People were really, really freaked out by 'Hereditary'

There's been a lot of anticipation around the horror film Hereditary, which was unleashed upon the world on Friday, and it seems that it's as freaky as we hoped.

Mashable's own Jess Joho said the film is the kind of movie that "sinks its claws deeper into your flesh if you try" and adds, "An unrelenting descent into trauma, it insists that you become part of the family as the tragic terror unfolds."

Okay, yeah, this sounds brutal.

It even had its own heart rate challenge that showed how filmgoers' hearts seemed ready to rip through their chests at the moments of highest tension.

And now that the film's first weekend in theaters has come and gone, more reactions are flooding social media, sharing how scary and traumatizing Hereditary really is.
