A24 and IMAX unite to screen an extended but of 'Midsommar'
Psychological-horror thrillers will put you on the edge of your seat in regular movie theaters, so just imagine those creepy-crawlies on IMAX! A24 and IMAX team up to bring a director’s cut of Midsommar to theaters for the first time, bigger than before — expect the IMAX format to deliver all the frights on a gargantuan scale.

Starring Florence Pugh, this movie tells the eerie story of an American couple who visit a rural region of Sweden for what they thought would be a traditional midsummer festival — but is so much gruesomely more. The film “simmers with dread, an unnerving spellbinder that dodges the usual terror tropes to plumb the violence of the mind,” raved Peter Travers in Rolling Stone.

The director’s cut promises an extra 24 minutes of footage, and in case you didn’t immediately notice, the screening date is — yes — Summer Solstice.

Thursday, June 20, IMAX theaters, imax.com, $18.21-$21.40.
