to see him as an adult perform so well in a different style of film that is much more mature and impressive.

I’m here from tik tok , clicked subscribed right away and now I can’t stop binge watching your videos 💕

Bro. I saw you guys off tiktok so I came to your RU-vid channel to see this. And it's actually really funny. I'm subbin

The school scene towards the end was my favorite

Hey man I really like your videos and I hope your channel blows up they’re just really fun to watch I enjoy it a lot😄

“We’re on two different wavelengths right now”😭

17:47 “I don’t want them to get him” 😂😂😂

lmfao Alex's acting is good.... umm dude ya trippn bra!

« Still don’t know what the movie is about » Me: Just wait. Just you wait...

Hey, guys! Glad you enjoyed Hereditary. It's my favorite movie of 2018 and you can definitely pick up on more details with multiple viewings. Since you mentioned it, if you want to watch a really good deep dive video, I recommend checking out this one by Dead Meat: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QYz3r-RLdpk.html

this movie it's fucking amazing and one of my favourites of all time. I will probably watch the movie again because of you, thanks btw

the son was in shock, he froze essentially. not checking up on her means... she didn't die in his mind

At the beginning: "she summoned a demon." Near the end of the movie: "I have to figure out what's going on." ....you sorta already did, man.

Ayeee I was shouted out thanks dude

I like how he said she keeps the head in the fridge like Walt Disney

“you wanted to be a fuckin loser?” LMAO

Basically what happened in the end is that the demon lord paimon took over peters body all thanks to the grandmother forming a cult to worship paimon but he needed a male host to fully evolve in a sense but he had to be in Charlie’s body for the time being but when Charlie died he seized the opportunity to mess with the family further and also break Peter down mentally so he could take over his body and he succeeded.

yall can see in 5:25 that he blows the fumes out the window but in the back theres also someone breathing out as well. creepy stuff

‘Ain’t that serious’....WHAT?!!!

I swear you guys are the only reactors that noticed the mom in the bedroom at the end

You must watch Midsommar, which was made by the same director of Hereditary.

Love this film. You have to follow this up with the director's next film Midsommar.

Charlie is matilda on Broadway

That went south so fucking fast

“Are you crying?”... wait what!? 💀😂

15:15 "Oh Fuck Joan!" "No her names Joan" "Oh yeah, joaen."

Question: y’all ever watch Patriot’s Day? It’s about the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing and Alex Wolff (Naked Brothers Band dude in this movie) played one of the suspects and he was very very good in that

I saw this on tiktok and I am not disappointed to be watching this video right now

This move is amazing I watched it 2 times and now your vid this is perfect thanks dudes

The Devil’s Backbone

Everyone’s reaction at the end of this “what just happened”😂😂😂

Hereditary is a story about one plucky king of hell named Paimon and his quest to find an appropriate male body to possess. He faces many adversaries, but ultimately succeeds. I think the movie is trying to say something about gender, what with Charlie being a tomboy, but idk what. also you dont need to check ur buddy for cryin come on we're all adults here i cry at the movies all the time lol. i cried during spider-man

FINALLY A GOOD MOVIE COMMENTARY CHANNEL!!!

"My son died." "Who asked???!!" BRUH LMFAO

This is the only horror movie that has made me cry... Hearing the mother grief broke my heart, sad af

I was sad to see you didn't have a MidSommar video as well!

not yall saying alexs acting was bad

just found this channel, god tier content

Hereditsry is a story! i've seen this many times and still get chills.

im telling you this yt channel have potential well at least I like the idea keep it up

I haven’t had nightmares or like gotten really scared by anything since I was a kid but this movie…it had me sobbing at the beginning because I have a little brother and that night I woke up so scared because the mom was on my ceiling in a dream☠️☠️ haven’t been able to watch it a second time it fucked me up

When he continued on driving.... I was in shock like insane

Yes I love to see these videos

Now you have to watch Midsommar, by the same director as this one :)

I do really recommend you rewatch it for to notice little details, is that type of movie

Who the heck calls Hereditary boring?

Not a lot of reaction channels react to "Drag Me to Hell" or "The Cabin in the Woods" if you're looking for more horror ideas.

Alex wolf actually broke his jaw for the desk smashing scene On purpose for effect What a champ
