This is the movie I expected from Hereditary. Midsommar is a visually haunting beast of a horror movie. Don’t let the warm bright cinematography and folksy music fool you.

Dani has family issues - and things quickly come to head when her sister and parents die in rather gruesome fashion. Out of a sense of guilt or grief, …
