We don’t yet know exactly how scary the final cut of the A24 film will actually be when it finally debuts, but it’s fairly obvious that it’s not the type of movie that should be showing a trailer ahead of a screening of something like Peter Rabbit — a film largely built on fun pop culture references and slapstick humor.
Hereditary has quickly become one of the most notorious upcoming horror releases of 2018, with many drawing comparisons to The Exorcist.
The film has received an R classification from the MPAA, and the trailer alone promises intense violence (a man is set on fire…) and numerous disturbing elements.
