With the same bizarre style of painting as "Hereditary Doom", the director really abandoned the pure scaring method, which made us physically frightened suddenly, and pursued a kind of psychological fear with slow and steady shots. This is far from enough to stimulate the nerves. The director uses a more restrained and restrained method to approach the deeper anxiety of the audience layer by layer.
In "Midsummer Night", it was also caused by a family tragedy. After being stimulated, the heroine Dani decides to go to a mysterious town with her boyfriend to participate in the summer ceremony. As the town's secrets are revealed, Dani and her boyfriend gradually fall into the abyss.
And the director no longer relies on the fear of darkness, but scare you under the great light. Let you see the divinity of this civilization that you think is barbaric. Then gradually you will feel that this civilization is not so savage, it is very gentle, and it is this kind of gentleness that is slowly eroding you.
After Dani lost his family, other social relationships were disintegrated a little bit. His boyfriend had to go to the village girl (you should resist drinking the potion of love), and other friends also quarreled about the ownership of the thesis. And only this evil and mysterious family is her only place to live.
I don't think it's easy to find a female lead like Florence Pugh, dani, with all kinds of mood swings, crying, crazy, brainwashed, and dumbfounded, she's really a cow.
