midsommar movie review

[Trill Clinton]

i love horror and suspense films and i admit the colorful trailer had me thinking it was going to be trash so i skipped the theater release. But I was bored with Mrs. Clinton so I convinced her to watch it with me. It was as slow buildup but it didn't take long for me to dislike Dani:flipoff

Needy ass girlfriend who guilts her boyfriend, Christian into staying with her even though he is ready to break up with her. I won't spoiler it but something happens that further guilts him into staying with her while she is a depressed shell of herself for days. He decides to go on a summer vacay with his college buddies to Sweden and she invites herself...and he lets her come:dramaquee

The colorfulness and beautiful scenery actually adds to the demonic shit that comes after they arrive. Something about gruesome deaths with people singing and dancing with flower crowns in perfect 80 degree sunny weather is eerie tbh.

Anyways, I thought the movie was pretty good and look forward to the director cut. In summary, white people crazy. I give this movie 3.5 black n milds out of 5.

:tu Thanks for posting.

I enjoy horror/suspense movies but the ones worth watching are pretty few and far between. This one has been on my radar. Will check it out for sure.

Speaking of white people crazy, did you see Hereditary? It wasn't as good as some of the reviews said but it was still worth watching.

I think people went a bit too crazy over it. I thought it was actually quite good but every second person saying "Oh ITS THE SCARIEST SHIT EVER" ruined it a bit in a way.

I love the absurdity of both films. Midsommar took it to another level. It's almost a black comedy. You'll find yourself laughing at some pretty odd times. On the other hand, there's also some pretty confronting shit too.

No I haven't but I will. I heard the witch was good too. I'll def be watching Hereditary and Revenge this weekend.

The Witch was pretty solid. The dude who made that has a new one coming out... The Lighthouse (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7984734).. looks good.

x2 on The Witch.

And your comment about the reviewers calling Heredity, "scariest movie ever". I liked the movie as well but had way too high hopes.
Since then, I think I've seen "scariest movie ever" used on about 10 different movies.

My expectations weren't heightened by the hype but I'm really curious why the movie tried to market itself as a horror when it was more of a psychological thriller with some horror elements. All they did was set people up for disappointment doing that

The same guy didn't make Hereditary and Midsommar? They all look similar.

Hereditary and Midsommar are the same director.

The Witch and the Lighthouse are a different one

it was as expected and i'd probably throw it the same amount of blunts as you did minus the wood filters. :tu

want some real cult insight? watch holy hell and wild country on netflix. shit's crazy and you can also see the commie influence within most all cults which is odd too.

[koriwhat]

if you haven't seen terrifier(netflix) yet go for it even though i wasn't impressed by it. it was def a "scary" movie but the gore is was sickened me to the point of not liking the film.

I knew it wasn't a straight up horror movie which is why I was pretty excited by the "scariest movie" tag. I thought it was going to be one of those creepy af movies that sticks in your mind. Those are far scarier to me that hack and slash horror moves.

Glad this movie is getting some love. I didn't like Hereditary, but for me Midsommar is brilliant. One of the most beautifully shot films I have ever seen. I agree that it is a black comedy, just a very very dark black comedy.

Don't give Christian any credit though he is a coward and selfish.

I don't want to give spoilers but















I liked the power switch between the two :lmao :lol

It's rare to come across a really good black comedy. Happiness is the one that comes to mind immediately when I think of peak dark humour but this is up there now. I felt like a piece of shit but I (and half the cinema) were smiling and laughing through all the fucked up shit. I guess thats the point :lol

I agree with the coward part but how was he selfish?
