“He's my good friend and I like him, but... Dani, do you feel held by him? Does he feel like home to you?” I watched the theatrical cut when it first came out in 2019, and I thought it was good, but man, the extended version made me like it so much more, as it gives us extra time with Dani and Christian relationship. Midsommar is just as disturbing as Hereditary. It is true that through a director's vision, we get somewhat of an insight into what he thinks and feels. But with Ari Aster's movies, I feel uncomfortable for different reasons because I find it impossible to comprehend where all this disturbing material is coming from.

This is the movie I expected from Hereditary. Midsommar is a visually haunting beast of a horror movie. Don’t let the warm bright cinematography and folksy music fool you. The mood is never not creepy and unsettling. Florence Pugh gives another raw intense performance as a troubled young woman invited to join her friends’ trip to Sweden where they all find themselves at the mercy of a sinister pagan cult. Ari Aster’s direction is very impressive. It’s not necessarily a violent movie but when it happens, it’s as gory as a Tarantino movie. The ending is especially disturbing.

Ari Aster is fast becoming one of my favorite horror directors. He doesn't take the easy route, his horror is a slow burn, crafted so that little moments of unease get under your skin and, like a splinter, just works its way in deeper and deeper, until that sense of dread overwhelms you. If Hereditary was about family - Midsommar is about relationships - more specifically, toxic relationships. It's also about folklore and horror too - and there is plenty to digest.

The core of the film centers around Dani (Florence Pugh) and Christian (Jack Reynor) who have been dating for a couple of years, but are clearly not "together". Dani has family issues - and things quickly come to head when her sister and parents die in rather gruesome fashion. Out of a sense of guilt or grief, …
