The studio also writes of debut writer-direct Ari Aster, saying he "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."

A home entertainment release wouldn't be anything without a bonus feature - and Hereditary's Blu-ray release has eight.

There is also a featurette entitled "Cursed: The True Nature of Hereditary."

The trailer for Hereditary features startling imagery, like a swarm of ants, a headless pigeon and someone on fire.
