After a successful festival run, A24 is set to release the horror film Hereditary in theaters on June 8, 2018. The studio’s just released a new trailer along with another poster from the film which marks the feature film writing and directorial debut of Ari Aster.
Hereditary currently sits at 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with RogerEbert.com’s Brian Tallerico calling it a “deeply unsettling film, the kind of horror movie that pulls from relatable human emotions like grief and resentment to ultimately become an absolute nightmare.” Variety’s Owen Gleiberman has high praise for the film’s star Toni Collette: “Collette’s performance is staggering. She plays Annie as a woman who begins to wear her buried rage and guilt on the outside.”
In addition to Oscar nominee Toni Collette (The Sixth Sense), the cast includes Alex Wolff (The House of Tomorrow), Milly Shapiro, Ann Dowd (The Handmaid’s Tale, Good Behavior), and Gabriel Byrne (Vikings, In Treatment). Hereditary was executive produced by Jonathan Gardner, William Kay, and Ryan Kreston. Kevin Scott Frakes, Lars Knudsen, and Buddy Patrick served as producers.
The Plot: When Ellen, the matriarch of the Graham family, passes away, her daughter’s family begins to unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their ancestry. The more they discover, the more they find themselves trying to outrun the sinister fate they seem to have inherited.
Making his feature debut, writer-director Ari Aster unleashes a nightmare vision of a domestic breakdown that exhibits the craft and precision of a nascent auteur, transforming a familial tragedy into something ominous and deeply disquieting, and pushing the horror movie into chilling new terrain with its shattering portrait of heritage gone to hell.

Tom Ellis in ‘Lucifer’ season 3 episode 20 (Photo Credit: Fox)
Fox’s Lucifer finally returns after a much too long three-week break with season three episode 20. The episode titled “Angel of San Bernardino” features one of Tom Ellis’ best ever performances and moves multiple storylines along, some in surprisingly shocking ways.
Season three episode 20 begins with a woman waking in the middle of the night to the sound of arguing in her house. A gunshot rings out and as she’s about to be shot, she sees an angel whisk away the killer.
Over at the station, Pierce (Tom Welling) and Chloe (Lauren German) escape to the evidence closet for a make-out session. Shortly thereafter, Pierce joins Lucifer and Chloe at a crime scene. Lucifer’s pissed because Pierce kills their banter, but Pierce says he’s only there because the victim is well-connected. Chloe, meanwhile, acts all jumpy and guilty.
Ella (Aimee Garcia) is already at the crime scene and introduces them to the murder victim, Kevin. He’s from a very wealthy family, but apparently he was renting a room at this house and was shot in the chest by an intruder. The home’s owner explains what she heard, including the fact the killer knew Kevin’s name.
She then describes the angel she believes flew in and saved her. She also claims the angel took her Saint Gabriel figurine when he flew away.
Chloe thinks she’s joking when she asks if it’s one of Lucifer’s brothers, but Pierce lags behind Chloe as she walks away to ask if it could be one of Lucifer’s siblings. Lucifer can’t believe Pierce thinks his dad would send someone down to Earth just to stop a murder.
Amenadiel (DB Woodside) show’s up at Lucifer’s, anxious that Charlotte might tell someone what they told her. He’s worried about what she’ll do now that she knows. Lucifer, however, doesn’t care because no one would believe her anyway. Lucifer then asks if Amenadiel knows if there’s an angel around who’s randomly saving people. Amenadiel claims that angel would have to be bored or confused.
After Amenadiel leaves, Lucifer finds the Saint Gabriel figurine on his bedroom floor.
Lucifer takes the figurine to Dr. Linda (Rachael Harris), confused where it came from. He thinks it might be a sex toy but Linda wonders if he’s “sleep flying” since he’s having trouble sleeping now. She thinks he’s conflicted over Chloe’s relationship with Pierce, but he assures her he’s not a 16-year-old crying in his bedroom listening to Adele.
Chloe and Pierce enjoy an afternoon together at her place, but then she sends him away before Trixie comes home. She’s not ready to introduce her daughter to any man yet.
Lucifer calls her in and he’s incredibly worried about solving this case. He needs to prove he wasn’t the angel and Chloe assures him he’s not. Chloe informs her partner that their murder victim, Kevin, fought with a guy named Phil and off they go to speak with him at a ritzy rehab facility.
Phil’s not upset about Kevin’s death and calls him a douchebag. Phil’s a TV producer and is sure he doesn’t have to explain his whereabouts, having nine legal shows under his belt. Lucifer goes berserk and demands to know if the angel who appeared at Kevin’s murder looked like him. Phil, understandably confused, explains he and Kevin always argued about rehab and getting clean. Phil punched him and that was all. Phil then provides his alibi; he was with hookers. Turns out Phil’s a sex addict.
As they’re getting ready to leave, Chloe expresses concern over Lucifer’s state of mind. Lucifer is adamant that he needs to solve this murder, but Chloe sends him home to rest.
Lucifer borrows Chloe’s handcuffs and chains himself to the floor before falling asleep on his bed. Amenadiel wakes Lucifer up the next morning and Lucifer’s not happy to see his brother. “On the list of things I like to wake up to, your face falls someplace after a horse’s head and Coldplay tickets.”
Amenadiel shows him a newspaper with an article on the Angel of San Bernardino. Lucifer and Amenadiel believe Lucifer’s the do-gooder angel because his handcuffs are broken and his bed’s messy.
Lucifer reads the article but still can’t wrap his head around the fact it’s likely describing him. Amenadiel believes he caused this by making Lucifer reveal his wings to Charlotte. God must be punishing them by making Lucifer do good deeds. Lucifer knows only the killer can verify the angel’s identity, so he heads off to work.
Ella tells Pierce she thinks his relationship with Chloe is cute. However, she knows Ella hasn’t said I love you yet and thinks he should be patient.
Charlotte (Tricia Helfer) spends the morning telling people what she really thinks, which results in her insulting anyone who crosses her path. Done with the insults, she drags Dan (Kevin Alejandro) away from the station for an impromptu lunch date.
Chloe and Lucifer visit Kevin’s exe and her new husband, Jeremy, and she reveals they used to do drugs together. She says Kevin liked drugs more than her and she hasn’t talked to him in years. He called her occasionally but she didn’t talk to him because he always wanted money for drugs.
Charlotte and Dan have a few drinks over lunch and she’s super happy she’s now able to just speak her mind. Charlotte believes she can do what she wants because she’s got a direct line to God and what she wants to do now is get naked in the restaurant’s supply closet with Dan. Dan’s up for it and strips down in the closet. Unfortunately, the male manager’s the one who discovers Dan posing naked in the closet…

Chloe does research while Lucifer paces, telling her once again about his concern that he might be the Angel of San Bernardino. Chloe suggests he go home and get some sleep but when he says that’s when he becomes the Angel, she tells him to stay awake then. He decides that’s a great idea and does whatever it takes to stay awake including tons of drugs, getting his freak on with women, constructing weird table things, riding tricycles, and participating in a fight club. But when he flips on the television and discovers Bones, he’s instantly fascinated. (Thanks for the entertaining montage with a mostly shirtless Tom Ellis, Lucifer writers!)
Chloe and Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt) have a chat over the phone, and Maze apologizes for upsetting Trixie.
Lucifer shows up at the station looking horrible and doesn’t have any idea he’s been gone for a week. He explains he’s just watched all 12 riveting seasons of Bones and calls Chloe “Booth.” He’s decided Bones is a documentary of their partnership. He rattles off a bunch of facts about the human skeleton and only settles down when Chloe shows him a surveillance video of Kevin getting arrested a few months ago. Kevin was with a guy named Matt Kessman who might be Kevin’s dealer.
Chloe and Lucifer head over to see Matt and Lucifer’s barely keeping it together. He grabs a cup of coffee with lots of sugar and then watches from a balcony as Matt delivers a toast at a wedding. Matt introduces himself to the wedding guests as a doctor and Chloe thinks he’s lying. She and Lucifer follow him into the parking garage and watch as he meets with the groom.
Matt’s holding a wad of cash and Lucifer launches into a lengthy rant. He’s confusing what’s going on now with an episode of Bones. He then realizes Matt is an actor who actually was on that episode of Bones. The groom admits he hired Matt to be his best man because he doesn’t have any friends.
Chloe wants to know why Matt was fighting with Kevin in the alley. Matt explains he was hired to be Kevin’s friend and to get him to do drugs, but Kevin wouldn’t. Matt doesn’t know who hired him, but he got the job through Masquerade, Inc.
Maze visits Pierce at his place and confirms she talked to Chloe. Maze is happy to be part of Pierce’s plan to get Decker to fall for him. She wants Decker to suffer when Pierce vanishes without any warning. Pierce doesn’t care who gets hurt as long as he’s finally able to die. The key is for Pierce to work his way into Decker’s heart and that should make him vulnerable in her presence, just like Lucifer.
Chloe and Lucifer look up Masquerade, Inc and figure out whoever hired Matt is probably the killer. Lucifer wants to head out now but Chloe wants him to go home and sleep. He pounds the table and yells he can’t sleep in front of everyone, and Chloe has him take a seat in the interrogation room.
Lucifer’s out of control and falling apart, telling Chloe his wings are back and his father’s manipulating him. He thinks it’s either that or Linda’s right and he’s suppressing feelings about Chloe and Pierce. Chloe ignores the angel stuff and asks why he doesn’t like her relationship with Pierce. Lucifer continues on, telling the truth and revealing Pierce is really Cain and has been around for eons. Pierce only cares about ridding himself of the curse his father placed on him. Chloe, of course, doesn’t really listen, but she does confess she’s happy when she’s around Pierce. He treats her right and she thinks he’s a good man. She almost says she loves him.
Amenadiel visits Charlotte who’s just purchased an expensive diamond necklace. She’s carefree after deciding to spend money and not worry about things. She believes Amenadiel and Lucifer can take her to Heaven when the time comes so nothing matters. Amenadiel explains they can’t get anyone into Heaven and Charlotte gets upset, realizing she relapsed into her old ways. She’s certain she’ll go to Hell.
Trixie looks up the Masquerade, Inc site on her mom’s work computer. Pierce walks by and waves, and Chloe finally opens up to Trixie about her relationship with Pierce. She confesses she likes him a lot and wants Trixie to like him too. Trixie asks if that’s the reason she’s been so happy lately, and Chloe admits it is.
Meanwhile, Jeremy wanders around his house and spots an open window. He spots Lucifer seated in the corner of his living room. Lucifer flips on the light and asks, “Trouble sleeping?”
Lucifer admits he knows Jeremy used to be an actor. Lucifer also puts two and two together and figures out Jeremy’s wife hired him to play husband and father, and Lucifer thinks Jeremy was also hired to kill Kevin. However, it turns out Jeremy’s “wife” actually fell in love with him and so he needed to get rid of Kevin.
Lucifer demands to know if Jeremy saw the angel at the murder scene, but Jeremy’s sure no one was there. The homeowner saw the reflection of the figurine’s wings on the wall and thought there was a real angel saving her from being murdered. Jeremy stole the figurine and then destroyed it because it had his fingerprints on it.
Lucifer’s confused about how it got to his house and pissed Jeremy destroyed Kevin’s family and used his weaknesses against him. As he’s talking, Lucifer realizes Pierce is the one who set the whole angel thing up.
Chloe arrives at Jeremy’s right after Lucifer takes off, and he immediately confesses he killed Kevin and he’s a pathetic imposter.
Lucifer frantically looks through his place for the figurine so he can convince Chloe that Pierce isn’t a good guy. He explains all this to Maze when she arrives, yelling about how Chloe wouldn’t believe him. Lucifer finally finds the figurine and Maze convinces him to sit down and tell her the whole story. She hands him a drink and he thanks her, saying it’s very kind of her. That act of kindness is so unlike Maze that Lucifer realizes she’s helping Pierce.
Maze confirms this angel thing is all her idea. She planted the figurine after Pierce told her about the woman who claimed to see an angel. Maze taunts Lucifer with the details of what she’s managed to pull off. She tapped into his daddy issues and when she keeps talking, he realizes she’s stalling him.
Lucifer races off to Chloe’s and Maze laughs as he leaves. (Maze season two was so much more fun than Maze season three.)
Pierce arrives at Chloe’s place with a piece of chocolate cake. Trixie’s out for the night so Chloe teases they can share it together tomorrow morning, hinting that Pierce can spend the night. Chloe’s done worrying about how this affects everybody else. She confesses she really likes spending time with him and as she’s about to say, “I love you,” Pierce stops her. She thinks he’s pressing pause because it’s scary to be in this relationship. Instead, he tells her she’s making it too hard and it’s not worth it. Of course, Chloe doesn’t understand the true meaning behind his words. He leaves her place and screams in frustration once he’s outside her door.
Lucifer arrives at Chloe’s and Trixie lets him in the door. He sees Chloe’s expression and leaves without saying a word, heading over to Pierce’s place. (Tom Ellis is absolutely terrific in this episode).
Lucifer punches Pierce in the face, screaming at him for hurting Chloe. Pierce admits he just needed Chloe to say she loves him, but then realized he couldn’t do that to her. Lucifer warns Pierce that since he hurt Chloe, he should prepare for a beating. As they talk, Lucifer notices Pierce’s mark is gone.

The second season takes place a year after Brady Hartsfield’s thwarted attempt to perpetrate a second mass murder in the community of Bridgton, Ohio. Since the incident, Hartsfield has been hospitalized in a vegetative state. Retired Detective Bill Hodges has done his best to move on from his Brady obsession, teaming up with Holly Gibney to open Finders Keepers, a private investigative agency. But when unexplainable occurrences begin to affect hospital staff members attending to Brady, Hodges is haunted by the feeling that Brady is somehow responsible.

J. Paul Getty III is still being held by kidnappers as FX’s Trust season one episode four begins. Two of Paul’s kidnappers aren’t happy about being forced to bury two bodies, but they do so because they’ve been ordered to by Primo. They also snap a photo of Paul (Harris Dickinson) tied up next to Bertolini’s (Giuseppe Battiston) dead body, a photo that will prove to be pivotal in convincing Paul’s family he’s actually been kidnapped.
Primo (Luca Marinelli) visits his uncle Don Salvatore and Leonardo, a man Primo calls “the accountant,” and informs them he has Paul. Don Salvatore doesn’t believe it at first and then slowly realizes this could mean a huge payday. Primo thinks they can get a $200 million ransom but Leonardo knows that much money would require Getty to sell assets. They need to lower their demand so that Getty won’t have to spend time pulling together the cash.
Leonardo realizes that since they’re dealing with Getty, $10 million would be the most he would possibly part with. Primo’s not happy with that figure, and Don Salvatore sets the price at $17 million. Leonardo goes along, although he’s sure the top dollar amount will be $15 million.
At Sutton Place, J. Paul Getty (Donald Sutherland) and Penelope (Anna Chancellor) stroll through the garden, discussing their relationship and the lack of sex. Penelope believes the senior Getty’s harem is embarrassing, but he assures her he only enjoys spending long days with her.
J. Paul believes his gardener is gay and just to be an evil jerk, he turns two of his dogs loose on the man who has to run for his life. J. Paul laughs and says to himself, “He certainly runs like a queer.” (Penelope has already left his side when he does this, but his other girlfriends watch from a window and laugh.)
Next, Primo visits his cousin (who goes by Fifty) and demands he act as the negotiator. Fifty (Niccolo Senni) is instructed to speak directly with Paul’s mother. Primo hands over the photo of Paul tied up next to Bertolini’s body to convince Fifty he’s for real.
Primo returns to the hideout and allows Paul, who’s been kept chained up in a small room, to smoke a cigarette. Primo believes now it’s just a matter of waiting.
Paul’s mother and siblings are attempting to deal with his kidnapping, with journalists wanting interviews and paparazzi outside the house. Primo’s cousin calls and says they have Paul, but Gail (Hilary Swank) – quite understandably – doesn’t believe him. She asks questions about Paul that anyone who’s holding him should be able to answer, but Fifty can’t and Gail hangs up.
Fifty then calls the newspaper and reveals they’re demanding $17 million. He’s placed a pillow over his mouth while he talks to disguise his voice, but all it’s really accomplished is making him unintelligible to the woman who answers the phone. He slams the pillow down and tries again. After he goes through his demand again, she asks what desk he wishes to speak with. Frustrated, he asks, “Who deals with kidnaps?” She suggests the news, but she’s not sure.
Once he’s connected, Fifty repeats that they want $17 million for Paul. He demands they put it in the paper and the reporter asks, “What else would we do with it?” and hangs up. Fifty slams the phone down and curses this kidnapping scheme.
The newspaper story is somewhat embellished. The reporter added the negotiator reports directly to the underworld and demanded the story run on the front page. The article’s sent to J. Paul Getty’s assistant Robina Lund (Charlotte Riley) who hands it off to Bullimore (Silas Carson) to deliver to J. Paul. She promises rather gleefully that it will curdle his eggs.
J. Paul tells his women about the ransom demand. He doesn’t believe Paul’s been kidnapped and crumbles up the letter – as he does with all “begging” letters.
After J. Paul leaves the room, the women indicate they also believe Paul hasn’t been taken. Plus, they reveal they know Penelope is sleeping with Getty’s pilot.
The two friendlier kidnappers allow Paul five minutes in the river to wash up. They even join him in the water and try to catch fish with Paul teaching them how. They make small talk and Paul admits he likes being out in nature and one of the kidnappers – translator Angelo (Andrea Arcangeli) – reveals he’d rather be somewhere with girls, drugs, and Mick Jagger. Paul tells him about the Rolling Stones party at Treetops in Rome and he knows them, and Angelo’s a bit starstruck. Paul offers to introduce him, but Angelo thinks Paul’s just trying to get on his good side.
The other kidnapper catches a fish and in the ensuing chaos, Paul picks up the dropped rifle and kills the fish that’s flopping on the ground. The kidnappers panic and take the gun back, but it was obvious Paul wasn’t going to try and shoot them. They eat the fish together and Paul learns they’re asking for $17 million. Paul tells them that won’t ever happen but admits he has no idea how much he’s worth to his grandfather.
Fifty calls Primo and informs him they need proof they’re holding Paul since other people have been calling Gail Getty pretending to be the kidnappers.
Primo provides Paul with cocaine and asks him to tell them a story about himself. Paul tells a story about JoJo the dog who was scared of heights and the horse who talked him into jumping off a cliff, using shadow puppets to illustrate the tale.
Paul confirms he had a dog named JoJo and reveals the name of two other dogs. Fifty calls Gail and she realizes they do have him. She’s given the address of a place to meet and is told to come alone.
Gail calls Sutton Place and Robina pretends J. Paul has left the estate. Gail knows J. Paul is probably standing right next to Robina (he is) and informs her she’s spoken to the real kidnappers. Robina promises to pass along the message.
J. Paul thinks this has all become too bothersome and he’ll have James Fletcher Chace deal with Gail from now on.
Gail heads off to the meeting spot. It’s in a cinema and once inside she’s motioned toward a theater. She takes a seat and Fifty sits behind her, warning her not to turn around. She informs him she doesn’t have $17 million or even $1,700. She confesses J. Paul thinks Paul made this up to get money. Fifty hands over the photo of Paul and the dead Bertolini and reveals he’ll be in contact soon. Gail begs to talk to her son, but Fifty just leaves her sitting alone in the theater.
Gail shows Martine (Laura Bellini) and Jutta (Sarah Bellini) the photo and Jutta says they don’t know the dead man. Martine cries but doesn’t say anything while Gail shows her the photo again and points out how scared Paul looks. Martine remains silent.
After Gail leaves, Martine wants to go to the police. Jutta says no, still under the impression this is all part of Paul’s plan.
Gail faxes the photo to Robina.
J. Paul and Chace (Brendan Fraser) meet about a proposed land deal that’s being thwarted by Native Americans who don’t want to sell their sacred land. The meeting’s interrupted by Penelope who shows J. Paul the photo. Chace recognizes Bertolini and changes his mind; he now is certain the kidnapping is not a hoax because Bertolini is definitely dead in the photo. J. Paul’s also convinced Paul was really kidnapped and instructs Chace to open negotiations for his grandson’s release, telling Chace to take the private plane and get back to Rome immediately.
Jutta and Martine scream at each other, and Martine heads to the police station to tell everything she knows. The officer warns her that aiding and abetting is a criminal offense but she doesn’t care. She swears she just wants Paul back. Martine signs the report and the officer suggests she return to Berlin to see her family. He strongly hints that she’s about to be killed if she doesn’t leave after reporting what she knows.

That evening, J. Paul and Penelope discuss the ransom demand. J. Paul’s willing to pay $600 plus expenses, explaining that it’s possible to load up a lot in the expense column. Penelope points out it’ll still be far less than $17 million and J. Paul assures her that’s how negotiations work.
Paul and the kidnappers relax by the river, and Paul invites Angelo to be his best man if he’s ever set free. Primo assures Paul he’ll be set free because there’s a big phone call set up for that very evening.
Chace fills Gail in on the plan and Gail begs him to take her with him to the negotiations. He refuses but promises to be back when it’s over.
Chace meets Fifty in the same movie theater and delivers J. Paul’s response. Fifty reads the note and can’t believe it. He calls Primo, who’s been out partying and drinking expensive alcohol, with the low-ball offer.
Primo returns to the hideout, drunk and angry. He calls Paul a bastard and a piece of sh*it, saying his family only wants to pay $600 for his return. Paul laughs and Primo slaps him. Primo says, “The richest man in the world would pay more for his dog.”
Paul believes it’s a mistake and Primo adds that they offered him $600 plus expenses. One of the kidnappers explains this must just be the start of negotiations but Primo’s furious. He’s offended and they’ve insulted him, and Paul’s going to pay the price by being returned to chains in the barn.
Primo instructs his associates to dig a hole. He wants Paul dead now, declaring the kidnapping is over. Primo demands they murder Paul and have him buried by the time he returns. Primo leaves to get gas and the kidnappers figure out it’s to burn the evidence.
Meanwhile, Paul’s making shadow animals in his cell. He hears the digging outside and realizes what it means.
The kidnappers don’t want to kill Paul but can’t go against Primo. Angelo enters Paul’s cell and tells him they have to get out of there right now.
