A 'Midsommar' Director's Cut Is Coming to Theaters to Scare You Even More
One of the year's scariest movies is getting even spookier, with a new director's cut version of "Midsommar" set to hit theaters soon.
Writer-director Ari Aster's longer version of the horror hit will include both extended scenes and entirely new footage. The unrated feature will debut this weekend, beginning on August 30, in select theaters nationwide.
Here's a sneak peek teaser of the extended edition, from indie studio A24:
Yep, still as insanely creepy as ever. We'd expect nothing less from Aster, the twisted mind behind 2018's Toni Collette-starring "Hereditary."
Here's the official "Midsommar" synopsis, in case you haven't already seen the movie (and been thoroughly freaked out):
Dani and Christian are a young American couple with a relationship on the brink of falling apart. But after a family tragedy keeps them together, a grieving Dani invites herself to join Christian and his friends on a trip to a once-in-a-lifetime midsummer festival in a remote Swedish village. The carefree summer holiday in a land of eternal sunlight takes a sinister turn when the insular villagers invite their guests to partake in festivities that are increasingly disturbing.
The film stars Florence Pugh ("Little Women"), Jack Reynor, William Jackson Harper ("The Good Place"), Will Poulter, Vilhelm Blomgren, Isabelle Grill, Gunnel Fred, and Archie Madekwe.
