Episode 5 - Hereditary

On this weeks SPOOKY episode of Friends with Cinefits, Cain Dennis (@iamcaindennis) joins Alex to review Ari Aster's 2018 film Hereditary. This film about grief, family, and trauma is an accurate depiction of human horror. Hereditary doesn't have the jump scares of the typical horror movies, instead it continuously builds emotion until the violent climax of the movie. We highly recommend giving this movie a watch, if you can handle it!
