The scariest modern horror movie leaves Prime Video in a few days

In 2018, Ari Aster stands out as a new big name. He is making his first film “Heritage” and everyone agrees with that. Between a family drama and a nightmare journey, the feature film tells the story of a family whose quiet daily life turns into hell after their grandmother’s death.

After causing a stir at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2018, the film became a real success, beyond the niche of independent film lovers. At the global box office, he reached the highest point of the company A24 – a growing American-made house – collected more than $ 80 million.

On screen, Tony Colette portrays his mother and offers a few memorable moments, such as, by the way, the dinner scene, which is wrong. A worthy successor to William Friedkin’s “Exorcist” – which had already mixed the intimate drama genre with radical horror – the film addresses many issues, sometimes taboo, such as the show, the unspoken family and the impossible mourning.

“I imagined the family literally a victim of a curse, which allowed me to sublimate the emotions experienced by my loved ones in the horror film. Suffice it to say that the genre has great cathartic powerHe explains. And when you want to make a movie that reminds you of how unfair life is, horror works perfectly. It is a form of perverted space where the injustices of being are emphasized and even merriment takes place.”
