Midsommar (2019)
More than a horror film

In between those two points, it's fun to see how this film plays with horror tropes, particularly the low-key picking-off of the bro club as if they were Camp Crystal Lake counselors, but what's far more in the forefront is the atmosphere of beautiful and otherworldly dread. It's a slow-build horror film, if it's a horror film at all, and mostly I would argue it is not, any more than "The Wicker Man" was, or "Jacob's Ladder" was. Or if it is, it's rewriting the genre. I'm more than cool with that.
