9) Midsommar

Midsommar is a close investigation into the workings of a mind that has been exposed to trauma and guilt. In this Ari Aster film, the main protagonists, visit a picturesque remote Swedish village for an emotional retreat. However what appeared to be a simple village with innocent traditions soon catapults into ritualistic worshipping, human sacrifices, and a cult reality that misaligns the mind and reduces it to a vessel of the deep, primal instincts. The final scenes of the movie contribute to the psychological thriller genre by not allowing an emotional catharsis and raising more questions on what keeps the human mind sane - the society or the self.
