Similar in structure to Hereditary, but a beast on its own. A group of youngsters join a rural commune in Sweden, and from the get-go you're trying to guess who'll still be alive by the end. The major actor is DP Pawel Pogorzelski, who by eerie lighting, mystifying angles on mind-boggling violence, and tracking shots delivering surprise after surprise, creates a slow-burn climaxing in flaming heights (no pun intended), reminiscent of an iconic 1973 horror movie - so expect a cinematography Oscar nomination (or win). After Hereditary and this, Ari Aster is confirming his position as a titan of horror film-making.
