So I loved Hereditary. I loved the sadness about the movie. Are there any other movies that make you feel like what Hereditary does emotionally? I loved the horror and the plot twist too, but that‘s just an extra thing I adore. I’ve tried Midsommar, but I don’t think it’s as great. Any movies as sad as this one?

Heard Melancholia was very depressing

Have you seen ‘the killing of a sacred deer’ (2017) it’s an amazing film that gave me the same feeling as when i first watched hereditary and I think could be the type of film you’re looking for.

You should take a look at japanese horror movies like The Ring or The Grudge. If you like manga, Junji Ito will hit that spot between mystery and body horror. I think there are a few adaptations and an Anime anthology of some of his stories.

I‘ve already thought about it, but now I will actually do that. Thanks!

Maybe not obvious, but Banshees of Inisherin from this year. There are lots of sad movies but thought of this because it’s also a comedy, and the sadness only really creeps in when you think more deeply about it.
