We have the ättestupa in Sweden - the idea that we pushed the elderly off a cliff when they got old.

There’s a funny scene about this in Norsemen
There’s a less funny scene about this in Midsommar
Stop! Hammer time!
Ah I’ve seen this in Midsommar, thought it was completely made up. Still a shit movie
Not a fan of horror movies then?
Not especially. If we’re talking horror as in scary, then yea, but it has to be more than gratuitous jumpscares. If we’re talking psychological, graphic horror, which I feel is what Midsommar was trying to be, then not too much. I felt it really lacked a purpose and existed only to serve shocking visuals. I found the director’s previous film (The Witch, I think?) to be way more compelling.
It’s perfectly possible to be a fan of a genre, but not of a particular film in that genre. Stop trying to make it weird.
It was an odd addition to their comment, obviously meant to incite a reaction. I bit
“Nah, I don’t think I’m going to do it.”
