Midsommar is just another basic horror film. Here's the plot: Four American college kids and the girlfriend go on a trip to a commune in Sweden that's located way up in the back hills, far away from civilization. Once they get there they are killed off one by one until just the girlfriend and boyfriend are left. Because this commune is so cut off they need "donors" to keep things going. Both the boyfriend and girlfriend are drugged. The boyfriend is seduced by one of the commune women. They throw him in a room with the other dead people and set the whole building on fire. The girlfriend watches as she is stoned, as well. The end.
There are some details that the movie throws at you all along the way so you don't realize just how dumb this movie is. E.g., at the beginning of the movie the girlfriend's sister kills her parents and commits suicide which leaves the girlfriend understandably distraught.
In a commune ritual, two old people commit suicide by jumping off a cliff into the rocks below. One doesn't die from the fall so his head is bashed in with a very big hammer. Another of the kids accidentally pisses on a sacred tree. You don't even see him get killed. He's just asked to follow someone so you're kept in suspense wondering how they did him in.
Saturday night and I wanted to watch a movie. This movie was so bad I didn't even finish my popcorn.
