A straight slasher movie about a Swedish Cult!

Rating: 7/10 (10 April 2020)

Rating: 7
The title is the best summary I can put up for the movie. I cannot describe this movie in a better sense for I myself couldn't understand the motive behind it. After producing a movie like Hereditary, I believe Aster failed to shine on this one. The only reason I am giving it a 7 is because of it's outstanding visuals. I like art-movies which have beautiful visuals and this does not sway from the trend. The theme of the film also revolves around manipulation. It shows how cults tend to manipulate the weak by seducing them in showing the world their way.
The Good - The cinematography and the acting. I appreciate the visuals, the vividness and the brilliant acting put up by Florence Pugh. I also like the fact how some scenes turn out to be outright hilarious, disturbing and sad.
The Bad - Although Pugh's acting was great her character was whining at every moment in the film. I don't know whether to sympathize with the character or just be depressed by it. The movie involves grotesque rituals which will either be comical or disturbing to you.
I could find symbolism in the movie and I wouldn't point it out as I would like for you to see it. The movie is for the people who appreciate experimental, art-movies. If you want to watch a horror movie for jumpscares, this movie is not for you.
