'Hereditary' director's next movie trailer is here to haunt you for months

If Ari Aster's Hereditary fucked you up but left you wanting more, get ready. The first trailer for Aster's latest, Midsommar, offers as little insight and as much tense anticipation as we've come to expect from his work.

Midsommar focuses on a cult-y summer festival that only takes place every nine years. Despite the sunny visuals, the trailer still manages to be creepy as hell, including flashes of cave-like paintings, ominous ceremonies, and an ending full of the moans and groans of souls clearly in pain.

The film stars Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, William Jackson Harper, Vilhelm Blomgran, Archie Madekwe, Ellora Torchia, and Will Poulter.

Midsommar hits theaters August 9.
