Thanks to our friends at Studio Canal we have five in-season double passes to give away to Hereditary. The film is the soul-shaking vision of first-time filmmaker Ari Aster — an expertly crafted, supremely disturbing paranormal horror story about a cursed family that inherits unimaginable evils following the death of their mysterious grandmother.

The film stars Toni Collette, Gabriel Byrne, Alex Wolff and Milly Shapiro.

Bolstered by critical acclaim and its pedigree cast and producers, Hereditary has emerged post-Sundance/SXSW splash to quickly grab the attention of cinephiles and elevated genre fans alike as the hotly anticipated new jewel of the Indie Horror Renaissance.

Here’s a brief synopsis:

Every family tree hides a secret.

When Ellen, the matriarch of the Graham family, passes away, her daughter’s family begins to unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their ancestry. The more they discover, the more they find themselves trying to outrun the sinister fate they seem to have inherited. Making his feature debut, writer-director Ari Aster 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.
