New Midsommar Footage Makes A Nightmarish Set Of Rituals Look Like A Vacation

The upcoming Midsommar has essentially perfected the art of creating a terrifying brush with what looks like a cult seem like an idyllic Swedish getaway.


That's the vibe in the newest Midsommar footage as well, which lists off just some of the ways those who find themselves whisked away to the nightmarish summer festival can like their time there.


Ari Aster's abnormal summer thriller looks like one insane trip, although that's to be expected from the same director who brought us Hereditary, soon considering that. The latest footage from the upcoming movie gives a brief "overview" of the activities you could supposedly take part in as soon as attending the festival, like "chanting, blood pacts, clubbing, BBQ, and parades." Uh, yeah. It certainly sounds fun on paper, nevertheless in reality it'll be anything but. There's also "games" and "bonding" to take part also, in case you call being forced to take hallucinogenic substances a bonding experience.


The movie follows a American couple, Dani and Christian, who are dealing with some relationship troubles. Soon after flying off for a trip to Sweden for some group kind of peculiar festival in a remote village, things are about to take a turn for the worse. Soon, their relationship woes will be a thing of the past as they as an alternative find themselves coming face to face with some categorize kind of cult with its own set of stomach-churning rituals. The gorgeous, flower-laden fields and sunlight-soaked village belies something far more sinister than it's letting on, and it's going to be a treat watching it all unravel. While we've only seen quick glimpses of the disturbing visuals the movie will distribute for now, it definitely looks like an experience we won't soon forget.


Midsommar is hitting theaters on July 3. With Stranger Things Season 3 starting the next day on July 4, it's looking like a satisfying week for entertainment.
