Plot, cast and crew

Prepare to go to a unique festival in rural Sweden if you've already made it through the "insane" true crime docuseries on Netflix and "the most disturbing" horror film about a house invasion.

The mystery horror was written and directed by Ari Aster (Hereditary), and it was produced by A24's production firm, just like a lot of today's hits.

Acting icons Will Poulter (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3), Florence Pugh (Dune: Part Two), and Jack Reynor (The Good Mother) are among the stars in it.

The narrative focuses on a broken American couple traveling to a small Sweden midsummer festival with friends.

Their relationship is in shaky shape, one of them is mourning the loss of a family member, they're going to a drug-fueled event halfway around the world, and who knows what else could go wrong?

Even though "Midsommar" was originally released in 2019, a number of horror fans have only recently discovered it.

They have flooded the internet with reactions.

Reaction

According to Box Office Mojo, Midsommar was a box office success, opening with an astounding $48 million worldwide on a $9 million budget.

Since then, it has amassed an astounding 83 percent Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer score in addition to a 63 audience score.

My face, smug, knowing I'm not 'traumatized' because I haven't watched Midsommar A24

In addition, a Facebook fan expressed their admiration for the movie in LADbible's Netflix Bangers Facebook page, writing: "This movie can traumatize you for sure. Midsommar."

And further viewers have added their thoughts.

Another user responded: "The weirdest movie I've ever watched."

"Very disturbing," another added. A third commented: "Yep very weird and disturbing. Thought about it for ages after."

"Disturbing for sure but also a masterpiece. Great actors, music, storyline. One of my favourites but never wanted to watch it again because it gives me anxiety," a fourth added.

Another sensible moviegoer who wasn't into horror wrote, "Why will I want to be traumatized?"

But why not hide from the light and head indoors in the dark to frighten yourself in a *summery* manner if that's your thing?
