What made Ari Astar’s 2018 film, Hereditary, so chilling was the skilled build up to each scene. Most horror films have no subtlety whatsoever that rely on constant jump scares and the sudden heightening of audio effects.

While I can see what the film is going for, I think it’s missing a few key steps in making the whole thing work properly.
