In celebration of the Summer Solstice, A24 Films has released a new trailer for Midsommar ahead of its release next month. Written and directed by Ari Aster, the ‘Scandinavian folk horror’ stars Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, Will Poulter, and William Jackson Harper; watch it here…
UPDATE: And here’s a new poster…
Dani (Florence Pugh) and Christian (Jack Reynor) are a young American couple with a relationship on the brink of falling apart. But after a family tragedy keeps them together, a grieving Dani invites herself to join Christian and his friends on a trip to a once-in-a-lifetime midsummer festival in a remote Swedish village. What begins as a carefree summer holiday in a land of eternal sunlight takes a sinister turn when the insular villagers invite their guests to partake in festivities that render the pastoral paradise increasingly unnerving and viscerally disturbing. From the visionary mind of Ari Aster comes a dread-soaked cinematic fairytale where a world of darkness unfolds in broad daylight.
Midsommar is set for release on July 3rd in the US and on July 5th in the UK.
