Two of Pelle's lines foreshadowed and I wanna rewatch to get a sense of what all he sees coming "Don't forget about all the Swedish women you will impregnate in June" "I lost my parents in a fire" Pretty hard to compare against Hereditary, I'd say Hereditary was scarier, while Midsommar was overall the better movie.

I'm also wondering, did anyone catch what was the point of the scissors under the baby's pillow?

Another extra thought clicked on what made Midsommar and Hereditary stand out for me, even though I don't consider them in my top 10, but I think I have an idea... The typical horror trope has death/violence from some creature, human nature from stupidity/ignorance/greed, paranormal/supernatural forces etc. The audience wants the source or whatever to be stopped, you want the killer to be caught, you blame the people for being too stupid. But Hereditary and Midsommar do it differently: they treat death as an inevitable event and there's no escape.

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

Gejimayu posted:So, a question. was there any truth to what the Swedish guy (pelle?) said about this Festival of being something very special that they only do every 90 years? They killed 9 people, and each section of their life is 18 years, so there's something to the math there. And I just don't want to believe that they kill 4.5 of Their Own every solstice, or even summer solstice, but clearly if you turn 72 that year you're going to die, so they must at least do some part of this every year. Also the line about his parents dying in a fire seems to be evidence that this happens more often than that. Probably full of poo poo. I figure making outsiders feel like they're part of some special ritual is helpful to convince them into participating
