Ari Aster's Midsommar takes place in a placid and very remote Swedish village during a festive solstice ritual held only once every 90 years. The celebrants are calm and welcoming, all decked out in elaborate Swedish frockery evocative of butter cookies and saffron buns. The setting is pastoral and bright — the sun doesn't set for days at a time. It's a legitimately welcoming place resembling a summer camp or even a quaint local theme park. Even when Midsommar plunges deeply into murderous intrigue — as audiences will instantly sense; no cheery isolated Swedish cult ever has benevolent intentions — one still can't help but be allured by its bucolic surroundings. That's an elaborate way of saying that Midsommar — like the director's feature debut Hereditary — is a film that masterfully handles atmosphere, and that Aster is a legit new auteur in the horror community.

Smashing someone's head open with a large mallet is simply setting their willing soul free, it's not a big deal. Connie Archie Madekwe Will Poulter Mark. Regina Lund Raggartjej. A much shorter length definitely would have helped the pacing and atmosphere, the film is overlong and could have easily been trimmed by minutes which would have tightened the pace. Have always appreciated the genre it fits in, where there are many great films, and Florence Pugh showed a lot of promise seeing her for the first time in 'Little Women'. It utilizes creative camera work and cinematography to add to the narrative. The first 20 minutes was quite good and creepy and I was intrigued but then it just got so much worse. And while I watched the theatrical version in cinemas, I did watch the Directors Cut the other day too to get a complete picture - no pun intended.

We are not stuffed inside a cavernous house of horrors this time around.

The second half is very trippy, and we delve into the world of pagan ritual and bizarre rights, which makes The Whicker Man look like a tea party.

Did think too that the film started off well, with an unsettling opening that was creepy and suspenseful. Clear your history. From beginning to end I literally could not take my eyes off of the screen. I mean, the opening mural literally tells you everything that will happen in the film. Despite all the unexpected events the characters are witnessing, that sense is kept all throughout 2h30 of film. Top credits Director Ari Aster. Director Ari Aster Hereditary might claim that Midsommar only pays homage to brilliant UK folk horror The Wicker Man, but all I can see is a blatant, bloated and extremely tedious rip-off. But if you don't mind a slow building narrative with tension, innovative cinematography and plenty of look-away gore, then you might be able to appreciate just how unique Midsommar really is. In a time where attention spans are shrinking it's rewarding and refreshing to see a film not only take it's time but to do so in a way that makes the film work even better.
