After a record-breaking year for the genre in 2017, horror is on track to have another banger of a year at the cinemas in 2018. We’re only in May, but we’ve already had a string of intriguing indie horrors, studio hits, and plenty of killer streaming releases, but the festival hit that critics just can’t stop raving about is A24’s latest genre offering, Hereditary.

The feature film debut from writer-director Ari Astor made a hell of a splash when it premiered at Sundance to deafening acclaim, and since then it’s continued to earn a steady string of glowing reviews around the festival circuit from SXSW to the Overlook Film Festival.
