The premise
Following the death of the Leigh family matriarch, Annie and her children uncover disturbing secrets about their heritage. Their daily lives are not only impacted, but they also become entangled in a chilling fate from which they cannot escape, driving them to the brink of madness.
Horror Vault's take
When the Graham family's secretive matriarch passes away, her death opens a door to something far darker than ordinary grief. Artist and miniaturist Annie begins piecing together the disturbing truth about her family's history — a truth that threatens to consume everyone she loves. Director Ari Aster constructs a suffocating atmosphere of dread that escalates from quiet family drama into full-blown terror. Few debut features have announced a filmmaker's vision this ferociously.
