As an ex cult member I'd also like to add the lodge to this list.

Doesn't really have the same plot as these but focuses more on the lasting effects of being in a cult (especially a jonestown type cult)

Just finished midsommar and have thoughts.

The cinematography, sound design and costume/prop/set design is amazing but from a horror perspective for me it's lacking.

It's lacking those moments that just unsettle you, it's lacking those crucial moments that build tension and a connection to the characters, even the admittedly brutal displays of the bodies at the end lacks something that I can't quite place my finger on.

While I do believe there is a place for foreshadowing in horror, there is far too much in this film to the point where it just blatantly tells you what's going to happen especially with the art on the walls.

Alot of the acting felt bland as well, and the writing felt a bit empty. Everything was too slow, until the last ten mins or so when suddenly everything was thrown at you.

Overall, I'm just really disappointed in it as a horror film but maybe I've just been desensitised to gore by hannibal and don't find it as disturbing as most people.

i just. there's something Wrong with these woods and there's something Wrong with these girls. there was always something Wrong with these girls, it was there before the woods and it remains after they've left. is there magic in the world, in the woods, that these girls have tapped into and been transformed by? is it just mental illness and trauma? is it both? does it even matter? there's something Wrong in the woods. there's something Wrong in the world. it'll destroy you either way.
