Hereditary Ending Explained

<img src="https://https://ift.tt/2Lz5Gx3" /><p>The ending of Ari Aster's feature film debut <strong><em><a href="https://screenrant.com/tag/hereditary/">Hereditary</a> </em></strong>owes as much of its ending to horror movies like <em><a href="https://ift.tt/2sGq6Nw Baby</a></em><strong><em> </em></strong>and <em><a href="https://ift.tt/2HyviaU Omen</a></em><strong><em> </em></strong>as it does to Greek mythology and mental health. That said, it's not especially cut and dry, so cue the complicated layers of interpretation.</p><p>In <em>Hereditary</em>, Annie Graham (played by Toni Collette) is an artist whose mother has just passed away. And though her son Peter (played by Alex Wolff) and husband Steve (played by Gabriel Byrne) appear to be mostly indifferent towards her death, Annie's daughter Charlie (played by Milly Shapiro) seems especially troubled. This kicks off a brief exploration into Charlie's peculiar tendencies (clipping off the head of a dead bird, crafting abnormal creatures out of scraps, being completely nonchalant over the fact that her late grandmother used to breastfeed her) before a series of seemingly insignificant events leads to her untimely death. From there, the movie edges suddenly into the supernatural, introducing séances, ghosts, and the occult into the mix. However, whether or not the specters that appear to be haunting their home are real or just heightened projections of grief, there is very clearly something malevolent inhabiting this grief-stricken family; and whether or not the conclusion of <em>Hereditary</em> feels especially satisfying depends on whichever interpretation of horror the audience feels inclined to follow.</p> <strong>Click to continue reading <a href="https://ift.tt/2sIRWc2 Ending Explained</a></strong><br /><br /> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://ift.tt/2sIRWc2 Ending Explained</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://ift.tt/2KVjJNT>
