Watch Solstice For Free

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

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!)

"Solstice" (2008) was made by the creator of "The Blair Witch Project", Daniel Myrick, and is a more conventional horror flick. Like "Blair", "Solstice" takes the subtle route with the creep factor and the typical trappings of slasher or quasi-slasher flicks; so stay away if you need serious gore, sex and nudity with your horror.The film runs 90 minutes and the first hour plays out like myriad other monster/ghost movies -- a group of youths venture to some secluded area to party and tensions increase as the creep factor increases. What separates "Solstice" from, say, most of the Friday the 13th flicks, besides lack of gore, is the serious and realistic vibe of the proceedings. While this is welcomed by me, it also makes for a less entertaining viewing -- for the first hour, that is.The last half hour is where everything comes together and there's almost a Wow factor as you realize what's really going on and what happened, etc.While the cast are all no-names, except Amanda Seyfried (who wasn't that well-known at the time), they're effective enough. They could've done better with the women, but the main protagonist is decent, Elisabeth Harnois.The film was shot in Louisiana.GRADE: B

First of all, this movie was incorrectly translated to "Talking to the dead" in my language, which is a BIG let down, considering that there is no talking to any dead people in this movie. By the first seven minutes of movie, director already tries to scare the spectator, even thought there is nothing relevant in the plot to do that. As the movies goes, I couldn't say if it was gonna be a good movie or not; when people get together in the lake to talk to the dead, I thought the movie would go somewhere interesting. However, from that scene on, everything went downhill. I sincerely hoped Mr. Vorhees just came in and killed everyone for being so annoying! However, in a point I thought I was seeing the lazy "I Know What You Did Last Summer". Not to mention the clichéd false scares the characters (tried to) provoke us all the time. Moreover, the ending is simply incomplete and answers nothing; everything you wanted to know or understand during the movie ends up just like that. Bad movie anyways. Fours stars in respect to some actors involved in this mess.

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.
