Midsommar (18)
Fright Night is co-curated and co-hosted by Emily Booth and Kim Foster-Taylor, and includes a short introduction before each screening with trivia and insights into the history of the horror film.
A couple travels to Northern Europe to visit a rural hometown's fabled Swedish mid-summer festival. What begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult. Starring Florence Pugh, this A24 modern take on the folk horror genre is good competition for the classics. Fright Night meets Cult Cinema Weekend and Jack in the Green to thrill and delight you all over again!
