15 Most Overrated Horror Films Since 2000

15. Hereditary

Rotten Tomatoes: 89% (Average Score: 8.28/10)

IMDb: 7.3

First things first: it cannot be denied that the majority of Hereditary is a complete home run. The direction is phenomenal, Toni Collette is outstanding and the film does a far, far better job of combing its shocks with affecting drama than writer-director Ari Aster's next film, Midsommar, did (more on that in a little while), so why is it on this list?

The answer is simple: the ending is embarrassingly bad and damn-near ruins the entire film. In a short space of time, this goes from a horrifying supernatural drama to a horrifyingly bad schlock-fest of people flying around and being possessed in an unintentionally hilarious manner. Alex Wolff also gives a terrible performance as the protagonist's son, making this final act even worse.

So yes, Hereditary is great for most of its run-time but can it really be called a five-star modern horror classic when the ending is this awful?
