| Ari Aster, writer-director of Hereditary |
Ari Aster’s film Hereditary arrives in the UK this week on a wave of critical adulation, the scale of which few film-makers will ever experience. What makes it so astonishing is that Aster, 31, is just beginning his career.
When Hereditary bowed in the Midnight section of the Sundance Film Festival in January, its distressing mix of intense family drama and gruesome supernatural horror left critics feeling disturbed and shaken. It was “this generation’s The Exorcist”, proclaimed one (a little hyperbolically, to be fair), and the most frightening films in years, chimed many.
Tellingly, the buzz hadn’t died down by June 8, the day Hereditary opened in the United States, when it was still rated 98% fresh on film review site Rotten Tomatoes and 86% positive (“Universal acclaim”) on Metacritic.
