12 Movies Like Hereditary That Are Worth Watching – /Film

Ari Aster turned heads following the release of "Midsommar" with the declaration that his next feature film wouldn't be a horror movie, but instead something in the realm of comedy. For those concerned, "Anything for Jackson" is a prime example of why you shouldn't be too hasty to question a talented filmmaker's ability to shift genres.

Released in 2020, this collaboration between director Justin G. Dyck and screenwriter Keith Cooper follows an elderly couple grieving their grandson's tragic passing. They kidnap a heavily pregnant woman, intending to transplant their dead grandson's spirit into her unborn child but face interruption from meddling forces.

It's a dark premise, but the whole thing plays out with an impressively well-balanced sense of terror and absurdity. "Wrong Turn" and "Supernatural" actor Julian Richings is a big part of this tonal duality, giving a charismatic performance rooted in devotion and love regardless of the cost.

It's a remarkably scary film from a filmmaking duo who, before "Anything for Jackson," was best known for producing made-for-television Christmas movies together. With any luck, the pair will continue to delve deeper into the horror genre, as they've proved they've got the knack.
