Dive deep with Ray Taylor as he explores the eerie and mesmerizing world of "Midsommar", Ari Aster's 2019 folk horror magnum opus. The film trails Dani (Florence Pugh) and Christian (Jack Reynor), an American couple whose fragile relationship is further tested when they, along with their friends, venture to a secluded Swedish village. Enthralled by the allure of a seemingly innocent midsummer festival, they soon unearth the terrifying secrets and rituals of a cult steeped in ancient Scandinavian traditions. Amidst the backdrop of endless daylight and picturesque landscapes, the horror that unfolds is both haunting and tragically beautiful. Join Ray as he dissects the intricate layers of the film, from its portrayal of grief and relationships to its chilling take on pagan rituals.
