New 'Hereditary' Trailer Is Chock Full o' Nope

Is Milly Shapiro the new Millie Bobby Brown?

While movie fans are currently buzzing over the silently scary A Quiet Place, a new trailer for A24's horror-hit-in-the-making Hereditary just dropped in all its blazing glory. The horror/drama earned its own buzzworthy status early this year when it premiered at Sundance, followed by an appearance just last month at SXSW. Now, it's poised to be a breakout hit to start off the summer season, and as this new trailer confirms, it's sure to bring plenty of chills and thrills.

Fans of the film have already drawn comparisons to horror icons like The Exorcist and Firestarter, though there are also hints of more contemporary twists on the genre like The Babadook and Under the Shadow, and it's plain to see that the Stranger Things effect is still in full swing. Hereditary will certainly be its own thing ... a very, very creepy thing. The first atmospheric and adrenaline-pumping trailer introduced the family drama at the center of the horror film that drives the action and ratchets up the tension, and I'm happy to say this new trailer keeps that spirit intact.

Writer-director Ari Aster's feature horror debut stars Toni Collette, Gabriel Byrne, Alex Wolff, and Milly Shapiro, and opens June 8th against Ocean's 8.

Check out the creepified new trailer for Hereditary below:

From Ari Aster and starring Toni Collette, Gabriel Byrne, Alex Wolff, and Milly Shapiro – Coming June 8, 2018.

Here’s the official synopsis:

“When Ellen, the matriarch of the Graham family, passes away, her daughter’s family begins to unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their ancestry. The more they discover, the more they find themselves trying to outrun the sinister fate they seem to have inherited. Making his feature debut, writer-director Ari Aster unleashes a nightmare vision of a domestic breakdown that exhibits the craft and precision of a nascent auteur, transforming a familial tragedy into something ominous and deeply disquieting, and pushing the horror movie into chilling new terrain with its shattering portrait of heritage gone to hell.”
