Character mistake: There are some musicians at different times in the movie. One of them is playing a moraharpa (traditional Swedish instrument, a predecessor of the nyckelharpa), but holding and playing it incorrectly. (00:38:37 - 01:39:45)
Midsommar (2019)
1 character mistake
Directed by: Ari Aster
Starring: Florence Pugh, Will Poulter, Jack Reynor, William Jackson Harper
Continuity mistake: When the male elder fails to die after jumping off the cliff, a few of the Hårgas walk over to him to smash his head with a mallet. When the first Hårga hits him on the head, there is a visible bloody injury caused by the hit. When the second Hårga goes to hit him, just before his head breaks apart there is no sign of the first hit. (01:12:30)
Simon: So we just going to ignore the bear then?
Trivia: During the feast in which Christian finds a pubic hair inside of his food, look closely at the drinks on the table. While the camera never calls direct attention to this, if you look closely, Christian's drink is very slightly darker than everyone else's. Earlier in the film, the camera briefly passes over a mural that depicts a woman collecting menstrual blood in a cup. (Along with the image of a woman cutting off pubic hairs, like the one Christian found in his food.) It seems Christian's drink has been laced with something he didn't expect.

Answer: Yes, that is the impression that is given. He is still alive.

How would they be able to keep him from bleeding to death? We see earlier in the film when they kill Josh that someone was wearing Mark's skin. That means they completely flayed him and then crudely reattached his skin in order to hang him from the ceiling later on.

Never mind, I see that I was confusing Simon with Mark. It looked like Mark hanging to me when Christian found Simon.
