Many films get sold as the most frightening thing you'll see all year, but in some cases it just may be true.
A24, the hit Indie studio behind hits like Lady Bird and documentary film Amy, has already delivered acclaimed horror films such as the gruesome Green Room and the emotionally fraught It Comes At Night.
Now the studio is giving us a domestic horror, centred around a family mourning the recent loss of the reclusive grandmother, Ellen.
Ellen's daughter, Annie Graham (Toni Collette) must pick up the pieces in the aftermath, supported by husband Steve Graham (Gabriel Byrne).

However, soon Annie begins to unravel some cryptic and earth-shattering secrets about her family's history and end up in a battle for survival that could end the family forever.
Could Annie's new friend Joan (The Handmaid's Tale's Ann Dowd) help her to battle the troubling horrors the Grahams are confronted with?
And how does it connect to Annie's increasingly sinister daughter Charlie (Milly Shapiro)?

Critics have heaped praise on the film, with The Independent calling it "the singularly most terrifying horror film in years", while The AV Club called it "the most traumatically terrifying horror movie in ages".
Toni Collette has also receive praise for her performance, with The AV Club calling it "an intense, phenomenally complex performance".
Sounds like quite the praise - but we reckon we shall wait and see ourselves.
The trailer alone gives us chills...
Hereditary is released in UK cinemas on June 15 2018.
