Midsommar: A Bloody Breakup Story Wrapped In Folk Horror
Ari Aster has carved quite a name for himself into the horror cannon with three original features that all explore deep and intimate themes under the guise of what the kids are calling “Elevated Horror”- Which, honestly- might make sense for Aster. In his debut feature, “Hereditary”, Aster explored guilt and grief through a deeply flawed family who belongs to an ancient cult. In “Beau is Afraid”, he calls back to his family dynamic themes and tells a story of a man realizing his mother’s flaws while trying desperately to make her proud- And in Midsommar, Aster explores the falling out of a toxic relationship through the ritualistic practices of a Sweedish cult. And today, we’re going to talk about it. I’m Kier with JoBlo Horror Originals- and you’re watching Deconstructing.
