Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Hereditary ending is open to interpretation and leaves a lot of open-ended questions surrounding the demon Paimon. In Hereditary, Annie Graham is an artist whose mother has just passed away, and though her son Peter and husband Steve appear to be mostly indifferent towards her death, Annie's daughter Charlie seems especially troubled.
However, given that a male host was preferred, Charlie's death worked to the cult's benefit. This prompted the transferring of Paimon's soul into Peter's body, and it required some mortal assistance, which explains the company of fellow cultist Joan . In the end, the Graham family is invaded by demon worshippers, Annie's mother successfully brings about the resurrection of a demonic being, even in death, and Paimon's spirit inhabits Peter's body. As a result, Hereditary heavily echoes Rosemary's Baby and The Omen, with evil edging out good. That said, the literal interpretation of Hereditary is just as potent as the one that delves less into the supernatural than it does mental health.
What's more is that all the members of the Graham family can also be interpreted as representing the various ways people deal with grief. From this angle, Annie represents anxiety and self-blame/unwarranted responsibility. Tragedy overpowers her in such a way that her grief turns into guilt.
The Hereditary Ending Was Foretold Peter's English Classes Continually Reference Greek Tragedies As jarring as Hereditary may be, it by no means attempts to pull the rug out from underneath its audiences in terms of how big of a gut-punch it delivers. In fact, it outright embraces its morbid final act from the get-go — the only condition being that all of its minute details require strict attention to detail.
