Midsommar is not scary

Very unsettling and uneasy but not scary

If you been an avid horror fan the genre just dosen’t make you jump anymore, it’s more to do with it being entertaining than anything so it’s hard for me to judge.

But with Hereditary the atmosphere and story leaves you tense, horrified and disturbed since it’s more grounded and relatable than most horror is, so in that sense for someone that’s more effected by real life s*** (2/3s of the movie) and psychological horror it hits. It sticks with you longer. Unsettled is probably best word for it, it’s not jump scare scary but it’s definitely one of the most effective films of the decade without a doubt.

Who above the age of 10 is actually afraid of movies?

Midsommar's vivid depiction of anxiety and social alienation is more discomforting than fake blood or a jump scare. People said the same about Babadook not being scary like raising a dysfunctional child on your own isn't a nightmare. The scariest scenes in The Exorcist aren't the girl saying f*** you and spraying pea soup on the wall, it's the child going to the doctor. The scariest scene in Frankenstein isn't a shadow on the wall, it's the monster carrying the girl into the village.

Without a doubt.

Stop hyping f***ing Mid Aster please

Hereditary kind of a meme, but Midsommar is a very prescient and important film. Unfortunately, he's too main stream for hipsters and not genre enough for horror nerds. So it's geniuses like me and casuals.

Discomforting yes, but “scary” doesn’t feel like the correct term to describe that film.

Tell me what is scary. A spooky ghost? A big bad monster? Or realizing you're alone and that your culture is entirely complicit in keeping you that way?

A spooky ghost for sure

That movie was hilarious fym

One of the scariest yeah

There are some pretty scary Asian films out there tho

Movies more of a comedy than a horror

I’d say hereditary is the only scary movie I’ve seen this decade

Something I can’t comprehend tbh

The Thing (original) does it perfectly imo. At its core, it’s a monster, but there’s so much more to it the viewer never learns. It’s this sense of mystery that keeps everyone on their toes and is legitimately terrifying to think about

Midsommar is great, one of my favorite films this year, but I can’t call it scary

it follows is ultimately better

I haven't seen midsommar so i can't comment on it but hereditary is good, not amazing or groundbreaking but defiantly a good film that i enjoyed

A lot of haters itt lol. If we’re talking “scary”, it’s 2019; most movies aren’t actually “scary” anymore. We aren’t teenagers and kids(unless we are) with wild imaginations and basic fear of the dark. Hereditary is a great horror film. S*** had so much feeling of dread from beginning to end. That gripping feeling from the story telling is way more important than trying to “scare” the audience in this day and age imo. All the movies I see y’all listed itt also have great storytelling that pulls you in.
