Summary: <p>We Quaran-Team Up with our boys, The Spook House Podcast for this week's episode. Please find them at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thespookhousepodcast">https://www.instagram.com/thespookhousepodcast</a> and <a href="https://thespookhousepodcast.bigcartel.com/">https://thespookhousepodcast.bigcartel.com/</a></p> <p>The film is Hereditary, you know that delightful little family movie. Oh, whoops, wrong "D" word, I meant devastating! </p> <p>After Ari Aster's ambitious student films, The Strange Thing About the Johnsons and, Munchausen, he made his feature film debut with this film. Originally conceived as a typical family drama, he added demons and kings from hell for kicks. </p> <p>The film stars Toni Collette (Krampus, Knives Out). I cannot stress this enough... SHE IS THE ENTIRE MOVIE! If it was not for her gripping acting and reaction to the events of the film, truly I think the rest of it would be meaningless. </p> <p>Her husband is played by Gabriel Byrne (The Usual Suspects) who is clearly struggling with his wife's descent into madness. </p> <p>Their son is played by Alex Wolff, who went full method in his performance. He refused to be addressed as anything but Peter for the two months of filming and did not introduce himself to his cast mates until production was over. </p> <p>Lastly, I would just lose my head if I did not mention Milly Shapiro, who plays the tragic Charlie, who has never really had an identity of her own, as she was a vessel for the demon king, Paimon. </p> <p>Makeup was designed by Steve Newburn, who indicated that the *ahem* scene, was originally much gnarlier. We'll explain why and how on the show. </p> <p>The music was by Colin Stetson. He's collaborated with a few bands you may have heard of, basically ALL OF THEM: Tom Waits, Arcade Fire, TV on the Radio, Feist, Bon Iver, Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed, Sinéad O'Connor, The National, Godspeed You!
