Hereditary

Ari Aster's breakthrough horror debut, "Hereditary," was bolstered by skeleton bones in his closet (no, none of this is your business; Aster would want to maintain it that way for the time being. Do not question). Aster slithers away from any queries regarding the plot's personal beginnings. The director of one of the scariest films in history has shocked viewers since its Sundance debut with its depiction of a family devastated by dark forces.

"I'm not comfortable being specific about it," he added, repeating a remark that has become an interview cliché. "It's simpler for me to refuse to elaborate.

While Aster's film achieved immediate success, the plot of "Hereditary" took years to build and developed out of profound emotional scars. This is hardly your typical summer blockbuster, but we are living in unexpected times. Since Aster penned the first draft of "Hereditary" eight years ago, the autobiographical background has been a central theme. Danny DeVito, who took part in producing an initial version of the script, believed Aster's utilization of his own personality has elevated "Hereditary."
