Personally, I'm really interested in seeing how Aster approaches a non-horror film. His last two films were so depressing and nihilistic that he really does need a break.

Hereditary is a classic horror movie in some ways, it does break some cliches, the pace and direction are different and strange, but the structure isn't really far from a typical good horror movie. The legs for example are pretty good for Hereditary, not so much for Midsommar, but since they're both on top 5 of most successful A24 movies, they're probably happy with both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could say midsommar would appeal more to teens-people in their 20's due to the characters being college students going on a trip... they seem similar commercialness wise...

JohnnyGossamer Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Yes. I'd say Hereditary is an easier sell in just about every way. The subgenre of possession, occult, demon worship is far more tried and true. It's not nearly as long and as is paced at a better clip too.

Lucas Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Definitely won't get to see the extended in theaters so here's hoping the months leading up to a blu-ray release go by fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's currently no planned release with the extended cut. Obviously it'll happen eventually, but the current announced blu-ray release is very barebones.

Chris Knight Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Man, I’d do it if the nearest showing wasn’t 45 minutes out of my way and starting at 11pm. Guess I’ll wait for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Horror of Lucas Films Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Finally watched it. Movie was brought down by the lack of unbearable characters, when you makes a movie having as focus a character who finds peace by joining a weirdo cult, because she finally cut off the toxic relationships of her life, you need to give a reason to we buy it. And none of her friends (and even her bf) were bad enough to justify it. Any narrative logic was also throw off by the window with everything that happened post the suicide of the couple. Beautiful cinematograph, altough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
