A24’s Midsommar just dropped its first trailer and the buzz is building already. Ari Aster (who brilliantly directed Hereditary) cranks up the creepy factor making this easily a film we all will be clamoring to see. Check out the trailer!
Dani (Florence Pugh) and Christian (Jack Reynor) are a young American couple with a relationship on the brink of falling apart. But after a family tragedy keeps them together, a grieving Dani invites herself to join Christian and his friends on a trip to a once-in-a-lifetime midsummer festival in a remote Swedish village. What begins as a carefree summer holiday in a land of eternal sunlight takes a sinister turn when the insular villagers invite their guests to partake in festivities that render the pastoral paradise increasingly unnerving and viscerally disturbing. From the visionary mind of Ari Aster comes a dread-soaked cinematic fairytale where a world of darkness unfolds in broad daylight. Midsommar opens up on July 3rd everywhere.
