Midsommar

 MIDSOMMAR

Yesterday I watched a bizarre film- Midsommar on Canal+. It's American-Swedish horror, directed by Ari Aster in 2019. The story is about Dani, who is devastated after her sister's suicide and sets off with her boyfriend and his friends to central Sweden, where lives a commune that cultivates ancient traditions. On the spot it turns out that friends are being used as puppets in a ritual. This film shows how radical cult is working and how dangerous it can be. It's not a "lots of unnecessary blood and violence" type of horror, every harder scene is deliberated and that's what makes them even more frightening. While watching it, I was petrified. I like horror movies and feeling of being scared, but this film was sometimes too much for me. The vibe, view of compound fractures and smashed skulls was simply terrifying. In my opinion, this film is worth watching, but people who are getting scared easily should avoid it.
