Hereditary

Ari Aster's 2018 debut weaponized grief into the most disturbing family drama ever filmed. Toni Collette delivers a performance so raw it should have won the Oscar she was never nominated for. The telephone pole scene is the single most shocking moment in 21st-century horror — a quiet, ordinary tragedy that detonates the entire film. By the final act, you're not watching a horror movie. You're trapped inside one.
