Indebted to the likes of Roman Polanski in his 1970s horror pomp, Aster’s feature debut cast Toni Collette as Annie, whose mother has recently died. Mystery and trauma follow for her, her husband Steve (Gabriel Byrne) and two children, Peter (Alex Wolff) and Charlie (Milly Shapiro). A film about how sometimes rather than a safe and stable environment, the family unit can be a very troubling and overwhelming experience.
