Anyone going to see Hereditary??

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.

Not sure if I can it in a movie theater.......might wait for tv version then can control the pace.

I am talking the freddie kruger, jason types. One, I know they fiction and usually there are ludicrous plot devices. Same with most monster movies. I find them entertaining, though I have to admit that Alien had me on the edge of my seat.

Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan, those movies stunned me and horrified me.

For a fee of $9.95 a month you can see a movie a day all month long. The app limits you to only seeing a particular movie 1 time and it doesn't cover the higher end movies with all the bells and whistles. There are 8 theaters around where I live who accept the pass and I have already seen 10 movies this month. I figure by the time I see my 3rd movie I am saving money. I figure if I see 2-3 movies a week it is cheaper than cable/satellite and I see first run movies. It is a great deal if you have a few theaters in your area who will accept the pass.

I have created an Excel spread sheet to track movie release dates.
