This week on Earth Station Boo, we step into the bright daylight and floral terror of A24’s modern folk-horror film Midsommar. Directed by Ari Aster, this movie blends grief, emotional manipulation, and cult psychology into one of the most unique and disturbing horror stories of the last decade.
We explore Dani’s heartbreaking journey through trauma and codependency. We also look at how her transformation challenges the idea of a traditional final girl. In addition, we break down the film’s chilling rituals, unsettling symbolism, and constant use of daylight to create unease.
Midsommar also works as a horror breakup movie. Because of this, we dive into the role of isolation, cultural distance, and the fear of being a stranger in an unfamiliar place. We also ask an important question: Are the Hårga terrifying villains, or are they an uncomfortable reflection of human need?
Whether you love Midsommar, dislike it, or still don’t know what to feel, join us as we try to unravel the beautiful and haunting horror of this unforgettable film.
