Brimming with new footage and extended scenes that give viewers a more in-depth look at the horrifyingly hypnotic festivities of Midsommar, the unrated director's cut will be released by A24 in select theaters across the US over a four-day span beginning Friday, August 30th and running through Tuesday, September 3rd. Check here to see if the Midsommar director's cut will be playing at a theater near you.

Written and directed by Ari Aster, Midsommar stars Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, William Jackson Harper, Vilhelm Blomgren,
Archie Madekwe, Ellora Torchia, and Will Poulter.

Synopsis: "Dani (Florence Pugh) and Christian (Jack Reynor) are a young American couple with a relationship on the brink of falling apart. But after a family tragedy keeps them together, a grieving Dani invites herself to join Christian and his friends on a trip to a once-in-a-lifetime midsummer festival in a remote Swedish village. What begins as a carefree summer holiday in a land of eternal sunlight takes a sinister turn when the insular villagers invite their guests to partake in festivities that render the pastoral paradise increasingly unnerving and viscerally disturbing. From the visionary mind of Ari Aster comes a dread-soaked cinematic fairytale where a world of darkness unfolds in broad daylight."
