Saw the first showing in my area and got drat did I love this. Hereditary was all shock and uncertainty, Midsommar is dread and knowing what is going to happen but not how... Also Ari Aster is the king of smash cuts

I don't get how you don't see this as a complete parallel to Hereditary That was just a bunch of darkly lit sad family drama

Like my initial post, this movie is simultaneously parallel and perpendicular to Hereditary -- the former was all shock, where Midsommar tells you exactly what it is going to do, and then does it It's definitely less scary and more foreboding, dizzying, unsettling, and 'just not right' You can dismissively phrase any scene from any movie to make it sound stupid... The idiot old man drops his stupid snowglobe and thinks about his stupid toy and dies

air- posted:The inbred leader wore Mark's face when he bludgeoned Josh. Mark was the skinned body (remember, skin the fool) that Christian saw hanging. I think the breathing lungs was a hallucinogenic effect from tripping balls Not quite correct — Ruben was wearing Mark’s face but someone else bludgeoned Josh from behind. And it was Simon who was strung up with his lungs out, not Mark.
