The only horror is the 2.5 hours I wasted watching this drivel

Rating: 1/10 (20 October 2019)

Like most of the other people commenting here, I watched Hereditary, liked it, and had high hopes for this director's next movie. But the only thing Midsommar proved to me is that he is not artistic, pretentious, and obsessed with his work.
Making this type of film, in my mind, does not require any talent. All you need is a shallow, half baked script, a beautiful geographical location, good set designers, and anything you can add to make it as weird as possible. Making bizarre scenes is not hard; it's incredibly easy. What is hard is making a movie that makes the audience feel equally as weird as the characters who are experiencing the scenes. I did not feel that here. I could not relate to any of the characters. The characters were no different from the quintessential horror movie character who acts the most idiotic way possible and is so disconnected from any natural human reaction. I would not be this upset if I only spent an hour, a max hour and a half watching this. A bunch of idiots travel somewhere unknown and willingly kill themselves because they are incredibly stupid. But I wasted two and a half hours.
Ari Aster, do us all a favor and stop making nonsense. You are not a talented horror movie director/writer, and please don't think your movies are at the same level as Rosemary's baby. You're just too full of yourself to see what a waste of time drivel this movie is. I am done with Ari Aster movies for good.
