Easy scares and horror lovers, here's what you can expect!
GROSSED OUT METER: 7/10 because I've watched every episode of The Walking Dead, so I'm basically immune to gross special effects. Anyway, eventually some other members of the community come smash this man's head with a mallet to put him out of his misery.
Despite their friends being missing, Dani and Christian are reeled into other things.
One cult member even pushes Christian's butt during the sex, like to help his thrust velocity, I guess? Looking back, it was really weird, but after all the strange shit that'd happened prior to it, at the time I was just like, "Is she giving him a sex thrust boost? OK, sure."
After having sex with Maja, Christian runs off, stumbles upon some stuff he shouldn't see, and the cult uses some drug to paralyze him, but keep him alive.
She chooses Christian, who is taken away, stuffed inside of a bear's carcass, placed in a temple, and burned alongside the others being sacrificed. Dani watches the temple burn and at first she seems sad, BUT THEN SHE SMILES, SATISFIED. And that's how it ends!
GIF that sums up my review of the Midsommar: See above.
Did Christian deserve to be sacrificed? Of course not. But as a viewer, it's tough to feel that bad for a character who sucked as a boyfriend and a friend the entire movie, so...
Scariness: 2/10
Grossness: 7/10 (There aren't a bunch of gross moments, but when they do gore, they really do gore.
Can an easy scare handle this: Yes, it won't creep you out at night or stick with you for weeks.
Overall rating: 7/10 — it's beautifully shot and there's a wild, trippy vibe that lingers throughout it, just be prepared to feel a little gross after, like you need to rinse you eyeballs and exfoliate your brain.
