Hereditary is the film responsible for horrifying even the bravest person and scaring the most demanding critics of global cinema. But, as there are still some skeptic people, it's time to check it scientifically.
This is what Alamo Drafthouse company did in an experimental test. Because, after all, can a movie be too terrifying?
With that purpose, they decided to examine the heart rates of 20 participants during the promotional screenings of the film in eleven theaters of such company. And the results of only 4 of them (see the separate chart) suggest that you may want to call your doctor.
A result that surprised everyone
Thus, 164 beats per minute (BPM) were recorded, when the expected for someone at rest must be between 60 and 100.
It is clear the conclusion that none of us is ready for the most commented horror movie of the year nowadays.
From the producers of the horrifying film The Witch, and directed by Ari Aster, Hereditary spreads progressive horror around its protagonists.
