Hereditaryis the kind of film you need to sit with. It's not just that it has a lot of shocking twists, though it does, or that the scares linger in your psyche, though they do. It's also that Hereditaryis dense with details that only reveal themselves upon closer examination and careful thought... or at least a deep dive into an explainer like thi...
And people really do worship him. To be clear, Paimon is "real" in the sense that he was not invented by writer-director Ari Aster for this film. Whether you think he's actually, literally real depends on whether you believe demons and spirits are real. For what it's worth, mentions of Paimon go back centuries – he's even included in the 17th centu...
From the moment we meet her, it's obvious there's something off about Charlie. What exactly that is takes a while to reveal itself. Early in the film, Annie (Toni Collette) explains that when her son Peter was born, she kept him away from her mother, Ellen. When her daughter Charlie was born, though, Annie relented and "gave" her to Ellen. Ellen do...
Peter is the first male host that Queen Leigh (a.k.a. Ellen) has been able to deliver to Paimon, but he's not the first male host that she's triedto offer up. Annie mentions in the movie that she had a brother who died by suicide after claiming that Ellen had tried to "put people in him." Annie apparently assumes this was a symptom of his schizophr...
Throughout Hereditary, the camera draws our attention to mysterious words scratched into the Graham house walls, including "satony," "liftoach pandemonium," and "zazas." The film never explicitly explains what the words mean. However, "satony" seems to be a word used in necromancy; "liftoach" is Hebrew for "open"; "pandemonium" could be understood ...
Charlie's death is one of Hereditary's most startling twists, and it's all the more upsetting because it feels like one no one could've possibly seen coming. Not the Grahams, who just wanted Charlie to have a nice time at a party, and not the audience, who were primed by the marketing to see Charlie as a lead character. But it's not entirely random...
Whereas Annie's experience with mental illness is personal (it runs in her family), Steve's is also professional: He's a therapist. His choice of career corresponds to his role in the family as well. While everyone around him is falling apart, he's the one trying to provide stability and emotional support. That connection was clearer in earlier ver...
Ellen's friend Joan is the one who ultimately gets Annie involved in the cult's dealings. But that was actually plan B. Earlier in the film, we get a shot of the Grahams' mail slot. There's a stack of envelopes, indicating that the post office has already come by. Then an unseen someone slips a pamphlet on top of the pile. The pamphlet advertises a...
Throughout Hereditary, Aster employs various tricks to make the Grahams look like figures in one of Annie's dioramas. The camera might zoom into a dollhouse that transitions into the Grahams' home, or sink below the ground to make the Grahams look like they're inside a terrarium. According to Graham, that's meant as "a potent metaphor for the famil...
To Annie, Steve, and Peter, the events detailed in Hereditaryseem not just unforeseeable, but completely unthinkable. In actuality, Aster said, "This is absolutely inevitable, the family has absolutely no agency." He added, "Any control they try to seize is hopeless." That helplessness extends to their apparent screwups. Annie's decision to cast th...

Mar 23, 2021 · Transgenerational Trauma. Ari Aster explored the notion of transgenerational trauma in Hereditary. The family is shown to have a long history of trauma that’s been passed on generationally. The demon that gets passed on from generation to generation in the Graham family can be seen as a terrifying metaphor for the trauma that’s passed on ...
