The horror lineup on Netflix is going to be changing for the worse in the very near future. There are obviously plenty of horror options on the streaming service to choose from, so a single movie exiting the service doesn’t feel like the biggest deal, but it does keep when a streamer you subscribe to loses one of the very best the genre has to offer. That’s what is going to happen after the weekend, when Netflix bids farewell to Hereditary.

The 2018 film immediately established Ari Aster as one of the most important voices working in horror, in addition to flipping the genre on its head and ushering in an emotional, cerebral new era of big screen scares. Hereditary has been a staple of Netflix’s horror lineup for a little while now, but will unfortunately exit the service at the start of the week, giving subscribers just a couple of days to watch it.
Hereditary is set to leave Netflix on April 15th, meaning that Monday, April 14th, will be the final day the film will be available to watch on the service. So if you’ve had Hereditary in your Netflix watchlist and just haven’t gotten to it yet, your time is quickly running out.
Since releasing Hereditary, Aster has gone on to direct Midsommar and Beau is Afraid. His next movie, Eddington, is expected to arrive sometime this year.
