Ari Aster is a master of elevated horror, providing a ton of unseen Midsommar Easter eggs throughout the film. Dubbed “folk horror,” Midsommar is unique as there isn’t any physical darkness to be found throughout the technicolor journey. However, Aster’s tale is no less frightening as he unfurls unflinchingly gory scenes of loss, betrayal, and ritualistic violence. Midsommar sees grad student Christian (Jack Reynor) reluctantly take his girlfriend Dani (Florence Pugh) on an educational trip to Sweden to observe the customs and practices of Pelle’s (Vilhelm Blomgren) home commune for their mid-summer festival.
