Midsommar

Setting a horror film at night and tapping into people's fear of the dark isn't the only way of scaring an audience as Ari Aster proves with Midsommar. The film is set in Sweden during summer solstice when the sun never sets. It's a deeply unsettling work of folk-horror that wears it's Wicker Man influence very much on it's sleeve with another extraordinary performance from Florence Pugh. I think it's apt that I saw it during the middle of the day.
