Über diesen Film

When Ellen, the matriarch of the Graham family, passes away, her daughter's family begins to unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their ancestry. The more they discover, the more they find themselves trying to outrun the sinister fate they seem to have inherited. Making his feature debut, writer-director Ari Aster unleashes a nightmare vision of a domestic breakdown that exhibits the craft and precision of a nascent auteur, transforming a familial tragedy into something ominous and deeply disquieting, and pushing the horror movie into chilling new terrain with its shattering portrait of heritage gone to hell.

Bewertungen und Rezensionen

It rides the edge of being a little too slow, but that allows you to take in the detail. Every little thing you see and hear seems to have a connection at the end. The end is a little hammy, but the conclusion is what you're really after. It's not GREAT but it's definitely good and one of the better horror movies I've seen in a while. I'll remember this one.

This movie is undeniably wonderfully made, but to me it wasn't scary. It is disturbing and unsettling, I walked out of the theatre with a crawling feeling all over my body. However, severe trigger warning to anyone who has experienced true loss. Many of the scenes are so horrific to watch. As mush as I say I didn't like it, for some reason I keep coming back to this movie. I guess if I ever want to feel entirely unsettled, this is what I watch. Definitely not for everyone, but if you want your skin to crawl in discomfort, this is what you need.

I wanted to watch it in english with my girlfriend, but the movie always has german audio, no matter what we do, change the google settings, the movie & TV settings, nothing works. Super unsatisfied with my purchase. The movie should have told me up front, very uncool only having it in german. Once I see the movie in my preferred language I will actually rate the movie, but before that it will keep that one star.
