Midsommar is far to divisive of a film to lead a year, so if that's really going to be the best then I would say 2019 isn't a good year. I'd suggest seeing it, but yeah, I personally think it's one of the worst movies I wasted money on since It Comes At Night (which wasn't a bad movie, but was terrible as a horror film because it was misadvertised). I'll just say Strangers Prey at Night because I hated that as a movie and as horror.

However, I personally really loved the Child's Play reboot and think it's the most brilliant horror since Hereditary so I don't view this as a wash at all personally speaking. It's been a decent year, but IT Chapter 2 is still on the way so if it's able to be as good as or better than Child's Play, I will consider this a great year because it would have two really top tier films in it.

The girl with the spiders was saved by the intervention in the film; she was committed to an asylum afterwards so her being released isn't exactly 'sugary'. It's sort of a bittersweet ending where you get a little bit of 'we beat this' and a little bit of 'but we still lost'.
