Hereditary (2018)

Hereditary surrounds a family who is suffering from a tragedy with Annie’s (Toni Collette) death of her mother. Ever since her death, weirder things have been happening, making it seem something more sinister is at play.

I remember seeing the trailer for Hereditary in the theaters and I decided right away not to see the film in theaters. I don’t get scared easily with horror films, but this film surprised me right from the get-go because it flipped horror tropes on their head. It plays more like a family drama who are falling farther and farther apart and filled with psychological horror.

Top 10 Films of 2018

2018 is officially over and what a year it has been. 2018 has been a bit disappointing movie wise because while I liked a lot of films, this year’s films ultimately didn’t stick with me as they have done before, there weren’t many films that I absolutely loved and remembered. And keep in mind that I still haven’t seen some of the newer released Oscar buzz films like If Beale Street Could Talk or Burning.

Honorable Mentions: Never Goin’ Back, Eighth Grade, Black Panther, The Hate U Give,  Mission Impossible: Fallout, Annihilation, and Bad Times at the El Royale.  These are all great films that I debated putting on this list, but didn’t make the cut.

10 Most Anticipated Films for 2018

2017 was a good year in film but 2018 looks to be an even better year! Here’s my list for films I’m most looking forward to in 2018.

Honorable Mentions: Dark Phoenix, New Mutants (both X-Men films), Venom, Ocean’s 8, Mary Poppins Returns, and A Quiet Place

10. Ready Player One – I really enjoyed the novel so I’m excited to see what Steven Spielberg’s will do with it.

9. Wreck It Ralph 2 – I only recently saw Wreck It Ralph and I really enjoyed it. Now all the Disney Princess are supposed to make an appearance in the second one and I am here for it.

8. Isle of Dogs – Such a huge fan of Wes Anderson and his unique and quirky style in all his films. Also glad to see him do a stop motion animation film again.

7. Ant-Man and the Wasp – I really liked the first Ant-man. But I am so ready to see more female superheroes and finally see the Wasp put on the costume this time around.
