On the surface, Hereditary appears to be a standard supernatural thriller. It follows the Graham family—Annie (Toni Collette), Steve (Gabriel Byrne), Peter (Alex Wolff), and Charlie (Milly Shapiro)—following the death of their secretive grandmother. However, Ari Aster uses this setup to subvert expectations. The film is less about jump scares and more about the horror of trauma and inherited mental illness.
