Midsommar Review: A Summer Horror Movie That Might Mess You Up For Days
which had Spidey and his high school friends taking on a European summer excursion that turns pretty lethal at points. But there was another opening that I just caught up with a couple of days ago thatis about some young Americans on what they thought was going to be a fun little summer romp in Sweden that makes that trip look like a senior citizen cruise by comparison.
He has decided to stick with that arty horror genre but really changes things up this time around by creating an unusual setting in a summery Swedish countryside where it never seems to ever get dark. This is what you might call a bright-light fright flick.
A family tragedy enters the picture for his GF Dani , and she soon finds herself joining the group in order to get a change of scenery. If that was her goal, then mission accomplished. Once they get there, they discover the place is weirder than they might have imagined, populated by a large group of villagers who seem stuck in another century — all wearing white linen outfits, surrounded by flowery motifs, weird murals in their buildings and other oddities.
Aster clearly is an exceptionally fine filmmaker and makes no false steps here, but the story he has concocted, along with the human toll on sick graphic display, makes you wonder whatwas drinking when he dreamed this whole thing up. This is one of those films that is hard to shake, try though you might. The visuals are so striking that it is tough to get out of your head. Certainly where it all leads is predictable, but the way he does it is inventive for fans of this kind of thing.
