I mean it was OK, but I felt like I was watching the same exact film.

I also anticipated it would be like the Wicker Man, except it felt more visceral and surreal than Wicker Man could ever hope to achieve.

Midsommar was really hard to watch. I know its supposed to be uncomfortable, but I could never rewatch it, it was a bit much for me

I loved Midsommar and Hereditary a bunch. There's some shit in the background of Midsommar that is pretty chilling. The director's cut of Midsommar is longer but actually makes the movie feel a lot better and more cohesive.

Same. I like the Wicker Man, but Midsommar was kind of an improved version of the concept.

Also, Wicker Man is 1000x better than Midsommar and I loved Midsommar.

True, but I like period pieces and I liked the mood of the film so I didnt mind it. And yeah, the main actor was great.

I remember reviews for Midsommar kept including "oh its such a happy ending" and now the only thing I can think about that movie is "what movie were those guys watching?"

Liked the movie tho

I havent seen the wicker man but I thought midsummar was great. Never seen any other movie that built such an impending sense of dread the whole time

and hereditary was the only movie thats actually scared me since I was a kid. I hope Ari Aster makes another movie soon

@Diokneesius I could have sworn you hated "The Boys," but you made it to the finale. what happened?
I wanna say I got over it, but that's not exactly right. i still think it's super mean and disgusting. i just like it enough to outweigh that stuff. i really like butcher and annie. i also read the comic and that gave me a little more perspective

I mean Hereditary was basically Don't Look Now x Rosemary's Baby. I like Ari Aster's movies but both of his major works have a shit ton of stuff borrowed from classic horror films.

I thought Heriditary was fantastic. Midsommar was meh-ish. I mean, it wasn't bad, but it felt like a step down from Heriditary.

after watching Hereditary and Midsommar, I feel like Ari Aster just isn't a director whose movies I'll ever like.

...I'll still give them a chance, though.
