Hereditary

A Japanese B5 movie flyer for Ari Aster’s Hereditary (2018), issued in Japan in 2018 for its theatrical release. This single double-sided flyer features the film’s dark portrait artwork on the front and Japanese release information on the reverse.

Two faces emerge from near-total darkness on the front: a mother above, a daughter below, their blue eyes catching the light. The vertical Japanese tagline, “完璧な悪夢” (“A Perfect Nightmare”), runs down the right edge, while the film’s Japanese title sits against a deep blue band at the bottom.

The reverse changes the rhythm. A screaming close-up shares the upper half with four critical excerpts, followed by film stills, Japanese promotional copy, and the November 30 theatrical release announcement with Tokyo cinema listings.

The two sides offer contrasting ways into Ari Aster’s debut feature: an unsettling image on one, the full machinery of its Japanese theatrical promotion on the other.
