The initial screenplay for Midsommar was even more gruesome than the final film. For example, Christian originally found the bodies of both Josh and Simon in the chicken coop, not just Simon. Josh would’ve been chained to a fence with his liver hanging out of his body, covered in chickenfeed, being pecked at by the chickens. There would’ve been a j...
When he was writing Midsommar, Ari Aster had just come off of a bad breakup, so the emotions were still raw. He based a lot of the problems in Dani and Christian’s relationship on those he perceived in his own relationship. Interestingly, he identifies more with Dani. That might be why she’s not the one who gets burned alive at the end of the movie...
Ari Aster’s initial cut of Midsommarran for around three hours and received an NC-17 rating from the MPAA. Since this wouldn’t be very marketable (and neither would a three-hour movie), the studio required Aster to make some cuts to get the rating down to an R.

This is used to visually foreshadow her final decision to join the commune. This can be seen in the fact that it becomes more prominent after she is given her flowery crown ...
Mark’s extreme phobia of ticks displayed in Midsommaris based on writer-director Ari Aster’s own phobia of ticks — and, more broadly speaking, his fear of illnesses and bugs that carry them. On the set, Aster wore two pairs of socks over his jeans in order to prevent bugs from crawling up his legs, just like Mark does in the movie.
Despite being set in Sweden, Midsommarwas mostly shot in Hungary. This could’ve had something to do with the Swedish film office objecting to the movie’s dangerously inaccurate depiction of their cultural customs.

Originally, Midsommarwas conceived as a straight slasher film set in a Swedish commune. This initially put off Ari Aster from making the movie as the premise wasn’t complex enough for him to sink his teeth into. However, he gained some passion for the project when he came up with the idea to fuse the proposed slasher structure with the story of a t...
After the sex ritual, Christian was originally supposed to put his robe back on before running out and finding his friends’ corpses.
