Aster made the jump to feature - length filmmaking last year withHereditary , which is currently A24 ’s secondly - high grossing film in the U.S. afterLady Bird . The horror - thriller was widely lionise by criticsfor its bloodcurdling plot line and visuals , in addition to Toni Colette ’s performance as the school principal of a mob beset by a serial of tragic and worrisome incident .

A24 dropped theMidsommartrailer online today , followingthe puzzle poster ’s release last workweek . you may check it out , below .
TheMidsommarteaser lagger is exchangeable to the preview forHereditary , in the elbow room that it get going off build a common sense of apprehensiveness before then go down into an progressively rapid - fire montage of gruesome and otherwise freaky imagination . Aster ’s new film is likely much more brilliantly - lit than his debut lineament ( in keeping with the whole mid - summer theme ) , but if anything that just makes it more redoubtable when terrible thing lead off to occur . The tease also includes a bit where someone can be heard exhale forcefully throughout the preview , much like the now - infamous tongue snap noise fromHereditary . All in all , Aster seems to be using many of the same scare tactics here as he did in his former film , but with some reinvigorated twists added for good measure .
It ’ll be interesting to see if general audiences are more or less impressed withMidsommarthan they were withHereditary . The latter , as bring up , was a vital darling , yetearned a D+ CinemaScoreand failed to have much appeal beyond the hardcore revulsion - loving crowd . establish on the mystifier and its parallels toHereditary , one imagines that Aster ’s 2d moving picture will probably end up being as polarizing as his first , when it amount to mainstream moviegoers . Of course , Midsommardoesn’t want to break the bank to be considered a success in the eye of cinephiles ( much less , to cover its modest budget ) .
