Midsommar (2019)
A couple travels to Sweden to visit a rural hometown's fabled mid-summer festival. What begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult.
While made in top quality with an involving performance by Florence Pugh and some unsettling scenes, the plot is quite muddled and offers a disappointing ending.

House on Haunted Hill (1959)
A millionaire offers $10,000 to five people who agree to be locked in a large, spooky, rented house overnight with him and his wife.
Classic William Castle hokum with all the tricks and treats doesn't really want to be taken seriously; fun for what it is.
Halliwell (no star): "Gimmick ghost story with some (unexplained) gruesome moments; the most outlandish of its producer's trick films..."
Maltin***: "Campy fun."
