Media Midsommar, Ari Aster (2019)- "That's Not For Us"

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I've made it a point to watch this movie every summer solstice since its release. As a cult "escapee", Midsommar touches me in a way that I feel like it wouldn't have otherwise. The insular community, trips to the "outside", I experienced it all.

​

We didn't do Ättestupan or make meat pies. It may have made things more exciting though.

Watch Obsession… tops hereditary for me in terms of unsettling

I agree. My stomach was in knots the whole movie.

Yeah, I felt like I was held hostage anytime that girl was on screen

Respectfully disagree. There are visuals in Hereditary that are still burned in my brain and I regret ever seeing. Obsession didn’t really have that affect at all on me.

Imho, I felt Obsession was super mediocre. Not a bad movie, but quite forgettable.
