DVD: Midsummer

Midsommer is a psychological horror film directed by Ari Aster, following a group of American students at a Swedish music festival during the midnight sun. The film blends pagan holidays and traditions with deep personal grief, as the protagonist Dani seeks comfort among cultivated Sweden—while the festival gradually reveals its darker purpose. With its visual poetics, long takes without fast cuts, and unsettling atmosphere, the film creates a very particular kind of shudder, where the danger comes from people and rituals rather than supernatural beings. Perfect for fans of artistic film horror and cultural mysteries.
