Why the Flick?

It’s possible Why the Flick? might be cursed after covering Hereditary (2018), but it’s a sacrifice we’re willing to make. Just don’t expect us to come to your open séance any time soon. This episode, heads are rolling as Claire, Alex, and Danielle reunite to discuss one of the most disturbing horror movies in cinema. Ari Aster swung for the fences in his feature film debut that explores a family struggling with mental illness, grief, and supernatural forces at play. From the hidden clues to the miniatures to the many faces of Toni Collette, we take a deeper look at all the moments that had us saying what the actual fuck?!
