Ari Asteris a director who, with every one of his films, brings you into close proximity with a world and characters that you can’t help but be repulsed by. A family that is destroyed by grief and supernatural evils in Hereditary; a young woman whose boyfriend and life are so awful that a murderous cult is a cathartic escape with Midsommar; a 50-year-old mama’s boy who can’t take one step without the world beating him down until he’s a shell of a human being in Beau Is Afraid. But while these stories are brimming with horror and the worst of humankind, Aster’s extraordinary world-building means we never want to look away for a second, even when we watch an elder’s face be smashed in with a mallet.
