Netflix subscribers only have until next week to watch a 2018 movie that enthusiasts say ranks among the greatest horror films ever made.

Directed and penned by Ari Aster, who gained recognition for his eerie horror film Midsommar, Hereditary is set to be taken down from the streaming service on Tuesday, April 15.

The film features a star-studded lineup with Oscar nominee Toni Collette joining forces with actors like Alex Wolff, Milly Shapiro, and Gabriel Byrne. This group portrays a clan tormented by eerie events following the death of their matriarch.

Here’s an alternative version with preserved meaning and tone: "A summary states: 'Following her mother's death, Annie (Collette) along with the entire family falls into mourning. Before long, eerie events begin unfolding as unsettling truths regarding Annie's heritage gradually surface.'"

At its heart, the thriller delves into profound topics like trauma and bereavement. Following its debut, both audiences and reviewers lauded the A24 horror film, with numerous accolades directed at Collette’s acting.

Heading over to IMDb, where the movie holds a seven-star rating, a viewer commented: "This must be among the finest horror films ever made!"

Toni Collette delivers an extraordinary performance that might be the pinnacle of her career. Just as you start to grasp what’s happening, the film takes a surprising turn. The writing is incredibly well-crafted, making it a truly exhilarating experience. This isn’t for those easily unsettled! I’ve seen it multiple times, yet each viewing leaves me equally thrilled with goosebumps. Absolutely recommended for lovers of horror!

Another individual chimed in with agreement, stating: "It’s tough to watch but you can’t help looking at it. Without question, the finest horror movie I have ever laid eyes on, maybe even among the top overall films."

Another viewer chimed in with their opinion: "I randomly came upon this film intending to leisurely view a typical horror movie without knowing what lay ahead."

I scarcely budged throughout the film and remained silent in shock for about 20 minutes once the credits began. That night, sleep eluded me as I was utterly terrified.

At the same time, another individual drew comparisons with renowned horror classics, commenting, “‘Hereditary’ has definitively outpaced ‘The Shining’ and ‘The Exorcist,’ becoming my ultimate scarefest and most unsettling film ever made. There’s really no contest.”

"Hereditary" can be streamed on Netflix.
