In honor of the summer solstice on June 20, film production company A24 is releasing its 2019 horror film "Midsommar" to select IMAX theaters.

The version of the film that will be shown is Ari Aster's director's cut, which adds approximately 23 minutes of footage for a run time of two hours and 51 minutes.

In metro Phoenix, you can find the film at six movie theaters. All screenings begin at 7 p.m. and cost about $17 to $18 depending on the theater.

Though the "Midsommar" screening is billed as a one-night-only event, there will be a second showing at Harkins Arizona Mills 25 & IMAX at 7 p.m. on Monday as well.

"Midsommar" stars Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor and Vilhelm Blomgren. The film follows a group of college students who travel to Sweden for a friend's village's summer celebration, only to find terror when they get there.
