Movies Like Hereditary
Hereditary starts at a funeral and never lets the Graham family out of its grip: grief that turns into blame, a house full of things nobody says aloud, and dread that tightens one dinner at a time. The films below share that slow, suffocating pressure, from rituals hiding in plain sight to homes that turn on the people inside them.
