But if you’re late to the hype, never fear, because you’ll be able to see what all the fuss is about in the New Year. Directed by Ari Aster, Hereditary is set to land on the streamer on January 15, 2025, just shy of the sixth anniversary of its world premiere at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.
Hereditary was previously available on Prime Video and Max, but it’s now set to enter the living rooms of a whole new host of cinephiles. So, what’s the plot, and just how scary is it?. With Oscar-nominee Collette taking the lead, Hereditary tells the story of Annie who, after the death of her mother, descends into grief.
However, it isn’t long until peculiar things start happening as the family is tormented by the unravelling of terrifying secrets. As occurrences become more disturbing, and murky questions arise, the horrifying truth of Annie’s ancestry is revealed.
