213: Midsommar + The Cockleshell Heroes + DemonLover - Eclectica #213

Throat Singing Of Terror!

Folk horror comes to the multiplexes this week with Ari Aster's "Midsommar", set in a Swedish pagan commune. Aster's own preferred human sacrifice ritual involves dividing podcasters in half as the try to figure out how well his movies work, so what did Graham and Aidan think of this one?

Off the Shelf, meanwhile, sees Graham embarking on a top-secret mission to review Eureka's WWII comedy-drama "The Cockleshell Heroes", while Aidan logs on for Arrow's reissue of Olivier Assayas's early-00s online grot thriller "Demonlover". Does it still have the power to sink its tentacles into audiences?
