A Huge Disappointment

Rating: 6/10 (13 November 2019)

This film was a huge disappointment, I was expecting Midsommar to steal the show of the horror genre in 2019 from watching the trailer and after seeing Ari Aster's amazing performance with Hereditary (2018) but this movie just did not deliver.
I'll start off with the positives, first of all this movie was beautiful such good cinematography and direction. I know this is a horror movie it probably shouldn't be nice looking but the setting and the colours make the movie ten times more disturbing, seeing such horror and gore in such a picturesque environment you wouldn't usually associate horror with adds so much effect, which I really loved. The acting in this movie is very good especially from Florence Pugh, who plays the main character Dani, she adds so much dramatic tension to the film and she is an exceptional cryer. The music is great in this film adding so much tension but obviously no where near as good as Hereditary (2018).
With many positives came many negatives, the plot is the core of a movie and when the film doesn't keep you invested in the plot from start to finish, it's very hard to enjoy it. The first and second acts are great all building up to the end but the end does not deliver. Throughout the movie you feel as if they're slowly casting a shadow over the storyline, but they do nothing with that shadow. The movie felt honestly a bit pointless, the end is not there because the plot became too complex and weird where it seemed as if they were struggling to end it.
In Conclusion, this movie would be boring to the common horror audience, I think anyone looking to get into film making should most definitely watch it because the way it's shot is so inspiring but that doesn't make up for the terrible ending.
Grade: C+
