As two separate movies- one a psychological horror drama about grief, and the other a fun schlocky demon movie, both would have worked. Together, though, both of those sides step on each other's toes.

When Ari Aster was first collecting ideas for what would eventually become Hereditary, he wrote it as a straight drama about a family dealing with the sudden death of a loved one. He got halfway through the script when he realized it would work well as a horror story and went back and rewrote it into the movie that it ended up becoming. Before then...
A movie theater in Innaloo, Western Australia, accidentally played the shocking trailer for Hereditary ahead of a screening of the PG-rated family film, Peter Rabbit. The screening room was filled with families, who promptly fled the room before their children were traumatized any more than they already had been. The theater owners were extremely r...
For the scene in which Peter slams his own face against his desk, Alex Wolff wanted to do some DiCaprio-style method actingand actually break his own nose. However, director Ari Aster politely told him he didn’t have to do that, and that they’d give him a cushioned desk to use in the scene. When they actually shot the scene, Wolff slammed his head ...
The Grahams’ house was built on sets on a soundstage in Utah, where the movie is set, so they could follow director Ari Aster’s meticulously prepared shot list (he wrote a 75-page shot list before the crew had even done a location scout). In order to capture certain shots, the production team needed to be able to take out walls and ceilings to make...
For the terrifying scene near the end of the movie in which a possessed Annie floats above Peter and uses a wire saw to cut off her own head, Toni Collette wore a prosthetic neck and hacked into it with a piano wire. Due to the light weight of wire saws, they tend to be carried by backpackers. Since the Graham family lives in the mountains of Utah,...
For the seance scene in which the chalk magically moves itself around and writes on the chalkboard (supposedly controlled by a ghostly spirit), the production team had to put a magnet in the chalk and then place a magnet on the other side of the chalkboard and write backwards with it. Since the chalk still needed to write smoothly, the trickiest ta...
Milly Shapiro said that her most memorable moment from filming Hereditary was hanging out of the car window. One of the best marketing tricks in Hereditary was not spoiling Charlie’s death, and instead making it look like she was a prominently featured major character (similar to the marketing of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psychoas a Janet Leigh vehicle). ...
The scene in which Charlie’s head is taken off when Peter swerves his car out of the way of some roadkill is similar to a real-life event that took place in Marietta, Georgia, in 2004. A young man and his friend were driving home from a party, drunk. The friend poked his head out of the window as he feared he was going to throw up. RELATED: Heredit...
Director Ari Aster only used CGI effects as a last resort. If an effect could be done practically, he wanted to do it practically. This meant that the special effects team had to come up with ways to create effects they’d never created before, like making a candle light itself.
Coincidentally, Gabriel Byrne and Alex Wolff had already worked together on HBO’s In Treatment, and Wolff knew Milly Shapiro from school (they both attended the Professional Children’s School). This worked out well for the family dynamics in the film, because it meant that Toni Collette was the outsider of the cast, reflecting Annie’s own place as ...
