Earlier this year, the first trailer, which can be seen above, saw Annie (Collette) giving a eulogy at her mother’s funeral, in which she describes her as a “private” and “secretive” person.

What followed was… well, it was nightmarish and baffling, all at once. A child scribbled gargoyle-esque images like there’s no tomorrow. A man cut the head off a pigeon. Someone’s body was engulfed in flames. Annie gets really, really into her creepy figurine obsession.

You get the picture. Familial tragedy, heritage gone to hell… that sort of thing. No wonder people are calling it “a new generation’s The Exorcist”, eh?

Hereditary opens everywhere on 15 June. Based on the trailer alone, we recommend catching up on your slumber before you got see it: we have a feeling you’ll be facing many sleepless nights once the credits roll.

Are you brave enough to watch this trailer for the “scariest horror film in decades”?
