💎💎SOLSTICE💎💎 –
Solstice is a 2008 American horror film directed by Daniel Myrick, written by
Myrick, Martin Musatov and Ethan Erwin and starring Elisabeth Harnois, Shawn Ashmore,
Hilarie Burton, Amanda Seyfried, Tyler Hoechlin, Matt O’Leary an R. Lee Ermey.
It is a remake of the 2003 film Midsommer. While on a summer trip with her friends,
Megan begins to feel the presence of Sophie, her twin sister who recently committed
suicide. Six months after the suicide of her twin sister, Sophie, Megan still grieves
her death and misses her beloved sister. In the Saint John’s’ Eve, Megan
travels with her friends Christian, Zoe, Mark and Alicia to her family’s house
in Nowell Lake, Louisiana, to celebrate the summer solstice. While shopping for
supplies in a local store, Megan befriends the seller Nick and buys a magazine
with an article about communication with the dead in the summer solstice, the
time of year when there is the greatest length of daylight. While in her house,
Megan is haunted by a spirit that she believes is Sophie trying to communicate
with her. In her investigation, she suspects the weird hick Leonard and while
snooping in his house, she finds the picture of the missing girl Malin and
unravels a dark secret about the suicide of her sister. The Blair Witch Project
writer/director Daniel Myrick draws influence from the 2003 Scandinavian thriller
Midsummer to tell this haunting story about a group of high school friends
coming together for one last blast before heading off to college and the
strange events that begin to unfold when one member of the group suspects that
her twin sister, who had recently committed suicide, is trying to contact her
from beyond the grave. Less than a year after her twin sister’s suicide, Megan
and her friends take one last road trip. When a handsome local teaches them the
Creole spell of the summer solstice, the group tries to resurrect the sister’s
spirit – with deadly results.
Megan has been distraught since her twin sister Sophie committed
suicide a few months ago. When it comes time for the annual summer solstice trip
to a lake house in the bayous of Louisiana with her friends, Megan reluctantly decides
to go. Once the five friends arrive, Megan soon begins to suspect that her dead
sister is trying to communicate with her as the solstice – the time when our
world and the next are closest – approaches. She sees numerous shadow-like figures,
mud runs from all the taps and Megan is “followed” by Sophie’s key chain that
she keeps getting rid of. Whenever the shadow figure appears or Megan has a
nightmare, the key chain appears. Megan goes running, but she trips over a hole
in the ground and cracks her nail (which she had foreseen in several nightmares).
As she limps back to the road, she meets Leonard again. Inside his van, she
sees a hat identical to Sophie’s. Back at the lake house, Nick comes for dinner
on the night before the solstice. Megan tells him about the chain and what she
believes is Sophie’s ghost. All six of the friends go into the lake in their underwear
and Nick calls forth the spirit with wine, which then drags Megan under the water.
As her friends try to get her out, she sees more visions. They all get out of the
lake afterwards.
Megan, on advice from Nick, goes outside, wraps a white cloth
around the key chain and buries it, which should expel the spirit. She goes for
a bath, but mud runs from the tap and the spirit appears. After it disappears
again, the key chain is lying on the floor. Later, Megan walks down to Leonard’s
house and finds farming equipment and several large knives. Inside the house,
she looks around and finds a young girl’s bedroom. On the cabinet, Megan notices
a cutting from a newspaper regarding Malin, a young girl who disappeared the
year before. Leonard arrives home and Megan has to jump out of the girl’s
window to escape. Megan realizes that the ghost is not that of Sophie, but
Malin and she takes Nick to the ruins she encountered earlier, when she fell
over. The other friends all follow, including Christian with a gun. Nick and
Megan get split up and Christian almost shoots Nick. Megan then digs up Malin’s
body and finds that the key on the key chain is for Malin’s bicycle, which was
buried with her. They then call the police. Christian then admits that the year
before, when they all came to the lake house, including Sophie, her and Sophie
were going for a drive and hit Malin. Not wanting to be arrested, they buried
her in the forest. Sophie then committed suicide as she could not be bare the
guilt. Malin’s ghost appears and Christian runs away towards the road. Megan
chases him through the forest, but before she can reach him, he gets to the
road and is hit by the police car that had been called out. The ending shows Megan
at Malin’s grave. When Leonard arrives home, he finds Malin’s key chain on the porch,
put there by Megan. Megan and Nick decide to go to the city together.
💎💎MIDSOMMER💎💎 –Everybody
has a past… Some nave a future. It’s study time for the final exams. Everything
is going fine for Christian until his sister commits suicide. After exams and
graduation Sofie’s unexplained suicide takes its toll. Christian is convinced
that Sofie was trying to communicate something to him before she took her life.
Nevertheless, Christian and his friends decide one last time to celebrate
midsummer in Sweden. But nothing is the same without Sofie. Sweden, however,
turns out to be a pleasant experience for Christian who discovers that he is in
love with the beautiful Trine. Sofie’s suicide, however, is not go unexplained.
The truth is lurking in the somber shadows of the forest… and for those who get
to drive back, life will never be the same. Midsommer (English: Midsummer) is a
2003 psychological horror film directed by Carsen Myllerup and written by
Rasmus Heisterberg. The story revolves around a group of Danish students who
celebrate their graduation in a Swedish forest, when they encounter a
supernatural presence seemingly connected to a friend who recently committed
suicide. Six months after the film’s release in 2003, the films rights were
purchased by Bill Block for an American remake. The American version was reset
to a Louisiana bayou and released in 2008 with the title Solstice.
Christian’s sister commits suicide. Why? After his 4 friends
graduate secondary school, they head off to a Swedish cabin for midsummer as
previous years. Strange things happen. Is it his sister’s spirit? It’s the last
day of school. Christian (19) and his younger sister Sofie are on their way to
a party together with their friends. They’ve got to finish studying for their finals,
take the tests themselves and then school’s out for good. The party has come
just at the right time and is just what Christian needs; right up until the
point his sister commits suicide in the upstairs bathroom. Exams and graduation
completed, Sofie’s unexplained suicide is still affecting everyone concerned, especially
Christian, who is convinced that Sofie was trying to tell him something before
she killed herself at the party. But life has to go on and before they all have
split up and go their own ways Christian and his friends decide to go on their traditional
to Sweden to celebrate midsummer for one last time. Although the group’s usual
rituals in connection with the midsummer trip aren’t the same without Sofie,
everyone does their best to enjoy themselves. And when Christian’s long held,
yet unrequited feelings for the beautiful Trine finally appear to be reciprocated,
it looks like the trip is going to turn out just fine anyways. But then Christian
discovers that someone – or something – has decided that Sofie’s suicide should
not go unexplained – and one night he wakes up with the feeling that Sofie is
in the room with him. Has Sofie really come back? Or are Christian’s feelings
of guilt and sorrow over Sofie’s apparently meaningless death making him imagine
things? The dreadful truth is lurking in the dark shadows cast by the fir trees
in the Swedish forest. The trip turns out to be like nothing they’ve experienced
in the past – and the lives of those who get to drive back home after midsummer
is over will never be the same again.
💎💎MEMORIAL
DAY💎💎- Rachel
hasn’t slept for a while. A few years back, her brother was mysteriously killed
while she and a group of friends partied by the lake. Three years later, she
and her friends must return to the same lake to finally put the nightmares to
rest. To come to grips with what happened. To admit that it was just an accident.
But someone is waiting for them. Someone who knows the truth. Someone who wants
revenge. As night descends on their Memorial Day getaway, each individual must face
an unstoppable killing machine with a serious hatchet to bury. As the body
count rises, Rachel must discover whose face lies behind the mask. Is it just a
stranger in the woods? Or is it someone she already knows? This Memorial Day,
the screaming doesn’t stop until the last body drops.
Memorial Day (also known as Memorial Day Killer) is a 1999
slasher film directed by Christopher Alender and written by Marcos Gabriel. The
night before Memorial Day, Tyra and Trevor are stabbed to death in their
apartment by a cloaked figure in a black and white papier-mache mask. The next day,
Rachel, her cousin Leo and their five friends (Mickey, Cindy, Seth, Reagan and
Jeremy) head to Memorial Lake Campground for the first time since Rachel’s
adopted brother Danny accidentally drowned there three years ago. After reaching
the camp and setting up, the group drinks around a campfire and tells ghost
stories, though Seth goes back to the cabins to watch television and catches a
news broadcast mentioning the murders of Tyra and Trevor, who were supposed to
come along on the trip. Seth rushes back to the others and tells them about
what happened to Trevor and Tyra, just as a booby trap launches a spear into Jeremy,
killing him and scattering the group. Seth tries to drive to safety but runs
out of gas and is confronted by the killer, who sends a man he had earlier captured
out to tell Seth to get out of his car. Seth refuses to get out, so the killer
persuades him by shooting the hostage. Back at the camp, Mickey bludgeons a
masked man with a baseball bat, unmasking him afterward to discover it was Seth,
who was gagged and had his hands tied together, The killer then attacks Reagan,
killing her by forcing her to crawl across razor blades while he beats her with
a hot piece of rebar. Next, Cindy is shot and Mickey is tortured to death with
fish hooks, nails and a knife.
Rachel and Leo regroup and a hysterical Rachel blames herself
for everything that has happened, confessing that she was the one who brought
Danny out on the boat the night he drowned. This causes Leo to reveal that he
is the killer and that Danny (who was his biological brother) has bene “speaking”
to him, ordering him to avenge his death by murdering everyone involved in it.
Leo tries to kill Rachel, but she shoots him with his own gun, revealing before
she does so that she purposely drowned Danny, who she hated. In a post-credit
scene, Rachel is shown walking away from the camp as Leo gets up and puts his
mask on after it is pushed across the floor by an invisible force. A distorted
voice is then heard, wailing “We’re coming for you!”
