21. Midsommar (2019)

Ex Machina
A24

Fresh off the success of his flawless 2018 debut Hereditary, horror maestro Ari Aster returned to the screen with the disturbing slow-burn masterclass Midsommar, which follows a group of friends as they are thrown into the hands of a twisted cult.

Ambitious as it may be, Midsommar finds Aster refusing to get carried away by his goals, creating a vivid, well-controlled folk horror flick bursting with stunning set pieces, thrilling plot twists, pitch-black humour, and a career-defining performance from breakout star Florence Pugh.

Add to its almost dreamlike execution and the raw intensity of its cast its harrowing final scene, and what you have to Midsommar is an unsettling horror movie destined to go down as a classic.

I get to write about what I love, so that's pretty cool. Every great film should seem new every time you see it. Be excellent to each other.
