Midsommar

A couple travels to Sweden to visit a rural hometown's fabled mid-summer festival.

What begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult.

Midsommar is a different kind of disturbing horror about sacrifices and rituals to manage a certain life cycle, and it does so in several ways, such as magic substances of different kinds if you know what I mean.

Reminding me of horrors such as The Wicker Man(1973), this is Ari Aster’s second picture, which has a long running time, but the cinematography, the screenplay, the performances, the music, spiral weird occurrences and eventually the creepiness(which slowly crawls, and does not quickly jump) make Midsommar one of the standout horrors for this year.

Definitely not everyone's cup of tea, including average horror fans, regarding it's slow pacing and some distinguished disturbing scenes, which includes suicide, nudity, drugs, flaying and murders, but if you're looking for an oddity, this is is.
