I'm just realizing now that the person who was putting the ridiculous amount of nuts in the cake was probably someone in the cult....

biggest sin is toni collette not getting nominated for an oscar

That mother’s scream when she found dead Charlie was 100000000 times scarier than the rest of the exorcist crap

Just watched this movie and I'm so glad you pointed out the epipen sin. Like what family NEVER carries an epipen?

Yes the 1.5 minutes of crying was a lot but you should have played the sounds Toni Collette was making. She sounded legitimately heartbroken and it made me feel awful inside. She truly nailed it with that scene and I can’t believe you sinned it. *reverse ding*

you didnt even take a sin of for the amazing acting when Peter just realized he accidently got his sister killed *ding*

7:12 I actually like Peter's cry on this scene. It reminds me of how children cry and to see a teenager in such shock and go through such trauma that he would regress to a child's mental state, I think that, if it was the actor's choice, it was brilliant

they not having a epipen every second of the day is the biggest sin of the movie everyone with severe allergy carries one

5:30 no mention of that "next morning" scene, that scene turned my stomach in so many ways...the way it was done, the acting from the son, realising what he's done and just waiting in horror for the moment when his actions are discovered, that absolutely raw emotion of the mom screaming/crying...just...DAMN!

You didn’t remove a sin for the camera’s zoom in on Peter’s gut wrenching expression after Charlie is decapitated. That was a brilliant scene

It broke my heart when Peter was screaming “Please Mommy!” Over and over.

I think I was actually red faced pissed when I first watched the movie and she sent her young daughter with her high school son to a high school party. I blame her really.

I’m taking away the sin for the 1.5 minutes of crying. That was actually heartbreaking and made my cold dead heart feel something.

Charlie's Head: Aight, imma head out

Everything wrong with hereditary: *The fact that Toni Colette didn’t get an Oscar*

I’m watching this because I’m too scared to watch the actual movie

Paimon had been in Charlie since she was a baby nursed nursed by her grandmother, which is why she had the “cluck” compulsion and was always building her “toys” with empty pill bottles and bird heads (because putting a head on a new body is basically what Paimon does - like the mannequin with Charlie’s head in the treehouse). Before Charlie, the grandmother had tried to put Paimon into her own son, Annie’s brother Charles, but he mistook the voice of Paimon as schizophrenia and killed himself. After Charlie’s death, Paimon sort of hangs out haunting Peter, but Peter’s too strong for a direct possession (“Peter! GET OUT!”) , so he arranges for the dad to die in front of Annie so that she is finally weak enough to possess. It is seeing his father burned and his mother decapitate herself that traumatized him enough to throw himself from the attic window, and as his soul leaves his body Paimon is finally able to take it for himself.

my man couldn't find actual sins

This movie is the kind that makes you sprint up the stairs when you turn off the lights

!!! something I only just noticed the 4th time round watching this film. She doesn't read out the words from the paper because she has already read them out before waking up steve and Peter! After the dream fight scene between Annie and Peter and she wakes up in bed gasping, it cuts to a pan of her bedroom and steve is asleep in bed. If you turn up the volume to the loudest setting and press your ear up against the speaker, you can hear in the background of the scene Annie reading out the names written on the paper! and you can see there is a light shining out from underneath the bathroom?/closet door? not sure what that room is but yeah she's in there with the candle lit and she reads out the words Satony, Paimon, something pandemonium and another word I've forgotten. But yeah super cool never noticed it before and always wondered why and how she was able to conduct the seance without getting things started like Joan said she needed to do. but pause the film right after you listen because you don't want your ear up against the speaker listening to her whisper to Peter in the next shot.

The moment when he was driving fast and his little sisters head got knocked off by the pole,and he’s just sittin there wanting to look but NOT WANTING TO at the same time is one of the most chilling moments in movies of 2018 hands down👏🏾👏🏾

Sister? Dead Cult? Controlling Friends? Fake god?in need of vessel Son?Possessed Hotel?Trivago

Guys, guys, remember in that "cinema sins on cinema sins video", they talked about how they sometimes sin films they really like. I'm sure this is one 🤞🏾

Ok so my theory for 10:38 is that earlier when Annie tried to burn the book it set her in fire so that it would make her think that it would burn her. And Paimon knew that she would get her husband and stuff to thrown it in so she could try and sacrifice herself. But that was a trick to get rid of the STRONGEST person in the family so that it would be easier to get to Annie then to Peter because Paimon wants a male vessel.

A lot of cheap sins here. You know this movie was legendary

Everybody is saying that Charlie should have known better to ask about nuts. The girl did not say a total of 20 words in the whole movie and probably had terrible social anxiety; I highly doubt she would have asked. And it is also clearly set up that she loves chocolate so much that she often forgets to even check if there is nuts in her chocolate bars.

The “United States Of Annie” joke was actually great. Nice job.

That crying scene should NOT be a sin...! It was such a terrific acting and absolutely depicts pain of a mother who's daughter dies in such a horrific way.

Reverse sins should've been given with Peter's scenes in the classroom. Seeing his reflection smiling at him evily, and especially the possession scene were both fucking terrifying!

The actors in this movie did great tho u got to admit it

Has anyone noticed that Jeremy calls Peter Charlie TWICE? "Mom goes to incredible lengths to make sure Charlie doesn't drink by making him take his WAY younger sister to a high school party" (Charlie IS the sister!) Also, when Jeremy mentions that "Annie tried to set Charlie on fire once" (referring to Peter). *DOUBLE DING!*

petition to change “movie sim timer” to “movie timer” because we know how long the video is but i wanna know what time in the movie we’re at

Do everything wrong with Bird Box

Peter didn’t get possessed cause the mom didn’t let the grandma in his early life smh y’all pay attention

I love reading all the comments that are angry people who think this is a legitimate film review channel and not satire

what I liked about this movie is that for most of it, you as the audience aren't sure if Annie is crazy or if it's actual demonic possession which is why I believe they don't show you Annie's first attempt at the seance

Not removing a sin for the decapitation scene is a sin

I wanted 5 sins removed for the decapitation scene. 1 for Alex Wolff's ptsd, 1 for Toni Collette's shrieking, 1 for Gabriel Byrne's silent coping while trying to help his wife, and 2 for Ari Aster's balls for killing Charlie so horrifically and then showing her MANGLED, DECAPITATED HEAD crawling with ants.

This honestly was one of the most deeply scarring movies I've ever watched, I watched it in cinema when it came out and it still haunts me to this day. It was fking brilliant but so terrifying, one of the best horror movies I've ever seen

I see a lot of people pointing out Peter's scenes so can I just say I love Alex Wolff in anything that he does, and he's amazing in this movie. His crying is so full of trauma and fear and just like Annie he cries and screams like he's been through so much. His facial expressions in every scene is just amazing, and not to forget the desk scene where I think it was reported that he actually hurt himself (obviously he didn't actually slam his head and break his nose but i think he bruised something while filming that scene). He's honestly a very underrated actor.

That nut allergy is absolutely nuts

some of these sins were just straight up dumb. like the minute of Annie crying was raw emotion, i thought it was the perfect mix of guilt, anxiety, and fear.

1. Toni Collette appearing in Peter’s room on the corner ceiling 2. Toni Collette had the most freakishly scary float scene across the ceiling 3. Toni Collette banging her head upside down on the ceiling But the scariest of them all is the Academy not even acknowledging her performance in the movie with an Oscar nom.

As someone who has spent their entire life with a family member who has a severe peanut AND tree nut allergy, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that there’s NO WAY that they wouldn’t leave anywhere without AT LEAST 2 Epi Pens. My sister to this day ALWAYS has two with her as well as a bottle of Benadryl, and my father always carries around an extra two in his backpack just in case.

"GEEET OOUUUT!" Wrong horror movie. *ding

There are a lot of sins in this that are just "I didn't get the hints the movie was giving me". For example: The random words written all over the house, are the phonetic pronunciation of the chant that the cultist gives to the mom, hinting that the Granma had chanted that to Charlie so many times that it was somewhere inside her mind... You can hear the lady shout them from across the road before Paimon tries to take Peter's body at school. Granma had no actual milk, Paimon takes over people who are very near death, she let Charlie starve to almost death so Paimon could enter her as a newborn. Afterwards she fed her from a bottle, as shown in the pictures. There are hints that she also starved her own husband trying to do the same. The random shit over the table scene is there to show that the cultists used dioramas of situations as ritual focus, and was why Charlie had learned from her granma to make that kind of effigy (her creepy toys), and that might be why Toni Collete learned to make miniatures in the first place. Paimon tricks Toni Collete with the book to completely break her mind so he can possess her, first making her think that somehow the book is important (it's not), that if she tries to burn it, she will burn with it (because she was the one who made the pact by reciting the chant, she believes they are connected, but can't bring herself to commit suicide in order to burn the book), so she tries to get help from the husband, effectively asking him to kill her, thinking that doing so will save Peter, but when instead the husband burns, she breaks and paimon takes over.

Toni Collette's scream when she found her in the car and when she was wailing on the floor after DESTROYED me. I cried so hard I had to rewind it to watch it again and then pause it. It was amazing! She's a killer actress.

The decapitation scene still gives me the chills no matter how many times I've seen it

9:16 there are some theories that the whole movie takes place in one of Annie's miniatures, and that could be the glare from the magnifying class she has.

The reason why it took so long for Paimon to posses Peter is because clearly this was the best opportunity for that to happen. Paimon is described in various grimoires as having the ability to see all of the events in the world, answer any question the summoner asks, and even see into the past and the future. With that in mind, we can stipulate that when the cultists asked Paimon how they could assist him in acquiring a male body, he simply told them the exact series of future events that will lead to Paimon possessing Peter. It's a shame the movie doesn't make this a little bit more clear.

The mom thinks the high school party is a school barbecue, since that's what Peter tells her, that's why she makes him take Charlie

Peter dies when he dolphin dives out the window, the light that enters his body represents paimon and Charlie entering him which is why whenever someone becomes possessed they do the tongue clicks.

Liftoach Pandemonium means “Open up Hell”. Liftoach means “to open up” Pandemonium is Latin for “many demons” and is the namesake for the capital of Hell in John Milton’s “Paradise Lost”. That’s the beauty of Ari Asters writing and direction, he doesn’t give you all of the answers because he wants you to dive deeper, and create curiosity around his films.

Toni Collette's extraordinary performance makes up for at least 80 sins

"AHH AUNT LYDIA" Same CinemaSins. Same.

“What language is even that” -grammar 100

The scene when she bangs her head against the attic door is super super SUPER creepy 😰

If everyone asks for Bird Box to be sinned, he will do it. I kinda wanna see that sinned, how about you?

If this film had been not about the supernatural and just a raw representation of what happens when a teenaged boy accidentally gruesomely murders his sister, it would have been WAY creepier. That middle portion had me riveted and super shaken up, but it sort of made me feel better and made me laugh by the near-end and then the actual end I was just entirely confused.

I love that there is actually very few to no real sins. Shows how good the film is

He did take 3 sleeping pills so, that’s probably why he didn’t wake up.

9:34 Awesome touch of detail with the kid filming in the background while Peter has his freak out in class!

Finally got around to watching this movie. The way the dad just "isn't there" all the way - he knows shit is going on, he knows his kids are weird, he knows insanity runs in his wife's family, etc., and he just lives in a dream world, going through the motions, doing the necessities of life - reminds me of my family. They establish through the movie that the mom goes and sits away from the family (in the car/treehouse), distancing herself from reality and just observing - just like she does with her models, so it doesn't really surprise me that she was waiting in the car before anyone woke up. It also shows the father's detachment: it wasn't until the last minute that he realized mom hadn't done her job and got the family ready. I mean, funeral or not, most people are generally aware of the activity (or lack thereof) going on in their home, so he should have missed hearing the shower/toilet flushing, the noise of them getting breakfast, etc. I realize there are time constraints in a movie, but they don't really show the passing of time. Peter has accident that leaves sister beheaded, goes to bed instead of doing anything about it: there would be years of investigation, dealing with lawyers, a trial, and probably a good bout in a mental hospital for both son and mom, or at least therapy sessions, but no. It adds to the "they live in a small world all their own" feel. If someone said the whole movie was just the insanity of the mom, I'd believe it, because it's nearly all from her view, and the other characters are only as developed as they have to be to further her story. Side note: it is not unheard of for women who have not recently been pregnant to start producing milk - you usually hear about it from young people who adopt, although my first learning about it was a woman stealing her grandson and it happening. Aside from that, it's implied she was a sort of witch/conduit/something, and therefore may have supernaturally produced milk/a food for the demon's host, or she could have just been batshit crazy and fake did it.

Steve: "What language is even that?" Cinemasins: "I could ask the same thing!"

5:58 that sound still shocks me

Creepy people staring at you across the street of the schoolyard is the most realistic part in the movie.

One thing that always annoys me about movies is how nobody ever seems to remember to "stop, drop and roll" when they're on fire.

You really didn’t give them a sin for Annie air-swimming in the background of her kid’s room? That scene made me laugh out loud. Totally ruined any tension. It looked like she was getting wildly swung out of the room on a rope. I laughed so hard I had to rewind and watch it again.

I'm not familiar with the "child in a horror film that has an allergy that will factor in the plot later" cliche.

7:08 i thought it was pretty obvious they didn't show the first try because you could interpret this movie as her going crazy, yaknow due to her heritage

3:05 give a sin to CinemaSins for calling Peter Charlie!!

Your Narration, writing and delivery, is Brilliant. Thank you for posting this!

You had a sin that asked why it took 13 years to get Peter for King Paimon and then your next sin was literally talking about how impossible it would've have been to execute that plan because all of the details it involved..

First CinemaSins I don't agree with. There's a lot of sins you gave for obvious plot points. Like "He survived this?". No he didn't but Paimon entered his body in literally the next shot.

Gmail does have the "reply all" option for single recipients.

I imagine the ghost tried many different versions of each step over the years and finally found random ways that worked

10:38 , when Annie threw the book into the fire the first time, King Paimon wanted to make her think that she is bound to that book. Therefor making her think that the book will only burn her. But quite the opposite. I believe that it doesn't matter who threw the book, King Paimon can burn anyone he wants. Only if the Book is burned, he can cast the fire onto anyone else in the room.

3:04 Jeremy refers to peter as ‘charlie’ Cinema sins sin counter: 1

The "funeral creep" was actually a member of the cult that appeared towards the end of the film, naked in the house.

Poor Charlie😥 she didn’t even want to go to the “barbecue”

Tony Collette and Alex Wolf deserved an oscar nom for this movie. They both blew me away!

"In Abramelin, Paimon's powers include knowledge of past and future events, clearing up doubts, making spirits appear, creating visions, acquiring and dismissing servant spirits, reanimating the dead for several years and flight." His powers clear up a lot of questions.

Im gonna have to disagree with the cry moment. Peter’s trauma is enough to cause some age regression in him for him to cry like a kid and call his mom “mommy” later on at the end of the movie

I knew nothing about this film, no trailers, no reviews, no videos, nothing. Watched it last night... My god was it worth every one of my life minutes! Incredible movie.

As someone with a nut allergy, this is the biggest sin. When I was as young as ten, I didn't even bother asking. I just avoided dessert like the plague.

Steve combusted because Annie drenched the book in paint thinner.

"Oh my God, Joan's involved in this...said no one who had ever seen a movie before" Look, I HAVE seen movies, I'm just really dumb

In the moment that weird things started happening I would call a priest, especially if I discover that my mother is part of a cult

I literally just watched this video to make sure they removed a sin for Toni Collettes FANTASTIC performance at the dinner scene and since they did I’m satisfied

The cluck sound gives me ptsd, thanks hereditary

5:26 I thought this scene was about to be sinned, I’m so relieved

I don't feel any of this is supernatural. I think the hereditary traits refers to the mental illness that is in the family. Annie's father with lethal depression, the mother's DID and schizophrenia - the brother taking his life when he realized he'd inherited his mother's multiple personalities within himself...Annie's psychotic break comes after finding Charlie's body. To make the gruesome death and her own negligence (no epi-pen, pushing going to the "school party") make "sense" she created a whole delusion of the cult and the creepy needed rituals. Peters break, happening since that dreaded night, peaks at finding his father dead. He becomes enveloped in hallucination, justifying killing his mother and arranging the little sisters beloved tree house to give her life again through sacrificing himself having bought into some of the delusion his mother had been pushing. Authorities would find the bodies, link the deaths and desecration to Peter and he would be locked up in a psych ward for good. Catatonic. My opinion. Alex Wolff is an amazing performer who didn't get near enough credit for his work in this.

The funny thing is, if they took all these sins into account and remade the movie it wouldn't be half as scary lmao

Spider Annie. Spider Annie. Does whatever a spider canny.

You didn’t put when Peter was getting a text from his friend inviting him to the party, it shows the text about smoking a bowl at break and Peter replying “yeah” when he already gave him a thumbs up in class giving him no reason to reply to the text.

“Heredi-scary” I just lost it 😂

Saw this movie a while back but that "cluck scare" bit still made me jump and pause the vid for at least 10 minutes before I could continue watching.

"What made the ball fall from the wall?" Maybe the bell that fell into the well? The man who ran into a van? The fox that locks the box? The cat that sat in a hat? The kid that hid the lid? The twins that wins at cinemasins?

The light is not just King Paimon, the light represents spirits. That’s why you could see a light when they were contacting Charlie. Also Peter doesn’t survive the fall from the attic, he dies which leaves his body open for Charlie to enter his vessel, that’s why Joanie was telling Peter to get out, she wanted his soul to vacate his body to make way for Charlie, later Paimon. At least from what I gathered after watching it 7 times.

I always thought that this movie was entirely about paranoid schizophrenia; its made clear that the disease is passed down genetically(HEREDITARY) which is why everyone except the husband has been able to have experiences with Paiman. I don't think the cult actually exists, all the experiences that happen to the family only occur after the ideas of the paranormal have been introduced to their lives and we are just seeing these events from the point of view of those who are paranoid schizophrenic Edit: this would explain a lot more rather than a cult being able to use supernatural powers in an overcomplicated plan
