Midsummer 90

A grieving couple travels to a remote Swedish village for a once-in-a-lifetime midsummer festival. What begins as idyllic quickly devolves into a sinister, pagan ritualistic competition.

Midsommar was met with critical acclaim, with many praising its unique folk horror approach, striking visuals, and Florence Pugh's performance. Some found its length and explicit violence to be challenging.
