Hereditary Movie Reaction

Incredibly late to the party here, just wanna say Hereditary is one of my favorite horror films. Crazy that it was one of 2 movies you guys have ever reacted to lol. There's a huge market in film reactions and I hope you guys venture out.

I can’t believe no one has recommended Park Chan-wook movies yet. Oldboy is a good one to react to. Best if you have no idea what it’s about. Then the most recent ones: ‘The Handmaiden’ and ‘Decision to Leave’ are both masterpieces.

This movie was so weird. I hope you react to more movies.

also the Miyasaki movies, highly recommend watching Spirited away!

“A Silent Voice” iS A MUST WATCH !!! its an animated movie, very beautiful, very focused on the characters, and totally worth your time! i would loveeee to see you two react to it🫡💕

Unrelated but if you girls enjoyed the moms acting in this when you finish the wire if you haven’t watched it yet it might be cool to react to United States of Tara she was amazing in this

For Christmas, pls pls pls watch "It's a Wonderful Life" (the black-and-white original, not the awful colorized version) It's a Christmas classic in the US and Canada. I'm sure you will love it and it will give you a warm feeling for the new year (don't worry, it's not cheesy and it actually gets a bit dark)

Movies that I think have a lot of heart: Big Fish, The Princess Bride, Aftersun, The Whale.

I love how I just watched their reactions to the Attack on Titan Final episode and noticed they watched Hereditary. This movie is great!

I highly recommend watching The departed!! one of my favs

Really cool to see you guys dipping your toes into movie reactions! It'll be interesting to see how well it goes. Feels a bit weird since the channel has only been TV series. I have no idea what movies you guys have watched or not but I'll provide a list of films that I think you guys will enjoy based on shows you've watched and might make for good reactions. Blade Runner / Blade Runner 2049 Brothers End of Watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Inside Llewyn Davis Nightcrawler (literally anything with Jake Gyllenhaal lol) Prisoners Little Miss Sunshine Zodiac If I had to pick 1 that stands out from the list for you to watch, it'd be Zodiac.

It's pretty much a guarantee that they'll never watch Midsommar, I'm listening to the sublime soundtrack right now, the final track (Fire Temple) is so damn beautiful and terrifying. Seeing that for the first time in theatres was a total trip

Well, after watching I think either horror isn't the genre for you or this is a really bad movie to watch as a first horror movie as there's no expectations set. I'm not trying to be like "Well you didn't like it and I did so there must be SOMETHING wrong". Rather that since it's such a critically acclaimed film that made such a splash when it first came out and has so far stood the test of time, I'm trying to identify why you didn't connect with it much. I think you guys prefer stories that are driven by character arcs, rather than the character arcs being used to paint an overall feeling for the story (which horror usually does). So dramas are probably better for you, and this tracks with the anime you're more fond of since the characters follow that trend of storytelling. In that case it seems a bit silly to recommend more horror movies, but in case anyone in the comments liked/likes this movie, I'd recommend It Follows and The Blackcoat's Daughter / February. Random thoughts: • The new camera for the intro looks really good. • Lola saying in the intro that she has to drive home after watching made me chuckle. • I feel bad that you didn't have subtitles, I swear the characters in this mumble even more than the ones in Mr Robot lol. • It's been said but I'm surprised how much more sensitive to the scares Lola was, I think Milena dissociated a bit or couldn't take it seriously which is okay. I laughed a bit when seeing it in the theater the first time and was struck more by its absurd/surreal factor than the atmosphere and artfulness of it. • Damn though, you two had it OUT for Annie even though she's basically the protagonist. I felt bad that you didn't trust her lol (she was basically right on the money at the end even when she seemed her craziest -- she was rightfully panicked because she got duped into opening Pandora's box and fell right into the hands of the cult)

Dammit you two, I check your page every couple weeks for new shows just out of curiosity. I see this and now I have to resubscribe 😂 The same thing happened when you started Mr Robot Well, to be fair I was gonna become a patron again for the Attack on Titan full reaction either way but I didn't expect this. It's the exact film I recommended a little bit ago when you started Midnight Mass. Hi again to anyone I conversed with in the comments during my time as patron, hope you're going well

Some recommends based on your preferences: "The Truman Show" (1998) & "Aftersun" (2022) & "La Haine" (1995)

Moonlight is one I think you'd get a lot out of since you're very intuitive when it comes to themes of trauma. it won best picture some years back during the envelope mishap at the Oscars

btw, just created a whole new letterboxd account because i either deleted/forgot the password and email of the last one. feel free to follow My profile on Letterboxd https://boxd.it/7rPTf

Lol people are recommending such random and weird things, I feel like we gotta get through some more widely liked stuff first. Personally would love to see some classics. But honestly it is weird how even though I'm a big movie guy, I'm finding it difficult to recommend films you'd like because in my mind the way y'all engage with media is so suited to television. But I am very excited for this new phase.

Oh, and now I'm glad my sister basically forced me to watch this movie with her... I'm a scared cat like Milena, this is one of the only horror movies I've watched in my life (do I intend to watch more? hell no!)

Yaay! I'm glad you are giving a try to movie reactions. I'm pretty sure a lot of people have already recommended it, but Koe no Katachi (A Silent Voice) is a must watch

to everyone commenting on arrival... sorry to say this but at lola watched it already and milena fell asleep during the movie, so i don't think that will happen. there's a bucnh of great movies i'd love to recommend but you've mentioned a couple times you've watched them like little women or mad max.

Just wanna throw in some more random movie recommendations: The Silence of the Lambs, Red Eye, The Negotiator, Searching, Happy Death Day, Frequency, Mulholland Drive, K-PAX, Watchmen, Léon, Inception, The Trueman Show, The Last Dual, Zootopia, Wreck-it Ralph, Back to the Future trilogy (if you haven't watched it), etc.

Anyone have any timestamps for good jumpscare reactions? Don't want to watch the movie but wouldn't mind a laugh haha

I am like Milena and don't really like horror movies so I think I'll skip Hereditary. But I would LOVE LOVE LOVE you guys to react to Your Name. I think it would be such an amazing movie to react to. Arrival also up there as one of my favorite movies and would be an amazing reaction (although maybe you've seen it already?)

Oh my god amazing, what a good movie for it!

Oh, I was hoping for The Bear finale 🤔 As for movies, just to add something classic: Casablanca, 12 Angry Men, Psycho (or Rear Window)

I also want to recommend another film that may not even be known to many people: Michael Mann's Collateral, starred by Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. I think this is the only movie in which Tom Cruise played the villain's role? And the movie really has a unique style that I could never forget.

Has anyone here watched Bullet Train? It has a Tarantino vibe (although it's not his film) and is just really fun to watch. It's probably the most interesting movie I watched in 2022 and I strongly recommend the girls to watch it.

I would love for you guys to react to some movies by my favourite director: Denis Villeneuve. Sicario, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, Dune. The guy can't miss!

The Sixth Sense is a good one.

I'm glad that Milena also hates horror movies cause I do too so there's no shot I'm watching this with yall. Anyway watch Lady Bird.

In Bruges for a comedy drama, Drive My Car for a drama (3 hour+), The Rescue (doco), Bong Joon Ho's korean movies

I remember this movie being a lot better. Watching it again this time it seemed a bit silly.

Moonlight 2016

some studio ghili films like spirited away or kiki’s delivery service might be a good landing spot after this uncut gems or grand budapest hotel would also be very fun aftersun, 20th century women, and frances ha are all great character dramas/coming of age stories they’d enjoy but maybe less popular

Any extra content from you two is an extremely welcome thing! I vote to make this a regular thing!

Arrival

Arrival :)

need to put together a letterbox movie collection so the patrons can recommend good films or something. would love to see more movie reactions in the future!

Have you guys watched interstellar or little women?

Godfather 1 and 2 if you haven't seen them yet. Classics.

Well I managed to watch the whole movie with the reaction and I'll only say a couple of things: (1) Milena's hilarious comments throughout the film helped me a lot to take the stress off and finish watching LOL (2) (Spoilers) What I liked the most is the constant ambiguity between whether what happens is a product of something supernatural or a mental health issue. The direction of the film does an excellent job with that. One more thing... I highly recommend this analysis: https://youtu.be/b0KbZl4upQQ Helped me a lot to deepen the interpretation of several details in the movie

Black swan ?

10 less-reacted-to movies I guarantee you'll love and will generate great analysis discussion for your channel: The Fugitive, True Grit (2010), Beverly Hills Cop, Stand By Me, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Misery, My Cousin Vinny, Groundhog Day, Crimson Tide, A League of Their Own.

It's not a movie, but I strongly recommend watching the Japanese drama 'Legal High'

I gotta say, I wasn't expecting Lola to be the jumpy one here, she spent half the movie covering her face lol, that was really fun guys. I want to double down on the "Arrival" recommendation made earlier by @Jack SV, I think it's a sci fi movie you'd really enjoy

BOLD first choice. I love it.

pps... sorry, me again. but i remember you mentioned in the q&a you'd link your letterboxd profiles since you don't log in movies on tv time. so if you start using them i'd love to follow you two there too.

also, the handmaiden by park chan-wook will always be my first recommendation. such a great movie. the nice guys, hilarious comedy and very well acted. one of my favourite movies actually. i know you said no horrors... but i love me some slashers so maybe some classics like the texas chainsaw massacre or nightmare on elm street. the first saw movie is actually a fucking amazing movie and not all that gorey. a non horror could be throuogbreds with anya taylor-joy and olivia cooke. really good movie too. and i agree, your name is an amazing movie and i think you would love it. but my knowledge of anime movies is limited. i've only watched a few. to be fair if you've never been movie persons there's thousands of movies out there that you could love. well, this was a joy to watch but it's 4am and i need to be up in a few hours. hope we can see a bottoms reaction soon though... also, shiva baby by emma seligman is a short one and it'd be great too.

milena just snorting at random moments had me rolling bxhzjaj this was a hilarious reaction.

I believe the Mike Flanagan film you are thinking of is "Hush". He has made a few movies and almost all of them have had Kate in them, but Hush is the one she stars in. It is a good movie and I think you would "enjoy" watching it, more than you did Hereditary 😄

Oh and if an anime film doesn't sound appealing, my movie suggestion is Pulp Fiction. I remember you saying you hadn't watched it yet, and I'm sure lots of others here would love to see you watch it too. One of the highest regarded screenplays in cinema history with regards to dialogue. I'll keep all other details a secret, other than the fact that it's not a horror film 😅

Just finished the reaction. I don't think it's a stretch to say that Hereditary deserves to be renowned as one of the greatest contemporary horror films going. Ari Aster completely surpassed his short film days to be able to blend psychological terror and gallows humour seamlessly. Aster is probably the only director to match the same standard that Kubrick reached with The Shining in this regard, and he did it with his debut effort. Being able to keep the audience on their edge of their seat whilst being transparent with where your story is going every step of the way takes an incrdible amount of skill. I'm glad that Midsommar was so widely acclaimed but I don't think it comes close to what is just a perfect blend of tension, character study, and occult. Watching it vicariously through a fresh set of eyes really helped me appreciate just how on top of the game Aster was. Aaaaand I knew the girls would not feel the same way lmao. Milena's commentary was hilarious tho, and again it was very rewarding to feel as though I was watching it for the first time all over again with the girls. It'd be interesting if they gave us particular genres or themes or eras to pick from each month for our suggestions. It's a bit scattershot with all of us suggesting everything under the sun, especially given that we have no idea what they have haven't seen. Maybe the girls could make a poll with 5 - 10 different movies for us to vote on each month, the movies being the titles they see us comment all the time. Anyways this was highly enjoyable, thanks girls!

Under The Skin

I have a few technical suggestions to make these film reactions easier to watch and enjoy. A time stamp of when the reaction begins is good. That way if a viewer gets distracted during the intro and misses the start they can quickly start syncing again. A lot of reaction channels have the video of the material blurred and this helps enormously when trying to get a reaction and your copy into sync. As long as a viewer can tell when the scene changes it makes syncing so much easier than trying to do it with sound. If the videos are not synced, I can quickly make adjustments by pausing one of the videos to get lined back up. This is especially true with films because different versions of the films often have different production logos at the start so the actual start time of the movie is different. Please don't take these suggestions as some kind of insult. I really enjoy your reactions, but ease of use can make a world of difference.

My first time being saddened by your takes on something. But if horror is not for you, nothing I can do😭. I will say great catch in calling the clicking a bird sound! There's evidence that Paimon's true form is that of a bird. The bandage on Peter's nose almost giving him a beak like presence, also. At the end of the day, can you give it up for Toni Collette??? The acting from her is one of the best I think you girls have viewed on here.

HEREDITARY OMG ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES EVER

I think if you guys watch a horror movie, you need to watch something that contains more comedy, especially for Milena's sake. There is horror out there that is entertaining and has fun bits. For example, "IT" is a great horror film that has entertaining and lovable characters with pretty solid dynamics and the scares are great! Also, I think Milena was less scared because she was gearing to get horrified but was given trauma dump, haha.

Damn. Wish this was getting edited bc idk where to find a copy :/

best horror movie of the century

Got my copy ready, let's do this ladies!

People have been recommending anime films, and though I'm sure Your Name would be enjoyable, I'd much prefer them seeing some classic anime films such as Akira, Ghost In The Shell, Perfect Blue, or even Paprika. They're films the girls probably wouldn't watch only for them being recommended to do so, it'd be nice to see them watch something totally different than what they're used to.

There's a new Mike Flannagan show called "The Fall of the House of Usher" that I hope you react to.

Some people have said this already, but I’m surprised y’all started off with this 😂 Recommendations: Cloverfield (horror), Seven (crime thriller), Friday (comedy), Blindspotting (comedy-drama) , Training Day (crime thriller)

Lola watching The Wire: "I love these kids" Lola watching Hereditary: "I hate children"

Hmm idk what type of movies you guys might like but I will throw this recommendation anyways. I suggest watching Arrival(2016) it’s a sci-fi movie that deals with aliens, language barriers but also deals with lost. It’s one of the very few movies that actually made me cry at the end lol. If you guys are ever in the mood for sci-fi I would start with that one.

sweet... I want to see this!

omg who told them to watch this one first? Haven't watched the reaction yet but surprised they got through it despite being one of my favourite modern horror films. Maybe next one go something lighter like Spirited Away though Not exactly light but I still recommend Moonlight. Beautiful film that I think they would find sad but also have a lot to talk about

Are you still posting The Bear today or has this taken that slot ?

Lola: "I have to drive home tonight" 💀💀💀

It says video does not exist. Does it say that for anyone else?

fuck. pray for me, friends. Haven't seen before. WIll report back

Just waiting for the day the fellowship of the ring appears on the feed 😇

I absolutely hate watching horror movies, I haven't seen one in years and I can't believe I'll actually try to watch this with you :( I'll let you know if I manage to finish the movie Oh and I would recommend watching Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (HBO). Beautiful film

no way 😭this is one of my fav horror films im so excited for this as for movies frances ha (greta gerwig stars in it) and shiva baby are both short and probably something you’d like! suspiria 2018 is another artsy horror movie in this same vein as hereditary

Oh, I know this is gonna be good.

Whoever told you to watch this movie just wanted to see both of you suffer lol

What we do in the shadows (2014)

Scariest film I’ve seen personally

There are a million good movies out there Animated and live action so I honestly don’t know where to start haha but I’d recommend the movie “Your name” or another one called “Josee the tiger and the fish” both animated series.

This is a really cool revelation. A full LOTR trilogy reaction was teased during The Rings of Power reactions. I'd love to see that especially as Lolo is an expert and Milena is a newbie.

Cool, maybe you guys might like the new animated Spider-Man spider verse movies, (Into) then (Across). They’re fun and In my opinion have good heartfelt moments.

Speaking of films. Will you guys be reacting to the final attack on titan. This Saturday?

Lord of the Rings, given the history, is the only sensible movie suggestion

lets gooooo!!! movie reactions i would like to see: Parasite, Ex Machina, The Grand Budapest Hotel (any Wes Anderson really), Everything Everywhere All At Once, Spider-Verse (both movies), Knives Out, Gone Girl, Scott Pilgrim, anything Ghibli (Spirited Away), Hot Fuzz

currently looking for my hard drive so i can put on the movie and watch along. guess tonight i will be dreaming of that fucking sound charlie made

best anime movies u should watch are A silent voice, i want to eat your pancreas (i need to see your reaction to this) and Your name

Woo-hoo! Been excited for this one

This is the best cure to my late night partying, I’m so drunk but I can definitely fall asleep to this thanks. Especially during since I like horror movies so hope you react to more. :)

Lol this is gonna be wild. Does this mean The Bear finale isn't tonight?

My movie recommendation is: Saving Private Ryan

Great day to be alive

I've wanted to try this one but I've been too scared. Watching it through the filter of your reactions should help lol. As far as recommendations, there's a great comedy with Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy called "Bowfinger" about a struggling Hollywood director trying to get a delusional movie star to act in his new film.

OMG YES!!!!!!!!!!

I still can't believe Milena's agreed to watch this lmao. My apologies in advance for the enjoyment I'm gonna get out of her suffering 😅

Dear God I actually cannot believe I'm about to watch y'all react to this hahahaha, I've my tea in hand, let's do it 😎

omg yay! im excited to watch this and watch you guys react to more movies! Ill think of some to recommend y’all (: thank you!

omfg? i can't believe you made milena watch hereditary jdhdhsjsj you started it with a bang that movie is fucking nuts and the last part is scary as fuck

I want to watch this but I’m too scared LOL

YES I love Hereditary

Train to Busan! For the next movie pleaseeee

YESSSSSSSSS LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I’m all for movie reactions and I will not be watching this I’m too much of a baby thank you very much
