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.
