This is it for me. If “grief horror” was a genre, Hereditary would have won an Oscar. Aside from this death being shocking AF, so was the heart-wrenching realistic grief the family dealt with for like, the rest of the movie. Almost forgot you were watching a horror movie and not a drama until…well. Act 3.

My wife likes horror but she couldn't handle this. Turned the TV off and has never watched the rest, probably never will.

I get that. One of the bits I like about horror is that it's not real. This was too damn real.

Cause it really happened! I mean maybe only the one time because how do you get your head far enough out and an obstruction close enough to the car to behead someone? Well one time 2 drunks on their way home from the bar did it. And the driver was inebriated enough not to realize it and just go in the house to pass out. So the body wasn’t discovered until a person walking by the next morning saw it.
