just because the last trailer we've gotten has shown a burning body and a kid bloodying his face against the desk the tiresome cliché "Scariest film since The Exorcist." is being used once again sure the film looks creepy . but Scariest film since The Exorcist is a bit too much when The Exorcist hit theatres it had the same effect Jaws did folks were scared shitless of both films. Hereditary may be a good movie but I don't see it being the scariest since The Exorcist

I haven't even seen the first Exorcist. Yet I never buy that promotional tagline whenever the latest horror movie comes out and is a critical darling.

Any time a horror movie has to use that tagline or others like it, there's a good chance it's going to suck. Also, it has now raised its expectations to a level that will never be met.

You're not wrong... ...But, I do have high hopes for this film. I think a lot of the critically embraced festival favorites in the genre from the last several years have generally proved to be quite good.

What an insult to the whole horror genre, that they should imply that there hasn't been a worthy horror movie since 1973. Just say it's scary and market it that way, comparisons don't help.

I'm wondering if the film will be more along the lines of "Bug" (from the Director of "The Exorcist") "Bug" was falsely marketed as a traditional horror film to scathing reactions. It was a psychological film. Not a Creature feature or slasher.

That's not saying much. The Exorcist isn't scary.

That's cool. I've really only watched the,"Mother's Day" promo. It honestly looked like she loses her shit and goes on a killing spree.

I know reading the plot description doesn't mean anything, but it made it seem so formulaic and nothing that hasn't been done a million times. But everyone is freaking out about it - guess I'm gonna have to check it out.

But everyone is freaking out about it - guess I'm gonna have to check it out. you really should. i can promise you one thing / its not formulaic and it does deliver new ways to build tension and scare people. its quite original actually. go and enjoy.

I got some major goose flesh at the end of Les Diaboliques and 10 years ago I got the jitters while watching What Lies Beneath during a rainstorm , seen it since without the weather and it did not have the same effect. I think they should do screenings of Jaws with a big screen on the beach and all the chairs floating in the ocean, that would be scary. Or watching blair witch (which isnt scary at all) on a laptop in the woods at night by yourself haha
