Watching *MIDSOMMAR* For The 1ST Time And It Was HORRIFYING... 

Somebody tell me why are these the kind of movies y’all like? 😂 I just don’t understand… What movie should I do for the month of November? #bingers

Watched midsommar with a guy who agreed with everything Christian did and every time Dani would have a panic attack or even discuss things with Christian in a calm way, he'd go "hahah, fucking women bro..." Needless to say midsommar in a weird way prevented me to continuing talking to this man 😂

You guessing the cult recruiter straight away from “the way he’s talking ever so softly” got me 😂

She did not actually get revange and is not a happy ending. This movie is supposed to show how cults manipulate vulnerable people with a fake sence of saveness. She is not happy at the end, the cult made her crazy

23:50 an ex cult member actually reacted to this scene and said it was spot on. It’s a method used to make a new member feel as if the rest of the group feels their pain or other emotions. It seems odd but it’s psychologically very effective especially for someone really suffering

if we've learned one thing today, it's that billy has never done psychedelics. ever.

Billy, whoever suggested this movie wanted to see your world go up in flames because damn.

Anyone else a little bothered that he completely missed the undertones that Dani wasn't actually a bad 'abusive' girlfriend, her boyfriend's friends were just literally villainizing her for asking him to be there for her in her emotionally vulnerable times of dealing with the death of BOTH her parents?

“Where do they come up with the ideas for these movies?” Real life cults, Billy. The sacrifices and rituals shown in this film come from real life Swedish cults.

A cult deprogrammer broke down the crying scene for me: Essentially what they're doing is officially transitioning her into becoming one of them. On the surface it looks like they're just sharing a moment of vulnerability with her. But if you look, you can see how manipulative it actually is: First, they essentially engulf her, so she can't see anything but them. When she starts to cry, they mimic her, as a means of showing they're with her in the moment. But the longer the crying goes on, they stop copying her, and start to cry in a rhythm, until finally, it instead of them copying her, she's copying them, by crying in the same rhythm. See how easy that was?

This reaction was hilarious as usual. In the “love” story the girl cut off pubic hair she didn’t cut herself. The blood was period blood. In many different cultures it’s used in love spells to make men fall in love. If you’ve ever heard the term “don’t eat the spaghetti of a woman you don’t know” it comes from that same idea.

All the people who thought this was a “happy” ending was either in a cult, is going to be in a cult, or is currently in a cult.

The sister killed herself and her parents by attaching a hose to the car engine, and dragging it into the house, and went further by taping an extra hose to her face. There is a theory that the cult did this, since you see flowers around Dani's picture, and the sister looks shellshocked and terrified, and the tape can either imply determination on her behalf, or force. As much as I hate Christian, he didn't deserve his faith. He was raped, and murdered. He was a bad boyfriend and friend, but he didn't deserve what he got. I think the final line of the screenplay sums the film up perfectly: "A SMILE finally breaks onto Dani’s face. She has surrendered to a joy known only by the insane. She has lost herself completely, and she is finally free. It is horrible and it is beautiful."

Apparently the Director, Ari Aster, was going through a break up himself when he originally wrote this movie. He also mentioned how they did go to Sweden and studied the architecture and traditional clothing the people wore here. The person who designed the traditional outfits said that every outfit was hand made and all were different. She said the hardest thing to create though was that flower dress Dani wore at the end of the movie and it was very heavy. The actress legit had a hard time walking in it. While I'll never see this move due to having a very weak stomach, I do like all the hard work the production team did to make this movie as authentic as possible.

The disconnect with thinking they are both toxic when Christian and everyone around Dani is gaslighting her into believing that her genuine concern for her sister's actions was actually mind boggling and really misses the whole point of the movie. Christian was literally toxic to everyone and Dani was traumatized and grieving.

It's kinda funny how you missed the message Dani got from her sister in the beginning. Her sister was bipolar and she sent a message saying "I see black, I'm going home and mom and dad are coming too" that's why you see the pipe on the girls mouth, she also put it in the parents room. So basically Dani has no one, her sister and her parents are gone and she has a toxic boyfriend.

In defense of Pelle speaking "ever so softly", Swedes don't like it when people are loud. Scandinavians are a chill people. Most Europeans listening to your video would be like "why is this guy always yelling?"

I am so ready for Billy to watch Midsommar

What in the “I came to invade your land” is this?!?! 💀☠️😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 and the fact you picked up on the guy looking like a cult recruiter hahahaha After your Hereditary reaction, I knew this one wasn’t going to disappoint! Lol

For everyone wondering, as a Swede I can say that, no none of this weird stuff is done for real here. Some are ancient rituals people did a long time ago or completely made up. We do celebrate Midsommar and people can dress the same, and dancing around the pole is a thing. Other than that we mostly get really drunk haha

i actually love this movie a lot! christian is an awful boyfriend, manipulating her when she's vulnerable. i know he didn't want to break up with her right when that awful family tragedy hit, but it would've been kinder. he has zero empathy for her throughout the movie, and that helps drive her towards the only people offering empathy- which just so happens to be the cult. notice how christian said "a real attestupa?" he knew what it was, and didn't warn her after knowing her sister committed suicide as well. everyone else is also at fault there, but... he's her boyfriend, he's supposed to care about her mental state. anyone with a shred of compassion should've warned her, but it's a horror movie, so we don't get that. the first time i watched this movie, i had to sit and think about it for like an hour afterwards, it's very intense.

Billy not knowing about carbon monoxide poisoning is so pure.

no Billy, you were not supposed to feel happy at the end. you were supposed to feel dreadful because essentially, Dani is broken and she is trapped in this cult that she will probably never escape. it's sad, really. great reaction, like I knew it would be.

Just a different take, but, if you look at Horror movies as more commentary or satire of societal and human dilemmas, then I think you'd enjoy more of the thrillers than you have been. I'm actually shocked you didn't like this one or Hereditary. They're both diving into the horrors of social and human dilemmas that are then aided by the things unknown. It's never really a ghost or ghoul... just people being crappy to each other.

“This movie is wild” basically the only way I can explain this movie

Oh poor billy, you are in for a wild ride my friend with this movie. Can’t wait to see your reactions. Make sure you don’t eat before, that’s for sure

21:53 Christian looked scared/nervous because he was drugged. which makes this scene all the more disturbing.

#bingers - Don't Breathe - The Ring (2002) & Rings (2017) - Halloween (Franchise) - Happy Death Day - Escape Room (2019) - Saw (Franchise) - The other movies in the Conjuring universe

LOVE that your editor had your back with the mic when you busted into commercial jingles lmao

I know October is almost over and you probably already recorded the other reactions, but Monster House is not bad. It’s an animation so definitely not creepy scary like these kinds of movies. #bingers

In my head Billy pauses the movie every time he talks so that way he doesn’t miss the details

Billy when u were mimicking their moan i freakin died🤣🤣

This movie is actually better the second time, so you can see all the images you missed

This movie left me staring at the screen in shock. I legitimately had mild panic attack after where i couldn't breathe properly and went to all my family members and told them how much i loved them. Watching Midsommar is something i'm glad I did, but i'll never do it again. Christian didn't deserve what happened to him, none of them did. He was raped and murdered, drugged and tortured.

Ah yes, Midsommar- today's groundbreaker, tomorrow's cult classic! Now we're cooking with gas~

You should watch Ready or Not! It’s a really good mix of scary and funny, without turning it into a whole horror comedy. You’ll actually be rooting for the girl instead of whatever weird feeling this movie leaves you with, too 💀

Honestly the reason this movie scares me is bcs while watching it I didn’t feel scared like I actually forgot it was horror and thriller bcs it made everything seem so interesting, for a lil there I was actually enjoying everything I had to snap myself back to reality when it ended

I’m like two minutes in and already pissed off because Billy does not understand the point that Christian is a terrible boyfriend. Anyone who takes Christian’s side in this is automatically not understanding the movie at all. But I’ll keep going….

"What Kind Of Movies Do Y'all Be Watching?!" That Took Me Out. 🤣 But Yeah This Movie Had My Stomach Bubbling And Turning So I Know How You Feel Bro.

Cult deprogrammer guy broke down some of this movie for me. Cults really do be like this and the freaky thing about it is that ANYONE can find themselves in a cult! But the fact you can point out from the beginning that he's a cult recruiter really shows how you got your eyes open! Ain't no cult recruiter coming for our Billy boy!

I am glad you got the ending - this was NOT an happy ending. BTW: She did go to therapy. Stop blaming the victim.

My experience with this movie has SOLELY been reactors and even with the edits I've always known it was a HUGE no for me. Bless you for watching it because I for SURE would've declined. The Family Stone and Almost Christmas (the Monique, Danny Glover, Gabrielle Union movie) for a holiday filled #Bingers since we ALL KNOW I constantly rock for Atlantis.

Lol your reaction was everything 😭😭😭😂😂😂😂… this movie is a hell of a psychological ride … the way I look at it is the girl Danny, I think her name is was already broken when she got there. Cults pray on people who are emotionally compromised, people with no family, people who have experienced trauma, and people who are out cast who are longing to be excepted. For Danny she was emotionally drained from trying to keep her dying relationship alive. She hated feeling like she was a burden. Then her sister kills her self and her parents so she’s literally morning over 3 people as well as the state of her relationship because deep down she knows that her boyfriend is only staying with her because her family died. So when the guy invited his friends he knew that Danny’s bf would likely invite her out of guilt. I believe getting Danny to join after her parents died was the icing on the cake to the original goal. The cult doesn’t kill everyone that goes there. I think there main goal is actually to bring in new blood for procreation as well is getting others to join them again for procreation and to replace the people they sacrifice. If you notice they only killed the people who disrespect there cultural beliefs. Like the first group that freaked out during the suicide sene. They didn’t hear them out and immediately wanted to leave. The maze runner guy peed on the ancestral tree of ashes he was killed next. Then the black guy because he went through the book after being told not to. And finally Danny’s boyfriend. As the may queen she was given the deciding power to choose weather or not she wanted to sacrifice her boyfriend. That’s why he was ultimately killed. It was the ultimate break up. When she starts crying and then stops and smiles that was the point she officially cracked and excepted everything that has happened because she had found her new home and family. The reason why is because when she’s in pain she doesn’t have to bear it alone ( pun fully intended lol) . Whenever she’s in pain or others are in pain the people mimic it and help carry the load so that the emotional toll isn’t so heavy

NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE WHOLE FAMILY WENT TO THERAPY!! Preach, Billy, Preach! All the therapy.

#Bingers Rosemary's Baby(one of the most iconic horror movies ever made and classic) The Skeleton Key ( amazing and so underrated) Trick 'r Treat (cult favorite) Candyman (classic horror)

I love this movie. I can't stand the horror genre, but as someone raised in a cult, I find cult stories somehow really satisfying and therapeutic. Seeing/hearing other people condemn the crap I was raised in is validating. I did watch a detailed breakdown of the cult elements and meaning of this movie before seeing the movie itself, which definitely affected my experience watching it.

24:00 Well i guess billy has never been too therapy before... Its called shadowing. You mimic the emotional response. Its showing the person they aren't experiencing the emotions alone. Thats been a theme of this whole movie. Danny is alone. She has no one. Even her own boyfriend doesnt care when her sister murders her parents & commits suicide. She stumbled into the perfect cult of family that accepts loners. That prays on their lack of having a foundation in life.

Disturbing is an understatement for this movie😭😭😭

Most people like to say that they would never be taken in by a cult and yet most people consider this a happy ending....

I feel you man! My friend and I went to see this movie RANDOMLY with ZERO information. When it ended we just sat in the theater - mouth agape - for a good 10 minutes past the credits just trying to process what we just saw! My cheeks hurt from all the cringing!

This fucking movie shocked the hell out of me

BILLYYYYY I SWEAR YOU BE SURPRISING ME WITH SOME OF THESE REACTIONS!!🤣🤣🤣 THIS IS BY FAR THE WEIRDEST MOVIE IVE EVER SEEN😭😭💯

Somebody told me this movie wasn't a horror movie, so I watched this video. Now I'm just sad... and disgusted...

7 MORE MINUTES AND I'LL BE HEARING BILLY 'HELL NAH' HAHAHAHA

alternate title: billy getting traumatized for 27 minutes straight

Damn Ari Aster is so good at making you uncomfortable. First hereditary now midsommar. Love him.

24;07 They're sharing her grief - making her one of them. Making it seem like she can express herself with them and that only they can understand her - which wouldn't be too hard since her friends barely even notice she's there and have no regard for her feelings whatsoever. That's how cults work, breaking down the individualism and making them feel like they're have no where else to go. I suppose if you'll ask them they'll say they were giving comfort to their May Queen.

I felt like I watched something I shouldn’t have been watching the first time lol, I love it though. Psychological thrillers are my favorite and this one has SO MUCH that you have to see a few times to fully grasp some the imagery

Another clever detail: her smile at the end is the same smile the sun in the mural has in the beginning

Since you did Hereditary and Midsommar, you should do Robert Eggers movies next! The Lighthouse and The Witch. Also A24 ‘horror’ movies! #bingers

I had such a rough day but you seriously make me feel happy. Thank you, Billy~♡ you could be anywhere and you are here with us

I’m swedish and this movie SCARRED me for life! IT’S SO DISTURBING!

#Bingers NOT a weird ass movie, but a lighthearted cult classic that I recommend = Clue

Billy started predicting the movie and I was just laughing because the way he pieced together how disturbing it can get was soooo funnyyyy. He said "A pube?...Aint no way" and then "THATS THE SAME THING THAT WAS IN THE PICTURE" I was so weakkkk

This movie is definitely a wild ride! The director (same as Hereditary) has said he doesnt consider this a "horror" film, but more of a modern fairytale, like old Hans Christian Anderson and Grimm's fairy tales. If you thought this was a weird, wild, but maybe kind of fun ride, I recommend Mother! #bingers

It’s pissing me off how much he hasn’t paid attention to literally anything omg Billy lmao

Watched this movie with my cousin while on vacation and we both were shocked by it. Something interesting about the part where they smashed the guy’s head in with the hammer, the dead prop was able to collapse in on itself then fix itself using pneumatic cylinders so they could get multiple takes out of it.

Btw, Billy, I know you haven't done a tv show yet, but the resident 1 black guy (William Jackson Harper) is Chidi in the Good place, which I think you'd love.

Billy being SHOOK this entire movie was such a vibe. The first time I watched it, I was also speechless.

16:41 the face you made "a pube? ain't no way.." HAHAHAJAJAHA i'm dead

My favorite thing this spoopy season is seeing reactors react to Heritage & Midsommar lol A lot of people took the ending to mean that she got her revenge over her shitty bf. Honestly, the whole thing is a horror story on how cults & manipulation take advantage of the vulnerable.

Anyone curious watch “everything you missed /Easter eggs in Midsommar” you’ll be shocked at how many things you missed. Same with hereditary. 🙂

I was a little disappointed with the movie only because my friends who watched it kept calling this movie a horror. It was more of a psychological thriller. It’s not bad, but I’ll probably never watch it again.

When Billy mimics their moans…I died 💀💀

"A tent from Target..." ahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why is nobody talkin bout these damn thumbnails? HE NEVER DISAPPOINTS

Aww my poor billy😂. He is so shooketh 🤣

This movie triggered my anxiety like no other it was just all over the place in a “acid trip” kind of way ✋😭

#bingers definitely recommend Host & Us for next horror movies😭 had me on my deathbedd

Just so everyone knows, most Midsummer events aren't all sacrificey and horrible like this. It's typically just a bunch of chill pagans celebrating nature. Some of the rituals are similar, but without all the horrible bits.

At the beginning, we see the firemen turn off the cars in the garage and we see two pipes going from the exhaust through the house, one into the parents' room, one into the sister's mouth. It was carbon monoxide poisoning for all three, silent, and I dare say the sister used some of her meds to render the parents unconscious too. Christian is not a good fit for her. He cannot handle high needs people, a lot of people can't, which she was before the deaths of her family and he should have broken it off long before that happened. After that, he was trapped because he was scared she would top herself so on that front, you have *some* sympathy for him. He wasn't a completely terrible person (like Mark), just not a good fit for her and he is an ass but not an assh*le. I feel bad for him being drugged and raped though, that's wrong in every way. If you want a really good movie, I really recommend The VVitch again, Honestly, the best "horror" movie I have watched in years. Just be ready for Puritan English accents and dialect from the 1600s if you do. #BillyBinges

Algorithm love. This movie I made the mistake of watching with my mother during a holiday visit. That was "fun". 🙃

“Is this…regular or not?” 🤣🤣🤣

“I hope I got a ad for this video!” Designer Shoe Warehouse here to save the day😂

Yooo! He finally learnt to eat first😂 Not sticking to the horror diet plan 'eh?? haha Just hope you don't loose your lunch😂😂

I didn't even wanna watch this movie again but I really wanted to see your reaction 😭 my mistake for not waiting till morning for this video

#bingers Get Out This one is really good

I'll let you know right now before I even start this video that I'm watching this solely for your commentary Billy. I saw this when it came to theatres and told myself I would never watch it again.

He missed so many of the points of this movie that I can't even enjoy this video XD Like that was painful. When he thought the other girls were moaning with Dani... they were screaming bud. Its because the cults language is empathy and that what Dani wasn't getting from Christian

This movie still screws with me. I can handle the blood and gut stuff. But cults and mind manipulation? Oh hell no.

23:57 LMFAO. Damn, Billy has HAD IT by this point. 'what the hell is this??' Yeah, this movie was weird as fuck and I understand, Billy. I understand. Lol

So excited to see your reaction to this, this movie messed me up. Always love your commentaries!

LMAO "THOSE WEAK ASS STROKES" IM DYINGGGG

No cuz when the old ladies were helping him thrust into the girl by pushing him that shit had me gone💀

Hahahaha “I be having your daughter singing the high notes” part made me lose it 😂🤣🤣🤣😛 you’re wayyyyy too funny Billy

Okay, so the thing about this movie is that some people see Dani as the 'bad' person or Christian as the 'bad' person - when neither of them are good or bad. Something that gets very obvious immediatly, is how the relationship between the two is practically already over, but neither of them acknowledge it, even before the tragedy. The way Dani copes with things is by clinging to the only person she has left - Christian. And Christian, who very clearly didn't still want to be with her, is too scared to cut the ties after the whole tragedy happens. The way hE reacts to Dani, is by avoiding. He's very clearly overwhelmed. Now, let's imagine, what would happen if he was really a good boyfriend, caring, loving, etc. It wouldn't help her situation a lot. Sure, it probably would have helped a bit, but the way she reacts and the traume she has experienced- that's not something a good boyfriend can help her with. What she needs, is actual therapy. He can't be her therapist, he's 'just' her boyfriend. Also - he might have been a bad boyfriend, but that doesn't mean, he was a bad person. When it comes to all these friends, we're only shown the bad moments of their personality, to make the difference between the cult and Danis' friends more noticable. But Christian probably wasn't a bad person - just someone who isn't confident enough to actually understand what he wants and act on it. (In my opinion, even if he was a bad person he would never deserve that, but some people might argue with that) Another thing that I see mentioned quite often, is Christian being druged and r*ped. He was, btw, there's definitely no use arguing that, but what some people seem to think, that he 'sort of' agreed, since he kept looking at her, and when he was asked if he would like to mate with the other girl - since his answer wasn't shown - people seem to think he said yes, and that apparently means, he wasn't assaulted. He was. He was drugged to the point of not being able to give consent anymore - consent is something, anyone should be able to revoke at any time and that clearly didn't happen. Also, I don't think they would have drugged him, if he had said yes, he wanted to mate with her - but that's just my own interpretation.

Billy, my love… All Dogs Go To Heaven (can be a halloween watch), Fried Green Tomatoes, Nightmare Before Christmas #Bingers

"if its disturbing,disgusting,weird..." pretty much all it is

I think movies that are straight forward are best for you. I know you're not a huge fan of movies with vague messages, but I appreciate you doing this movie. I love it!

I like these kinds of movies because they are challenging. There's nothing wrong with simple, audience friendly movies but that's not enough for me. For example, you mentioned you didn't understand what was going on in the beginning. There are two running vehicles in an enclosed garage, there are firefighters there, the engines were running, there are hoses attached and leading inside the house, there are dead bodies inside the house, and Dani's sister had sent a message that sounded suicidal. Unless you've never heard of people killing themselves with vehicle exhaust before, it's a simple puzzle to put together. But it makes for a more interesting way to deliver that information to the audience. The simpler but more boring way is to have a scene where someone calls Dani and tells her "Your sister killed your parents then killed herself by running their cars' exhaust into the house while they slept".
