Today, for those not aware is the summer solstice, aka midsummer. So, if you’re A24, it’s also a great day to drop a trailer for its upcoming horror film “Midsommar.” See? It’s perfect.
And in the new trailer for “Midsommar,” we get more creepy imagery that you would expect from the director who brought horror fans “Hereditary.” Now, for his second film, filmmaker Ari Aster brings audiences to a really weird festival in the middle of nowhere in Sweden. And as you might expect from films like “Wicker Man,” the young people that get involved in this festival start to experience some really creepy, horrific things.
In our review for the film, we said, “Admirable, ambitious and impressive, but ultimately aloof, ‘Midsommar’ has its delights for sure, but it lacks the emotional depth to match the sharp insights it has into the evils of the ambivalent, wishy-washy relationship (run as fast as you can)…‘Midsommar’ is its own kind of cautionary tale, a floral, psychedelic, “He’s Just Not That Into You” for movie-going culture.”
Ari Aster’s latest horror film stars Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, William Jackson Harper, and Will Poulter.

A couple’s vacation to a Swedish village takes a sinister turn when the insular townspeople invite them into a series of rituals that render their pastoral paradise increasingly unnerving, in this dread-soaked and viscerally disquieting psychological thriller.
