20 Awesome Horror Movies With No Sequels

Hereditary is quite arguably the single greatest horror film of the past decade - an astonishingly confident and well-crafted directorial debut for Ari Aster, which fused incredible performances with outstanding style and tonal work.

Between the overwhelming acclaim and mighty box office performance, one can imagine that A24 would've loved to greenlight a sequel, seemingly chronicling King Paimon's reign of terror on Earth.

But some eight years later it remains a near-perfect one-off, with Aster building out a filmography of immensely daring genre-bending work ever since.

Hereditary 2 hasn't happened, then, though there is a little wrinkle here - in a 2023 Q&A, Aster did reveal that he actually came up with an idea for Hereditary 2, though coyly questioned whether he'd actually make it.

Considering the enormous creative leeway Aster is given nowadays with films like Beau Is Afraid and Eddington, no matter their commercial underperformance, it's frankly tough to imagine him going to the franchise well.

And so, it's safe to say that Hereditary 2 will almost certainly never happen.
