Weekly Movie Review: Midsommar (2019)

It had a lot of hype. And for the most part, it didn’t disappoint. We get really beautiful shots of nature juxtaposed with visceral horror. We get to see things through the eyes of the female and male perspective. It’s hard not to choose sides within the first 15-20 minutes. We start in the darkness of the city and quickly get immersed in the light of the deep countryside. Unsettling = definitely. Trippy = most certainly. Humorous - at times, hell yeah. You wouldn’t guess the movie is almost two and a half hours long. But we get a little one dimensional as the movie wears on, and echoes of Hereditary pop up more and more towards the end, which was disappointing to say the least. Still, it’s new and fresh and artistically, just stunning. But horror-wise, it was lacking.

7.5/10
