Jack Reynor Tells Will Salmon About Midsommar – Hereditary Director Ari Aster’s “hardcore” Next Film

This Ain't The Love Of Summer

Last year’s Hereditary announced director Ari aster as a seriously impressive new talent. the horror auteur is already back with Midsommar, a freaky folk horror that finds no fun in the sun...

In the film, young couple Christian and Dani travel to a Swedish festival that takes place once every 90 years. they’re hoping for a respite from their personal woes, but instead end up amidst a sinister cult, pagan rites and bloodshed taking place in the harsh light of day. Jack Reynor, who plays Christian, teases the horror to come...

Where do we find Christian and Dani at the beginning?

They’re pretty fractured and broken. they’ve been in a relationship for about five years now, but Christian is finding it difficult to continue... A tragedy befalls Dani (Florence Pugh), which leaves him feeling that he has to stay in the relationship out of guilt. He doesn’t have it in him to call it a day. so they decide to take a holiday and go to Sweden on a trip with a couple of friends… and that’s where things go wrong.

What appealed to you about the film?

Making Alien - Jaws in Space - Forty-five years on from its original release, Alien continues to terrify. We dissect what arguably remains the most chilling instalment in the saga

The seven-strong crew of the commercial mining spacecraft the Nostromo seal their fate after reluctantly responding to a mysterious distress signal on a hostile planet. Here, a face-hugging alien from a derelict ship impregnates and later kills executive officer Kane (John Hurt) after its offspring is birthed onboard. After being unleashed, the fearsome newborn with acid for blood proceeds to dispatch the remainder of the crew.Ridley Scott's much more convoluted prequels have yet to reveal how the knowledge that led to this initial interception was acquired. However, the premise of the original Alien is perfect in its uncomplicated purity.
