Gone are the days of caked-up, wet-hair ghosts and their jump-scares because a new horror movie has come to the cinemas that have been deemed so scary, people are falling sick and facing trouble sleeping at night. By the director of Hereditary, Midsommar is the newest horror movie that is leaving fans petrified and mortified. The movie stats off with a couple and their two friends travelling to Sweden for a rural hometown's fabled mid-summer festival. The seemingly-idyllic retreat very much reminiscent of the infamous Vissarion Christ of Siberia that only sees the bright-blue summer takes a dark turn as the group of friends find themselves at the mercy of the unforeseen and violent pagan cult.
The film's official trailer itself offers bits and pieces of cynicism that lies ahead such as the disembowelment and brutal beatings which fans, who have seen the movie clearly suggests that the trailer doesn’t show what horror really lies ahead once inside the movie.
From claiming that the movie made them want to pass out to scenes from the movie so horrifying that they are permanently scarred for life, Midsommar sure doesn’t sound like a movie not for the faint-hearted.
Check out some of the tweets by fans here:
There are many images from #Midsommar that are so horrifying they have been permanently seared into my brain. I see flashes them of them at random. Damn you, Ari !
