Psychological Horror · 2018 · Dir. Ari Aster
Hereditary
Aster's debut weaponises grief as a delivery system for something far worse. A masterclass in dread — every frame is loaded, every silence is a threat. The kind of film that recalibrates what horror is allowed to do.
- Toni Collette's performance is the high-water mark of the modern genre
- Cinematography by Pawel Pogorzelski — every frame is composed like a dollhouse
- Reframed A24 as the studio that could weaponise prestige horror

How it works
Fractional horror financing, in four steps.
Planet Dread is a marketplace where everyday investors can take a real stake in independent horror — legally, transparently, and across a diversified slate.
01
Browse the dark slate
Explore vetted horror projects in active financing. Watch teasers, read the pitch, meet the filmmaker — and see exactly where every dollar bleeds.
02
Pick your stake
Back a single film or spread across the slate. Minimums start at $25 — fractional means you choose how deep you go.
03
We handle the paperwork
An SEC-compliant funding portal runs the offering, escrow, and reporting. All-or-nothing: funds only release when a film hits its goal.
04
Earn with the scream
Films stream on Planet Dread and across distribution. Backers get revenue share, perks, on-screen credits, and quarterly statements.
