Review of Solstice

Solstice (II) (2008)
6/10
Blair witch goes more traditional
8 August 2013
Megan (Elisabeth Harnois) is still grieving her twin sister Sofie's suicide. She goes to her family's Louisiana house with friends Christian (Shawn Ashmore), Zoe (Amanda Seyfried), Mark (Matt O'Leary) and Alicia (Hilarie Burton). She befriends local Nick. She feels a presence imagining it to be Sofie. With the Solstice coming, she hopes to reconnect with her but finds a darker secret.

Daniel Myrick who brought the world The Blair Witch Project is going with a more traditional horror movie. Without a gimmick, he gives few scares and little suspense. This one stars some pretty good actors. Although I like all the actors, the characters have little chemistry. This is more due to a very bland script. The ghost story has very few scary moments. The reveal lacks any tension or satisfaction. If not for the likable actors, I wouldn't care about anything in this movie. It is simply forgettable. Nothing annoying or offensive. Just bland.
