À propos de ce 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.

Notes et avis

Terrifying reminder of what happens when you seek out psychic and mediums and communicate with the dead. This - is - what - happens. Ever wonder why houses burn down, or why the prisons are filled with people? I had a lady tell me a demonic portal was in her home and she was going to burn it down. She did it while I was there trying to stop her. They said I saved the kid, the arson investigators. She was out of her mind from practicing sorcery, just another form of witchcraft. If you're practicing speaking to the dead now, stop immediately and repent. Madness and devils are in your future. Not a curse but a Biblical truth. Consider yourself warned.

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.

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.
