what happened in hereditary

Hereditary is a horror movie about the Graham family, who are struggling with loss after the death of their matriarch, Ellen Tapper Leigh. The movie follows the family as they unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their ancestry. The demon in the movie is named Paimon, and in the final scene, Peter is hailed King Paimon, and hes now in charge of the cult that worships Paimon. The ending of the movie is unexpected and complicated, as it weaves its mythology in such a way that you’re never completely sure what is actually happening and how much is just the characters imagination. The decapitated bodies of Peter’s parents have been organized into a worshipful position, and Peter, who is now addressed as Charlie, because he also has his sister’s spirit, is told that the trinity has been destroyed and that Paimon now reigns. The movie explores themes of family trauma, mental illness, and difficult family dynamics.
