After attending the American Film Institute and receiving critical acclaim for a pair of short films he wrote and directed, Ari Aster was suddenly getting opportunities in Hollywood but after several feature length scripts got rejected, he decided to turn his attention back to horror — a genre he loved growing up but fundamentally avoided with his writing despite constantly focusing on bleak and dreary material.
What started as a film centered around a family tragedy and the trauma involved with the aftermath of a sudden death eventually transformed into what Aster called a “full bore nightmare.”
The film eventually landed at A24, a studio famous for backing projects that don’t fit into any easily described categories. The finished product delivered exactly what Aster promised as a family spirals into a pit of despair and they’re soon visited by a malevolent force with the cruelest intentions in mind…
In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to stick our heads out the window and swerve to miss the roadkill as we review the 2018 film “Hereditary”…
