Closing the Decade: the 15 Best Movies of 2019

Midsommar

(USA/Sweden, directed by Ari Aster)

How do you follow up a movie that has been called ‘the best horror movie of the decade’ by pretty much everyone? Only a year after the huge success of ‘Hereditary’, visionary filmmaker Ari Aster returns with this wonderfully wicked folk horror tale that is ‘Midsommar’. Evolving around four American students taking part in a Scandinavian rite de passage, this is by far the sunniest, funniest, weirdest, and most brutal horror flick you have ever seen.
