Midsommar
Dani’s sister commits suicide and kills her parents along with herself. Dani is somewhat codependent on her boyfriend Christian. Christian and his buddies are going to Sweden with another of their friends, Pelle back to the commune village where he grew up. Christian invites Dani to go with them.
After they get there, they do some mushrooms, things get trippy. It is the beginning of a nine day summer solstice festival. Another of Pelle’s friends from the village also brought home a couple of friends.
Everyone in the village lives together in various barns and buildings. They support themselves with agriculture and art sales.
On the first day of the festival, the two oldest people in the village, as a part of the ritual throw themselves off a cliff. One dies from impact, the second only breaks his legs, so three of the villagers bash his head in with a large wooden hammer. This part is very graphic and disturbing. It also freaks out all of the guests. Over the next several days many of the guests begin disappearing, with the explanation that the decided to leave.
Finally the only two guests left are Dani and Christian. Dani wins the dance off contest among all the young women in the village and is crowned the May Queen.
Christian is given more hallucinogenic drugs and coerced into have sex with one of the village virgins while surrounded by about 10 of the older women in the village, all naked.
Dani sees Christian fucking the virgin and is overcome with betrayal. Once Christian gets down deflowering the virgin he runs around the village naked and finally discovers several of the bodies of his friends and other guests.
He’s caught and drugged with something that paralyzes him.
There is a big final meeting of all of the villagers whereby it is declared that there needs to be 9 human sacrifices to ensure strong crops and fortune for the coming year. 4 of the guests that have been killed already count towards the total. The 2 elderly villagers that threw themselves over the cliff also count. And there are 2 other living villagers that have volunteered that will count. There will be a drawing with a bingo or lottery ball thing for the name of one villager and the May Queen (Dani) gets to choose between that person and Christian as to who is the 9th human sacrifice.
You guessed it, she chooses Christian. Christian’s paralyzed body is sewn up inside a large bear carcass. He along with the other 8 bodies for a total of 9 are placed inside this sacred building on the edge of the village. So if you’ve kept track, 3 of these people are alive. The building is set on fire and it is all consumed.
The villagers begin dancing around as the screams of the living are burned.
