Grieving after a family tragedy, Dani joins her distant boyfriend and his friends on a trip to a midsummer festival in a remote Swedish community. The days never darken, the welcome is warm, and the mood is unlike a conventional horror film: bright, patient and unsettling.
Why it matters in cinema history
A landmark of the post-2010 revival of folk horror, and a key example of how horror became a vehicle for personal, emotionally driven auteur filmmaking.
Watch with intention
Watch it as a story about one person's emotional state first, and a horror film second.
