I have just come back from the cinema, where there was a first premiere on Midsommer.
Before the movie I thought that this would be one of the bad teenage horror movies. The trailer gave me the impression that I would expect something like a Friday 13th without the splatter effects. That wasn't what I got.
There was a lot of scary effects, and they worked very well. Thumbs up for the sound editing, as you could hear they had been working a lot on it. The plot was kind of straight forward from what you would expect in a teen horror. In the first scene one of the kids kills herself, and over the movie you try to figure out why.
Where the movie lagged was specially in the ending. It seems that they tried to copy Scream too much in a way. Through the film there haven't been any action scenes, but in the end it all goes too much action, and the plot reveals itself too fast. Also, some of the young actors could have had more experience, but they had chosen a nice lead with Kristian Leth and also Tuva Novotny who plays the mysterious Swede are doing a great job.
All in all not a movie you would remember in some years, but very much entertaining. Should be seen in the cinema, so you don't lose too much of the sound quality and loudness.

It says here this was filmed in Gustavsfors in Värmland but this is actually wrong.
It was filmen in Gustavsfors Dalsland (Västra Götaland).
Loved it but not for everyone. The constant electric awkward tension, the brutal lagom, the choreography, dark humour, the set design and artwork, the handclap from literally outerspace, the people doing wtf in the background literally all the time... others will surely let it go right over their heads. If you're down, its has so much to take in it is rich in detail but you need to have the right glasses. The weak points are the supporting American roles but that's ok.
I really enjoyed this one! it was very blair witch project when they ran around in the woods, but it wasn't like a big rip-off or something. Tuva Novotny is a very good actress and the other actors did a great job! a movie I recommend!
Yes the danes has made many great movies the last years. This one was creepy, and gave me chills several times. I don't know why, but very visual mainstream american horror movies never does that. Midsommer has a great story, excellent filming and sound and some very talented young actors.
I would suggest this for everyone who likes to get scared.. :)
