Horror sensation 'Hereditary' is the scariest movie of 2018 and there's scientific evidence to prove that

A test conducted by distributors A24 shows that 'Hereditary' was most definitely one of the scariest movies of 2018

Ari Aster's debut directorial flick 'Hereditary' proved to be quite the success in the United States, as well as across the world. Hailed by critics as "truly, upsettingly powerful on an emotional level", the horror film went on to gross $79 million on a budget of just $10 million. 

Starring the likes of Toni Collette, Alex Wolff, Milly Shapiro, Ann Dowd, and Gabriel Bryne, 'Hereditary' follows a family haunted after the death of their secretive grandmother. A detailed description reads: "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."
