MIDSOMMAR...

Rating: 8/10 (25 February 2020)

Ari Aster, director of Hereditary directs this bizarre kind of drama, thriller type of horrorish kind of film. It starts off with Dani's (Florence Pugh) family dying due to her sister Terri I think but not sure poisoning the home of her parents with carbon monoxide. Next thing Dani's boyfriend played by Jack Reynor gets a call from Dani and goes over to comfort her on the loss of her killer sister and dead parents. Next thing her boyfriend decides to go to a party and she goes along. Dani, her boyfriend and some other friends decide at the party they are going to Sweden for a month and a half but the trip was planned probably way before the party even happened. Dani and her boyfriend go home, Dani bites his head off because she's in shock he's going to Sweden and a heated dispute takes place. Not long after this the group including Dani go to Sweden for some midsommar festival thing to check it out and one of the group is part of this midsommar thing as he's familiar with it so tags along with the group. They get the plane then a car to the midsommar event in Sweden, once there bizarre ceremonies and practices take place and one minute it feels beautiful and a tranquil place, next one by one the group members start disappearing and this is a group of about 4-6 people. With some gore scenes and a pretty slow moving pace which others find boring it's not the best horror or film I've seen but I liked it even if it was strange.
