Editors' Picks: Our Favorite Things From the Week of June 34 of 9
Scary Movie of the Week
Hereditary, released in U.S. theaters this weekend, is not for the faint of heart. Some describe it as the scariest movie of the year. But director Ari Aster told us there is a genuine message behind the horror. "I hope that it functions as a serious film about grief and trauma while also being a very satisfying genre film," the filmmaker said to IMDb. He also revealed that the creepy tongue click that Milly Shapiro's character employs was "never really designed to be scary or creepy." He explained, "It was something I used to do as a kid." Once you've seen the movie, you'll never hear that sound in the same way again.
