Why Ari Aster's Midsommar Still Trips Will Poulter Out
Midsommar didn't only leave a chilling impression on the audience but on the cast too, as Will Poulter was tripped out by it at a festival.
Midsommar (2019)
Ari Aster's Midsommar follows a group of American college students who travel to a friend's isolated rural hometown in Sweden to experience their renowned midsummer festival. What starts out as idyllic quickly becomes a disconcertingly violent pagan ritual, with the friends engaged in a ruthless competition that will test more than just their friendship. Florence Pugh stars alongside Jack Reynor, Will Poulter, and William Jackson Harper.
