“Hereditary” made Corey Taylor’s blood run cold

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor was asked what he thinks is the scariest horror film of the last 10 years during the For the Love of Horror convention on October 22-23 in Manchester.

For him, it’s Ari Aster’s 2018 film Hereditary, because the film made the singer even pause to calm down. He also stressed that he’s a fan of “Midsommar” (2019), which is also by Aster, but that it doesn’t compare to the psychological horror in “Hereditary”.

When asked about the scariest horror movie during a Q&A, Taylor replied, “‘Hereditary’ is the movie that made me sweat through the sheets on my bed. That was so uncomfortable, dude. Me and Alicia [Taylor] thought, “Let’s turn on a frigging horror movie, okay?” We just sat [mit geschocktem Gesichtsausdruck] there.”

Taylor continued, “I’m just saying the… everyone knows that scene. I was so scared I had to stop the movie and walk around. It was a trip, dude. I love ‘Midsommar’ too, but there’s just something so great about ‘Hereditary’. I didn’t give a damn about it when I saw the film and by the end I was like, ‘I can’t forget this. Oh my God.’ I mean, it was THAT level of ‘holy shit’. So that’s definitely up front.”

Hereditary Storyline

Ellen Taper Leigh, Annie’s mother, dies at the age of 78. She describes her deceased mother as a secretive and introverted person, who in fact suffered from a dissociative identity disorder. Annie’s father starved himself to death due to depression and her older brother hanged himself at the age of 16 due to his schizophrenia.

When their two children, Charlie and Peter, go to a party one evening, an accident occurs and Charlie dies. Her mother then suffers a nervous breakdown and Peter suffers from anxiety and develops nightmarish visions. Peter appears possessed and at one point bangs his face on one of the school desks. Everything is too much for the father Steve and he finds Annie, who from that point on only seems like a mental patient to him, to be responsible for the development of her son. After that, events unfold.
