Heredity review
Most. Overrated. Of the decade (last decade technically).
I’ve been on the search for good horror films to watch (please suggest ones you think are worth watching), all over online I heard Heredity was the “best”. Well its not.
2+hours, and the only bit that matters is the last 5 minutes. Nothing builds towards the end, instead it feels like they just abandoned the movie they were making and wanted to make a different one at the end. I appreciated the lack of jumpscares but you need something to replace them (preferably an escalation of tension). What destroys tension is story arcs being pointless, and this goes far beyond a red herring (which can be good for a story), it was an ending that wasn’t built upon the first 2hrs of film. Yeah I am exaggerating a bit as there are a few little things here and there, but those are minor. There could of been a good movie here if woven better but there was a huge disconnect for me between the movie and its ending. It wasn’t a twist, it was just a nothing.
scare score 3/10
movie score 5/10
