Wish I hadn't seen it. Very disturbing.

Rating: 1/10 (3 March 2020)

Five students: one girl and four boys. The girl has a relation with one of the boys.
The girl has a bipolar sister that demands a lot of negative attention.
Result: she requires extra attention from her boyfriend and they struggle with their relationship.
The boyfriend gets advice from his three "good" friends to end the relationship and he gets invited by them for a trip to experience a Midsummer feast with a commune in Sweden.
The girl is confronted with the suicide by self suffocation of her bipolar sister that deliberately suffocated her parents as well in their sleep.
The boyfriend reluctantly invites the girl to come along to Sweden. He "last minute" tells his "friends", right before the girl unexpectedly meets them all.
However, when she's alone with one of the friends, he tells the girl that he is very glad that she comes along too. He previously used to be a member of the commune.
In Sweden they have an idyllic acquaintance with the commune members and the brother of the "friend' that was a member.The brother invited a young couple to join the feast.
The second day of their stay the group of invitees is confronted with an horrific pagan ritual of the commune; two people in their seventies voluntarily step from a high place while everyone watches. The way those people crashed and died is explicitly depicted in the movie.
Despite the shocking event all of the invited students stay. The boy and one of his fellow students are intrigued and request to study the habits and rituals of the commune and are allowed by the elders.
The young couple that came with the brother of the "friend" that was a member, wants to leave. The boy from the couple suddenly seems to have left alone which seems strange. His girlfriend seems to have left a little later. During the stay of the invitees, more and more of them disappear. Commune members tell the rest that the others have left ...
The girl still doesn't get the attention she needs from her boyfriend.
She does get attention from the commune. After a pagan dropout match she's crowned midsummer queen.
At the same time, in a rather weird (and almost hilarious) pagan ritual the boy is lured and used by the members to impregnate a young female member of the commune. His girlfriend finds out and she's heartbroken.
Then it becomes apparent that the rest of the invited people have been horrifically sacrificed.
The midsummer queen gets a choice to have one of the members of the commune sacrificed or her boyfriend. A little later it turns out that she choose her boyfriend.
All sacrificed people have been "dressed up" in weird costumes to be burned in a wooden shed. The boyfriend was "dressed" in a bear that was slaughtered and prepared for that purpose.
The film ends with a satisfied smile on the face of the midsummer queen, while she watches the burning shed and hears people screaming from the shed. The boyfriend and two members of the commune that were sacrificed as well, are burned alive.
The girl apparently needed "some" compensation for her suffering ...
So what's the message? Be careful with people that are hurt. Let them go and get on with your own life ... before they involve you in their overcompensation.
What tells this about the writer /director and the elite critics that worship his work? Probably that's the most disturbing aspect of this movie.
IF you need to be overcompensated, watch this movie.
I wish that I was warned beforehand, because I detested it to be confronted with a very disturbing association between extreme malevolent horror and a beautiful, innocent and idyllic natural environment.
