Horror director Ari Aster has confirmed that he is currently working on a "nightmare comedy" that will clock in at four hours. In a recent interview with UC Santa Barbara's Associated Students Program Board, Aster shared a few teasers about his upcoming projects, as he revealed that he is working on a "nightmare comedy," having just finished a new draft, and said, "All I know is that it's gonna be four hours long, over 17 [years of age]." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/06/07/hereditary-review"] While it's not entirely clear from the interview transcription whether Aster was being deadly serious about the length of his next film, his recent filmography indicates that he has somewhat of an affinity for longer films. Aster made his feature film directorial debut in 2018 with the blood-curdling, horror-drama Hereditary, which made audiences' toes curl throughout its runtime of 2 hours, 7 minutes. He then followed up his critical hit with the lyrical and surreal folk horror tale Midsommar, which slow-burned in movie theatres for 2 hours, 28 minutes in 2019. Midsommar's extended cut was released later, with a runtime of 2 hours, 51 minutes. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-most-controversial-horror-movies&captions=true"] Aster referred to Midsommar as an "apocalyptic breakup movie" before its release, so some of his terminology might be open to interpretation. In our review of Midsommar, we described the film was "an emotionally harrowing and slowly insidious journey, languidly forcing dread on the viewer, wrapping them in a weird nightmare summer camp of sunlight and cheer." Midsommar also earned a spot on IGN's Best Reviewed Movies of 2019 following directly on from Hereditary, which was one of IGN's Best Reviewed Movies of 2018.
