25 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Of Summer 2018 - Ranked

7. Hereditary

Hereditary Toni Collette
A24

Release Date: June 8

Billed As: A woman (Toni Collette) struggles to cope with the death of her mother, coming to believe that a malevolent presence may remain in the family home with ill intentions towards her own daughter (Milly Shapiro).

Hype: Hereditary has earned rapturous reviews ever since its Sundance premiere, with critics praising it as an uncommonly thoughtful, character-driven horror film with a central performance from Toni Collette that some have even deemed awards worthy.

The trailer certainly sells the film as an atmospheric slow-burn that's going to deliver both low-key chills and some utterly insane set-pieces. It probably won't light up the box office, but it's practically destined to be one of the summer's best-reviewed films regardless.
