Nope and nope I think what Khev is referring to is that he has his kids with him.
It’s A24’s highest earner so far lol

Yep and we've been so busy we haven't even gotten to see family flicks like Incredibles and JW let alone me catching Hereditary.

Same here no I2 or JW2 and honestly I don’t even want to see JW2 lol
My son isn’t even interested in I2 he’ll go for the popcorn but that’s about it I might just wait for bluray.
AntMan is our next movie opening night I never miss an MCU/SW movie opening night.
I HUGELY regret NOT seeing Hereditary with a packed audience though.

Is it really that much better with a packed crowd? I might just wait until it hits the local dollar theater then because those always pack 'em in when new movies first arrive.

In one way if you’re with an audience that loves this movie it must’ve been one hell of a rollercoaster ride but going by its D- cinemascore that was probably a rare occurrence lol
For me personally this movie makes any other possession/ghost movies other than the Exorcist/The Witch seem like flat 2 dimensional caricatures.
The drama and character arcs and world building in Conjuring, Annabelle, Insidious, Paranormal Activity even IT all pale in comparison to Hereditary.
Khev this movie is that brilliant.

Well damn then!
I saw A Quiet Place with a packed house and got to hear people freaking out when she stepped on the nail so I think it'll be fine if I see this one in a mostly empty auditorium. Audiences around me mostly suck with these types of flicks anyway. When I saw The VVitch opening week the theater was maybe 2/3 full and when it was over someone said "What the ****???" and another exclaimed "well that SUCKED!" so I doubt I'd be missing out on seeing Hereditary with the likes of them anyway, lol.
Not a huge auditorium but 40 minutes until showtime and this is the crowd that's already gathered for whatever the hell it is that I'm about to watch, lol:

Okay a few quick thoughts.
This is one of the best acted and directed horror movies ever. The dinner table scene where Annie explodes at Peter and Peter's silent reaction was as Oscar caliber as they come. A close second was Annie standing at the foot of Peter's bed giving her speech about how she tried to miscarriage. A+ work in front of and behind the camera from beginning to end. Well I *think* from beginning to end because here's the thing:
I didn't watch the ending. JAWS knows that at the end of the day as much as I enjoy the visceral experience of people facing overwhelming odds and terrors I do have a line that I never like to cross. I can't even put my finger on the exact line because for whatever reason The VVitch didn't cross it whereas a decidely non-demonic movie like "The Reef" did. I could see where Hereditary was going, saw that it was not going to have any kind of hopeful resolution and based on what happened to you know who on the side of the road I knew that it would pull no punches and would almost assuredly get worse.
There are certain images that I don't actually want in my head and I sensed that this movie was going there so I literally laid back, closed my eyes as soon as Peter woke up at the end and started looking for his mother, and simply listened to the entire finale. I briefly opened to see
and then I opened again to see
After that I was done. I heard the
but didn't watch it and only looked again as the credits began to play.
After coming home and reading the spoilers wow I'm glad that I did what I did. The finale sounded incredibly gruesome and obscene. Again, gruesome and obscene *for me.* I think for these types of films I just need even the faintest glimmer of hope, or like the case with The VVitch an acknowledgement of the forces of good even if the key players make a terrible choice and reject them. Hereditary played too much like the forces of Satan/evil were too powerful to be overcome.
Even The Exorcist had a "happy" ending of sorts (despite the erroneous theology that a Christian priest could be possessed, even for a second). Obviously that wasn't the case with this film. But like I said the drama and acting throughout were worth the price of admission and it was fun to hear the mostly full auditorium let out almost a unanimous "WTF???" at the end (even though I didn't initially know what they were WTFing about, lol.) People were laughing at how messed up the family drama was at times. One dude "clucked" a couple times and the girl sitting right next to me almost gave me a heart attack when she practically jumped out of her seat at the end of the "Nun" trailer at the beginning, lol.

Anne apparently attached to the ceiling like Spider-Man, obviously possessed, and banging her head on the ceiling as Peter cowered above
Peter lying in the flower bed, get possessed by Paimon, and look up to see what I assumed was Annie's body floating up into the tree house.
After that I was done. I heard the
"Heil Paimon, we reject the Trinity, bla bla bla"
