New Image: The Last Supper in Ari Aster’s Midsommar

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

HEREDITARY writer/director Ari Aster's new film MIDSOMMAR had been scheduled to reach theatres the week of Independence Day. An "apocalyptic breakup", "Scandinavian folk horror" tale along the lines of THE WICKER MAN, MIDSOMMAR has been described as "WIZARD OF OZ for perverts".

The story follows 

a teenage guy who wants to break up with his girlfriend, however, holds off after a personal tragedy. This emotional build-up happens to be occurring as both are headed to a crazy 9-day festival, which only happens every 90 years, a Swedish-puritan type celebration of love and glee — with some horrific results. 

And today we have an all-new image to share with you guys from the film which seems to be depicting something called The Last Supper. Creepy, huh? Well, director Ari Aster sure hopes so telling EW recently:

The film is definitely mining the same vein as Wicker Man was working, but as a piece of folk-horror, it’s pretty irreverent in that it doesn’t really stay comfortably on that route. That’s why I’m making sure to describe it as a fairytale. It’s not a million miles away from something like Alice in Wonderland. It’s a psychedelic film. But there are no solid [comparisons] that I can hand you. I’m hoping that the film feels pretty singular and is a trip.

Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, Will Poulter, Vilhem Blomgren, William Jackson Harper, Ellora Torchia, and Archie Madekwe star in the flick which will be arriving in theatres on Wednesday, July 3rd. Check out the new pic below and the teaser above then let us know what you think thus far!
