    I did not get why people liked Midsommar.

    Same idea of folk/cult horror, old The Wicker Man (1973) was more coherent, and had a point.

      I need to rewatch Wicker Man, I remember liking it as well.

      On Midsommar: I loved the atmosphere, the whole getting sucked into a cult thing. To me, that was the point. But I don’t actually need a point to like a movie. It just needs to click with me. Could be just atmosphere or even setting or the acting. Everybody seems to hate Exorcist 2, for instance, I really enjoy that one for the whole backstory, setting and, again, the atmosphere.
