Trailer and Poster Arrive For Horror Film Hereditary

A24 has released a trailer and poster for the upcoming horror film Hereditary. It was written and directed by Ari Aster, with Lars Knudsen and Kevin Frakes producing. The film, which recently premiered at Sundance, will be released on June 8. It stars Toni Collette, Alex Wolff, Milly Shapiro, Ann Dowd and Gabriel Byrne.

Here’s a synopsis: When Ellen, the matriarch of the Graham family, passes away, her daughter’s family begins to unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their ancestry. The more they discover, the more they find themselves trying to outrun the sinister fate they seem to have inherited. Making his feature debut, writer-director Ari Aster unleashes a nightmare vision of a domestic breakdown that exhibits the craft and precision of a nascent auteur, transforming a familial tragedy into something ominous and deeply disquieting, and pushing the horror movie into chilling new terrain with its shattering portrait of heritage gone to hell.
