Got a ticket for this upcoming Tuesday evening. Hereditary legit hosed me up for a week, so I ended up reading Midsommar's leaked script just so I knew what to expect.

Just saw a showing at my local AMC theater, super happy that the premiere was on a Tuesday evening when you can see films for $5.

I read the screenplay beforehand so I knew what to expect, but even then, it was not as scary/disturbing as I expected. General audiences are going to loving HATE this movie, partially because it's being marketed as straight-up horror rather than as an artfilm. I loved all the trippyness, and especially how it was a relationship drama in the same way that Hereditary was a family drama.

Furthermore, it was genuinely hilarious at all the right times. I especially liked the part where the old guy gets his bashed in with a hammer, and then other villagers take turns doing the same thing after he's obviously already dead with no more face after the first time. But poo poo, Ari Aster really likes gory images huh.

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.

Also when he talks about the children's game "Skin the Fool".

I could not tell who it was in the movie, but in the screenplay it was the character Ulf wearing the skin (the one who got all upset at Mark for peeing on his tree/
