Saw it at the cinema.
Thought it was a comedy!

Horror, as with comedy, is extremely subjective (in terms of what one finds scary or not). For example, I remember people going apeshit over BABADOOK a couple of years ago, and that hardly registered with me at all. Vice versa, THE GRUDGE is one of the scariest movies I've seen in my life (causing sleepless nights for two weeks), while I've talked to people who reacted completely indifferently to it. It's weird, but that's how different our brains are.
There were a few good individual scenes in HEREDITARY, and a couple of intriguing examples of mise-en-scene (I know what you mean regarding the reference to 60s or 70s stylings, like Polanski's REPULSION or ROSEMARY'S BABY). But overall, I didn't find it scary at all, and a bit overrated.

This film did call back to things like Rosemary's Baby and Wicker Man, so I can see why you'd prefer it Onya.
I've actually given up on ever being truly scared or terrified with a modern day horror film again.
And I'll never trust the bullshit blurbs and poster comments from reviewers again, either.
