About this listen
In Ari Aster’s Midsommar (2019), horror doesn’t hide in the shadows — it blossoms in the light. Join me as we travel to Hälsingland, where grief becomes ritual, flowers mask teeth, and the sun never sets.
This episode explores:
Dani’s journey from devastating loss to May Queen.
How cults prey on the vulnerable, offering belonging in exchange for obedience.
The clash between individualism and community, grief and ritual, liberation and control.
Why Midsommar has become an icon of “daylight horror,” echoing films like The Wicker Man and reshaping modern horror.
Grief burns, flowers bloom, and the fire still waits.
