Cool opening establishing shots
Chilling firefighter house scene you feel the pain of Dani, music is great and unnerving
Interesting cuts and transitions
Swedish commune is gorgeous bright and colorful which is an awesome deviation from the average horror film where it is so dark that you can't see what is going on
Score is great
Imagery is fantastic
Cinematography incredible, let's you absorb the scenery
9 day festival on a commune in Sweden
Cliff sacrifice scene is incredible with amazing cinematography and amazing tension, mouth dropping moment, one of the most incredible cinematic moments I've ever seen
Brutal imagery
Christian is a neglectful and rude dude to his girlfriend and friends
Film made me contemplate life and death after how this Swedish community deals with it
Sketchy things start to happen when the two people that the brother brought try to leave
Let's them write thesis probably because he knows that his American friends aren't leaving
Connie has disappeared as well after a scream that was heard
Mark and the William are both killed by the cult as the violence and creepiness escalates
The cult is manipulating the Americans
Christian is very insincere
Amazing slow build
Dani is dealing with the loss of her family and a neglectful boyfriend
Cool use of warped imagery when they are on a trip
Swedish cult makes Dani think she is family, what she is looking for, Pelle also shows affection for Dani that Christian does not
One of the most visually appealing films I've ever seen
About loss, family and relationships
Watched her relationship burn and smiled doing so knowing that she is now free of that relationship and she has found a new family
Movie is thoroughly thought out and executed to the maximum effect
The intricacies of this cult that Aster created are incredible and so believable
The movie hits very hard when it needs to and builds tension beautifully
Overall great film that is an awesome deviation from the generic horror affair
