Celebrate MIDSOMMAR On Demand in September; Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack Arrives in October
It might not be dominating the horror landscape like Hereditary did in 2018, but expect Ari Aster’s follow-up, Midsommar, to adorn many “Best of 2019” lists. If you missed the apocalyptic break-up movie when it was in theaters, you’ll be able to join the festivities when Midsommar arrives On Demand beginning September 24th; a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack will follow on October 8th from Lionsgate.
Synopsis:
After a family tragedy, a young American couple joins some friends at a midsummer festival in a remote Swedish village. What begins as a carefree summer holiday takes a sinister turn when the insular villagers invite their guests to partake in festivities that grow increasingly unnerving and viscerally disturbing. From the visionary mind of Ari Aster (Hereditary), comes this dread-soaked cinematic fairy tale where a world of darkness unfolds in broad daylight.
The film stars Florence Pugh (upcoming Black Widow and Little Women) as a young woman who reluctantly joins her boyfriend on a summer trip to a remote Swedish village for a midsummer festival, which becomes more and more sinister as the days pass. The Rotten Tomato Certified Fresh™ film also stars Jack Reynor (Kin, Free Fire, TV’s Strange Angel), William Jackson Harper (TV’s The Good Place, They Remain, TV’s Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan), and Will Poulter (The Maze Runner, Detroit, The Revenant). Executive produced by Philip Westgren (Hellboy), Fredrik Heinig (Thelma), and Ben Rimmer (Ibiza, TV’s Mr. Selfridge), Midsommar is “an expert piece of daylit terror” (Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York).
