Ari Aster Proves Himself a Master of Horror Tone and Atmosphere!

Rating: 9/10 (12 August 2019)

Just like I did with Hereditary (2018) I went into Midsommar thinking I would be presented with a terrifying film, instead I found myself viewing a feature that didn't scare me and yet it filled my body with dread. I would describe Midsommar as a wonderful trip that invites you into its brutal and somber world, and ultimately drops you off at the odd bus stop that was its ending and says "that's it, bye". I love how artistic and unique it looked, with a story that presented itself as original and daring, with a world overflowing with interest; if I had not been disappointed by the simplicity of its finale, I would have easily given this feature film a 10/10!
