Why so much hype?

Thanks for the memories!

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Megan's twin sister has recently committed suicide, and it was a shock to everyone. She was popular, had a terrific boyfriend, and was on top of the world, no one knew just what happened. To celebrate her memory, her sister and a group of their friends go to their summer house for the weekend, and that's when Megan starts seeing things. Her friends think she's nuts, but Megan feels that her sister is trying to tell her something, so Megan goes on a quest to find answers. Why is it always the low budget films you hear nothing about, that turn out to be the most interesting? I honestly thought this was going to be another weird supernatural slasher film, but it wasn't at all. Solstice gives you so many angles and so many things to focus on, including intense flashbacks, a terrific mystery, a creepy neighbor, a missing child, a love story, and of course attractive people skinny dipping. The focus of the film seems quite evident early on, but it really isn't, as Solstice twists and turns in so many directions, that by the time it's over, you'll be left with your mouth open. The cast comprised of normally ancillary characters was terrific, especially Elisabeth Harnois. Her face may be familiar to film-goers, but not because of any leading roles, she has bided her time, taking small roles, learning as much as she could to use in performance like this one. Solstice was her chance to finally take the reigns and she did it with grace and intensity. The rest of the cast, featuring some well-known teen idols, also doesn't disappoint as Matthew O'Leary was hilarious, Shawn Ashmore was the level headed one, and Tyler Hoechlin was wonderfully weird. As I said early, Solstice is a thriller that has it all, from the supernatural to an earthly mystery, it is one terrific film, that doesn't stay in one place for very long. The rural setting and the way the story is told, with well timed flashbacks, just make everything that more intense. It may be a low budget, independent film, but it's better than anything you'll see on the big screen right now and I can't recommend it enough.

This film had a recognizable cast, many familiar faces.It took a while to start off, I found myself getting bored towards the middle.I wouldn't call it scary but it did have a few predictable jump out your seat moments.And what all thriller/chiller movie needs - a scary little ghost girl!The setting made the film, perfect location for a scary film.You have to wait until the end to understand the whole film, and when the plot finally emerges, it isn't as lousy as I had thought all the way through. It was actually pretty clever.But I still have unanswered questions.. unless twins do have some sort of unique telepathic powers! Or the legend of Solstice is true (I just find it hard to follow films that defy logic!)

Megan's sister dies, she commits suicide and no one know why she made this gesture. Trying to forget this tragedy her along with three friends go to a house in the forest to a city with very few inhabitants. But here she starts to have some visions and thinks that her sister is trying to transmit something. How everyone else believes that she is crazy it's now up to her to find the message using the signs which she receives. At the same time she has memories of the past where she was at a party with her friends and also using these visions will have to put them together to find the truth. But what will find will lead her to something else than she could have imagined and that the ex-boyfriend of her sister and who is now her actually BF committed a crime while they were driving and in a moment inadvertently killed an innocent little girl that was on a bike.Solstice is meant to be a horror film but unfortunately sequences that had to scare us are too few and a fan of this genre, this film would not move even a hair from their head. The story is good, I personally liked the beginning but in the process gets frustrating, boring and slow advancing to the outcome.

I first watched this movie when i bought it a couple of months back and i was excited to see that is rated PG-13, which told me that its not going to be a gore flick with a lot of horror violence, but a creepy teenage thriller. It is spooky and harrowing. Im a huge horror buff, but I occasionally like some non violent and supernatural flicks. Solstice featured a spooky story line and a great teenage cast, including Elisabeth Harnois(90210 and One Tree Hill), Shawn Ashmore(The Ruins), Hilarie Burton(One Tree Hill and The Secret Life of Bees), Amanda Seyfried(Alpha Dog, Mean Girls and the Upcoming 2009 Teenage Horror Flick Jennifer's Body), Matt O'Leary(Death Sentence and 2009's Sorority Row) and Tyler Hoechlin(Grizzly Rage and 7th Heaven). This flick has all of the horror elements, like a group of friends celebrating at a house in the wilderness and then being terrorized by a masked killer, only this one has a supernatural twist to it. A group of close friends decide to spend the weekend at a friends family's home deep in the wilderness to celebrate their graduation, only to be caught up in a series of supernatural occurrences and an ancient voodoo ceremony, that places the friends in mortal danger. They must discover the dark secret that binds them together and the recent death of their friend. This movie terrified me and I definitely recommend it!!
