“For centuries man recognised the longest day of the year, the solstice, as a time of great power and dangerous forces. Today it is thought to be a time of renewal and celebration.  But there are places where the darker side of the solstice remains strong.”

SOLSTICE marks the return to feature filmmaking of Daniel Myrick, the man behind one of the most unique and successful horror films in modern times, The Blair Witch Project, telling a chilling tale of secrets and spirits.  For most high school graduates looking forward to college, the middle of summer is an exciting time, gaining their independence, partying with friends and looking forward to new things; it’s a time of celebration. For the well-off kids of New Orleans’ upscale Garden District, the middle of summer is a time to party like never before.  Only for Megan, this particular summer is a time of mourning and loss due to her identical twin sister Sophie’s unexplained suicide, six months earlier.  

Although haunted by her sister’s shocking death, Megan attempts to escape her troubles and joins her closest friends on their annual retreat; a trip to the backwoods of rural Louisiana for a weekend of fun at her families rustic boat house. This time Megan’s problems are just beginning as she starts to suspect that Sophie may be trying to communicate with her from beyond the grave, the summer solstice is no longer just a day on the calendar, but a time when the boundary between our world and the spirit realm will be at it’s thinnest, the haunting drama that results could shatter the fragile relationships between Megan and her friends, and change their young lives forever.
