About Solstice

During a carefree summer escape with friends, Megan starts noticing signs that make her question what is real. The memory of her twin sister Sophie, who took her own life not long before, lingers in the air and in the unspoken dynamics of the group. At first the sensations feel intimate, a private whisper that only she can hear, then they spill into the world around her in unsettling ways. As the seaside setting draws closer, the line between grief and something outside ordinary experience blurs. The pressure tests her bonds with the people around her, while fear and a growing sense of mystery about Sophie pull Megan toward a doorway between memory and reality while shadows gather around quietly.

Solstice is directed by Daniel Myrick, Martin Musatov and Ethan Erwin. The film blends drama with horror and mystery on a sun drenched summer backdrop, and it appears to originate from an original screenplay rather than a pre existing novel.

Box office data for Solstice is not widely publicized and the film did not become a major commercial hit, with limited release and modest audience turnout. Only a handful of territories reported figures and those numbers did not enter charts.

No major awards are listed for Solstice in mainstream award databases. The project seems to have flown under the radar compared with bigger horror releases, which means it did not rack up high profile nominations or wins. Public databases show no major nominations and the project did not gain recognition.

Reception appears to be mixed, with some reviewers noting the strong performances from Elisabeth Harnois and Amanda Seyfried and the film's moody atmosphere. Thematically it explores grief and memory and how the loss of a sister can distort perception and strain friendships. Its tone invites viewers to question what remains.
