HEREDITARY writer/director Ari Aster's new nightmare MIDSOMMAR will be released on Digital next month and on Blu-ray and DVD in on October. Aster recently confirmed there is an extended cut of the film out there that is at least 30 mins longer… but this isn't it. Hopefully, that will be released in the near future though. We'll keep our ears open. Until them, you can check out the Blu-ray cover art below and let us know what you think!

Let the Festivities Begin: Manifesting Midsommar featurette
Bear in a Cage promo
Rated R for "disturbing ritualistic violence and grisly images, strong sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use, and language," it's as an "apocalyptic breakup," "Scandinavian folk horror" tale along the lines of THE WICKER MAN – and simply, "WIZARD OF OZ for perverts."
MIDSOMMAR tells the tale of
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.
Written and directed by Ari Aster MIDSOMMAR stars Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, Will Poulter, Vilhem Blomgren, William Jackson Harper, and Ellora Torchia. It will be released on Digital via A24 on September 24 and on Blu-ray and DVD via Lionsgate on October 8, 2019.
Now I don't know about you but I cannot wait to snag a copy of this flick on Blu-ray. I missed it when it hit theaters earlier this year, but I've been hearing nothing but stellar things about it since then so I know I will be snatching up a copy as soon as it hits in October. How about you?
