[Spoilers] I finally watched Hereditary (lemmy.world)

Hey guys so I finally watched Hereditary, let me preface by saying that I have a problem with horror movies because I watched so many growing up that they all feel the same to me, so I can't watch any of the Paranormal Activities or Annabelles or any of those pop horror movies.

That said there were some horror movies that I enjoyed, Get Out, Bird Box and Midsommar and Cabin in the Woods (for different reasons) come to mind.

After hearing so much praise over the years I finally decided to watch Hereditary and let me tell you it was a big disappointment, at 1 hour runtime I found myself playing with my phone because it was soooooo slow and it didn't get better from there, the plot was very basic, cult tricks someone into summoning a demon (a tale as old as time) and the payoff was very mid.

The ambiance and overall look were very cool, but that's all. What is your opinion on this movie I need to know if I'm crazy?

Nah, I have the same issue with horror movies. The paranormal activities and exorcist type movies are not scary at all for me. I enjoy slasher movies more. Not that they scare me, I just find them hilarious.
