Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

GL84 Hoping to overcome her twins' death, a woman joining her friends on a weekend camping trip starts to believe her ghost is haunting her and her friends to unravel the mysterious events surrounding her death.This is a decent and enjoyable supernatural effort. One of the better parts to this is the set-up here for the ghostly connection, which manages to make it believable that these experiences are happening for once. Rather than simply rely on the traditional manner of loud shock- jumps or boo-scares to sell the point to her, instead here relying more on intuition generated from creepy encounters that build to a fine whole with the two encounters shown here in the scene with her alone in the house or going into the bathroom with the sludge from the faucets and the distractions coming from outside as well as the different encounters shown with her continually-shifting bloody finger-tips which makes for an unnerving tactic by making it pop up from pretty mysterious origins when it's least expected. That is based alongside the running storyline of the reappearing charm as well as incidental scenes with the clogged bathtub or the car's headlights going off-and-on for additional creepy moments that all build the ghostly presence quite well. From there, the final half to this is where all these pay-off nicely as the series of chases through the marsh, the digging in the torrential rainfall and the full revelation of the mystery surrounding it are all brought into clear play which makes for a few chilling moments and some rather enjoyable moments that come into play here. These are enough to help this one overcome the few flaws here, mostly the fact that this one keeps all these ghost encounters to such brief moments which leave this feeling more like a supernatural-themed drama of her pouting about the loss. There's never a sense of really exploiting the ghostly visions since there's so few chances to do this with them bring so brief against the drawn-out drama scenes that it really tends to crawl along quite lethargically for the most part until the finale so these scenes are disrupting that kind of pace for the most part. The other factor with this one that really sticks out here is the rather bland manner as not only is this once against the clichéd notion of being broken up to hide the storyline twist since the mystery of the ghost activities are the central point here but also that there's never a really interest way to get this one sorted out to become all the more watchable. These here hold this one down somewhat.Rated PG-13: Violence, Language and teenage drinking.

Andrea Agosti I generally give a go to horror movies which scores 5 or higher on IMDb and this was one of those movies. However I am very much disappointed and surprised of the high rating. I will keep it short, since there is very little to tell. This is not an horror movie, it is a mystery talking about a group of teenagers spending a few days in a house in the wood. There is really nothing impressive, storyline is boring and predictable, there is no gore or scaring scenes, just the acting is pretty decent. Believe me, do not waste your time, you are about to watch another boring and predictable mystery movies with a very poor and predictable story.3/10

chapsmack All ye fans of the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, rejoice! They made another movie for you. Yay! You fans can add this to your quota of 8+ ratings. Solstice is pretty much passable fare, and no wonder it hit the video circuit directly. Has all the elements but the story line has been cracked open so many times that you wonder why they are repeating it again. Teens in the woods and all that yarn. But then teens can be guiled easily, right? But then I was tricked too...tricked into watching it that is. The title Solstice is sooooo misleading, it makes you want to pick up the video up..so kudos to the maketing team, my hat's off to you guys....unfortunately for you guys, it isn't a McGonagall hat. 5/10.

sddavis63 We have here another thriller in which a bunch of young people head out into the middle of nowhere and find themselves stuck in a "scary" situation. What I will say in favour of this movie is that at least it avoided the cliché of having some type of cannibalistic mass murderer out to get them (a cliché that was actually mentioned by one of the characters when they met up with the creepy old guy from the other side of the lake.) In this case, we have young Megan, still tormented by the suicide of her twin sister six months before, heading off with a bunch of her friends on their annual trip to celebrate the summer solstice in the Bayou of Louisiana. Why they do this wasn't entirely clear to me, except that Megan's mom is some sort of anthropologist or something who specializes in culture and so apparently they celebrate every holiday known to humanity (which is a pretty nice gig if you can get it!) Once they're in the Bayou, Megan starts to have visions which she thinks are of her sister, and she discovers in a magazine (quite conveniently) that the summer solstice is the perfect time to contact the dead. She also conveniently runs into a local hunk of a grocery store clerk who happens to know how to contact the dead because his grandmother was involved in voodoo. I'm not kidding.Now, as truly silly as that all seems, I have to say that, while it's full of mostly forgettable (although not bad) performances, this movie isn't terrible. There's a pretty decent buildup of the intrigue and suspense until the final secret which finally connects both Megan's visions and the creepy old guy is revealed, but you do have to get through a lot of pretty cliché type situations to get there. As a timewaster this isn't bad, but if you want a really good thriller, this is not going to satisfy at all. 5/10
