Hereditary
“A genuinely scary and effective horror movie. You’ll want to turn away, but you won’t be able to, then you may wish you had once the ride is over. Be warned.. this film may stay with you for days. And just to add to the creepiness it was filmed right here in Salt Lake and Park City.”–Jeff Horne, Systems Coordinator
