You sold out the first screening, so we’ve added two more! Director Ari Aster’s sun-drenched nightmare Midsommar is coming back for one final screening!
Following a tragic family loss, Dani (Florence Pugh) joins her boyfriend Christian (Jack Reynor) and his friends on a trip to a rural Swedish village for a midsummer festival. What starts as an idyllic escape soon spirals into an unsettling and grotesque series of rituals, as the group becomes entangled in the dark secrets of the commune.
Bathed in bright daylight and set against an idyllic backdrop, Midsommar takes a deeply disturbing look at grief, trauma, and the lengths people will go to in the name of tradition. Aster’s trademark slow-burn tension, paired with surreal imagery and shockingly graphic sequences, creates a haunting atmosphere that feels suffocating yet oddly captivating.

As tragedy and terror pile on, the Graham family’s dark legacy comes to light in ways that will make your skin crawl.
With Hereditary, Aster doesn’t just bring jump scares—he dives deep into grief, trauma, and generational curses, crafting a horror experience that sticks with you long after the credits roll. Toni Collette gives an iconic, Oscar-worthy performance (snub of the century, anybody?) that’ll leave you shaken up long after the credits roll.
