- Marco Albanese @ Stanze di Cinema [Italian]
- Excerpt: Non è un caso allora che Aster abbia dichiarato che la storia di Hereditary gli sia stata suggerita dalle difficoltà e dalle traversie, affrontate dalla sua famiglia, nel corso di un periodo lungo tre anni. Nell’horror il regista ha trovato il modo di esorcizzarle, sublimandole in un racconto ancestrale e misterioso.
- David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: As things become increasingly unhinged, Hereditary becomes more and more frightening, submerging the viewers in horror rather than splashing them with occasional waves.

- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: This deeply disturbing horror film does not need the supernatural in order to worm its way into the darkest recesses of your psyche where it will unhinge you on a primal level
- Karl Delossantos @ Smash Cut Reviews
- Excerpt: Hereditary may be slow-burn, but it burns bright and intense. With some of the most unsettling horror images and setpieces, it is one of the best horror movies in recent memory.
- Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: I wouldn’t go as far as to say that I loved Hereditary, but I had a really great time with it. It’s a smart and artfully constructed horror film, yet surprisingly fun in its approach with a number of awesome scares, a killer atmosphere, and nifty stylistic flourishes
- Bavner Donaldo @ Cinejour [Indonesian]
- Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered
- Excerpt: It’s gonna scare you, your parents, grandparents, and won’t stop until ancestors 10 generations back can sense your fear.
- M. Enois Duarte @ HighDefDigest.com
- Excerpt: Writer-director Ari Aster makes his feature-length directorial debut in Hereditary, an exceptionally masterful horror film demonstrating Aster as a highly promising talent. Starring Toni Collette in arguably the greatest performance of her career, the story of a family teetering on the brink of insanity after a tragic loss is ultimately a drama at heart immersed in a palpably-thick atmosphere of apprehension and dread that slowly unfolds to a spine-chilling conclusion.
- James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
- Federico Furzan @ Cinelipsis [Spanish]
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Much of the credit for the film’s success goes to Toni Collette in a portrayal that is certain to remain among the very best of the year. She is a mother shaken to her very core by the events around her.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: “Hereditary” knocks you on your ass, festers under your skin, and leaves one haunted long after the end credits.
- Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
- Excerpt: After a seven-year career as a short filmmaker, Ari Aster has made the transition to features with this chilling and unexpected horror gem. “Hereditary” is the story of a mother dealing with grief over the death of her own mother while her family struggles with her increasing paranoia.
- Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: A creepy, cryptic horror tone poem about coping with grief and loss that rattles and shakes in deep, profound ways.
- Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge
- Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: There’s so much happening that it’s difficult to talk too much without full-on spoilers. Just know that the two-hour-plus runtime is airtight.

- Excerpt: The biggest Horror suprise of 2018
- Kristy Puchko @ Riot Material
- Excerpt: Hereditary is graceful and relentless horror. It’s a ballet of menace. Its savage suspense twisted my guts into knots and raised goosebumps so violently they ached.
- James Roberts @ Glide Magazine
- Excerpt: It is an unrelentingly creepy film that stands firmly next to generational standard bearers like The Exorcist or The Shining. It is malicious in its approach and absolutely unhinged.
- Júlio Cézar Rodrigues @ Megalomania Cultural [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Gracefully filmed, in an almost european style, gradually tense, technically superb and acted with vigor, this horror movie is memorable, mesmerizing and terrifying.
- Amir Siregar @ Amir at the Movies [Indonesian]
- Excerpt: Bleak, intense, and fucked-up creepy with the year’s most terrifying performance from Toni Collette that slowly crawls underneath your skin.
- Robert Yaniz Jr. @ Crooked Table
