Midsommar

Several friends travel to Sweden to study as anthropologists a summer festival that is held every ninety years in the remote hometown of one of them.

    I Watched This Like 5 Times Plus Director's Cut
    Ari Aster strikes again with a visually stunning and stomach wrenching film. I can't explain how happy I am to experience his brilliant masterpieces. Hereditary was amazing but this takes the cake.

    One of the worst things you can do with a horror movie is make a long introduction to the story but Midsommar has a great sense of pace and it has you right where it wants you in the very beginning.

    Ari does very well at mixing emotion into his films. You really connect with the characters and feel their pain which so far has been orientated at family and loss. This film will give you a rollercoaster of emotions; confusion, disgust, anger, sadness, amusement and happiness.

    The way the movie is shot is very strategic. It is done so you feel weird. The effects used sometimes are like you're on a whole new level, having a "trip".

    There is definitely more shown here than Hereditary even dared. Not only gore wise but nudity as well. I personally didn't have any of the 'shock factor' when it came to it, some people might but it is something you know going into watching a film like this.

    Story was interesting and not hard to follow. I could very well predict quite a number of things but that didn't spoil me the enjoyment of watching. I actually found some parts funny, some definitely only I would find funny.

    Acting was incredible and very believable because for a film like this, it must be. There were a few things that annoyed me like; characters acting stupid and maybe the fact that there was some weird gross segment in there which I can't spoil. Overall a darn good horror that I am just ecstatic over. The conclusion couldn't have been better. At the very end when the screen is about to go black; pretty much how I felt at the end.
