Toni Collette stars in the bone-chilling new release, alongside Gabriel Byrne and Alex Wolff.
It’s about a family who starts to unravel following a bereavement – as the deceased grandmother continues to cast a chilling shadow over those she’s left behind.
The film debuted at the Sundance Film Festival and left critics shaken to the core – with The AV Club calling it “pure emotional terrorism”.
In the trailer alone, we see a pigeon being beheaded, a person on fire, and a swarm of ants crawling over a motionless person. It’s not for the faint of heart.
Colette said to Yahoo! Movies last year that this was “the hardest job of my life”.

“It surprised me every day,” she said.
“I think if I’d really contemplated it any more before I started, I might have just run the other way, because every day was just so much more full-on than I even anticipated. So I just had to take it one step at a time.
“But in a perverse way it was really satisfying, even though it was like twisting myself inside out.”
Colette has a busy year of releases: she’ll also play Margot in Into The Beautiful, a film alongside Judy Greer and Sophie Okonedo.
We’ll then see her alongside Clive Owen, Vanessa Redgrave, Gillian Anderson and Joanna Lumley among others in Andorra.
Hereditary is out in June in the USA, and is pending a UK release date.
