The Hereditary ending is open to interpretation and leaves a lot of open-ended questions surrounding the demon Paimon.

This kicks off a brief exploration into Charlie’s peculiar tendencies — clipping off the head of a dead bird, crafting abnormal creatures out of scraps — before a series of seemingly insignificant events leads to her untimely death.
