The Midsommar scary scenes have cemented it as a modern horror classic. Ari Aster created the polarizing horror movie that left a lasting impression on both those who disliked it and those who can't stop raving about it. The occult theme is reminiscent of The Wicker Man, and the atmosphere captures a lot of the same terror from Aster's previous film Hereditary. Nearly the entire film takes place in broad daylight, and the cinematography is vibrant and stunning at all times, which also helps to make the experience extremely unsettling—especially when the Midsommar disturbing scenes feature some serious nightmare material that audiences can't forget.
