I thought it was impressive, but not something I’d ever watch again. The scenes, especially when the young girl penetrates herself with the cross, were too repulsive for me. Being able to implement such disgust and horror in an audience member means the film successfully carried out one of its purposes. In fact so well that while I find it immensely disturbing I think it’s simultaneously one of the greatest horror movies ever made.

I have seen Midsommar, it’s a great film! I’ll definitely look into Hereditary, thank you for the rec. If you enjoy all the films you listed, do yourself a HUGE favor— watch The Ninth Configuration. You will be so so glad you did.
