10 Horror Movies That Will Make You Glad You're Single

On the surface, Misdommar comes across like a Wicker Manesque movie that explores the terror of pagan cults. But, while that is undoubtedly a major part of the film's appeal, there's an even more believable element at play which grounds the horror, and that's toxic relationships.

Midsommar follows a girl named Dani who is attempting to get over the murder-suicide of her sister. Her boyfriend, Christian (who had intended to break up with her before this tragedy), reluctantly invites her to a midsummer festival, where they end up being embroiled in the antics of a terrifying cult.

You likely don't require convincing about this film's brilliance, as it was frequently touted as one of the best horror movies of 2019. It deserves this reputation, as it compellingly explores horror in a way not often seen, with bright lighting and prettiness.

Of course, there's a horrifying underbelly hiding beneath the pleasant aesthetic, and the relationship between Dani and Christian highlights that. Their failure to communicate and the growing distance between them make the film seem like a metaphorical exploration of a bad breakup.

This gives the film a deeply personal edge and has you afraid of what can happen when love grows cold.
