AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

gdeangel The film starts out with a one sided view of a visit to the psychiatrist's office. This is just one of the subtle, yet tightly integrated elements of the plot and the highly focused character study of Guilian that will keep you thinking for the first 50 minutes of the film. We know it's going to be a stalker in the woods film from the start. Consider the genre for a moment. Over the top gore. Hockey Masks and decapitations. Chainsaws and villains wearing other people's skin. These are plot devices right out of the same fantasy world as light sabers and gremlins. Even the rabid man-eating animal, usually a bear, fallen out of favor recently with the exception of Wolf, is pretty contrived. But here is a film that simply presents you with off-balanced characters, and others that we can detect have something creepy lurking below their surface, without contriving anything too obvious to make it seem in forced and cliche.Annie Clark's performance is top rate. She makes believable the kind of hide-in-your-sleeping bag naiveté of someone afraid of animal sounds in the night with the savvy of a teenage girls who knows better than to tell someone she is all alone in the woods for two days. Her character arc follows the path of Ripley and Sarah Conner, yet it doesn't seem forced. We hope her future projects track more in the direction of Ms. Weaver than Ms. Hamilton. This is not "The Glass House", where the highlight of the characters performance is her bikini scene. We love the genuine beauty of the woods and the green eyed gaze of Ms. Clark as she looks for a way forward from a personal tragedy of her past.In the last 20 minutes of the film, there are a few tropes to be reckoned with. The engine that won't start. The rescuer knocked out from behind. But even so, this is no "Blair Witch Project" where chicanery with the camera work demand attention that is drawn away from the lack of plot, nor is it a big budget affair with or over the top set pieces designed to distract from deficient writing. The film is great at getting and holding scenes of tension. That is what a suspense film should do first, and it that regard I highly recommend Solo. Watch it alone, a few days before your (or your child's) next camping trip (I don't mean trip to an RV campsite, I mean real camping in the public game preserve or even your large suburban back yard) and I guarantee you'll have trouble going to sleep.

rah122 This movie is exactly what you expect- a young girl alone on an island and creepy things happen as she has to survive for a few days to prove that she has what it takes to be a camp counselor. But, saying that, it is not a bad effort. I have seen hundreds of thriller/horror movies in my time and this is not as bad as others would tell you. Yes, some of it has been recycled and yes, there isn't much new or original here but there was something about the lead character, Gillian that I liked and I was appalled at some people commenting on her body size. What does that have to do with anything? It is a decent effort. It won't scare the life out of you, but there are some good twists and turns that you might be able to see coming. I am not going to give anything away, but I would give it a chance.It is worth a look.http://jigsawslair.blogspot.ie/

Sankari_Suomi We've all seen it before: the summer camp; the pretty girl; the creepy island; the even creepier locals. So we all know what to expect. At least, we think we do...This clever little movie has a retro 1980s feel which sets up our expectations for a typical teen slasher flick. But 'Solo' rewards patient viewers with a more intelligent story.Instead of the traditional 'smart people doing dumb things and consequently dying' formula we get a smart heroine who does smart things and still gets caught by the bad guy through no fault of her own.The delicious Canadian actress Annie Clark stars in a role better suited to Georgie Ryder, yet succeeds in making it her own.It must be admitted that the appeal of this film is primarily found in the lingering shots of Annie's youthful figure--and believe me when I say there are plenty of them.Annie has that classic 'girl next door' look, and enjoys plenty of screen time from all the right angles.Here a slow tracking shot across her pert bottom; there a closeup of her youthful bosoms rising and falling hypnotically as she gasps for breath in a thrilling action scene. It's a glorious sight for anyone bored to tears by the endless parade of flat chested anorexic girls who tend to dominate this genre.Being a Canadian production the budget was modest (as evidenced in a number of scenes and the poor colour balance). Yet it suits the retro look of the film, so the wobbly camera-work and cut price sets (including several plastic trees and a foam rubber rock) never seem out of place.Trivia: the island itself was built by a local company and towed to the middle of Carl Jensen's private lake. It's actually two thirds smaller than it's supposed to be in the story, but the clever use of camera angles and long shots prevents viewers from realising this fact.I rate 'Solo' at 19.98 on the Haglee Scale, which converts to a solid 6/10 on IMDb.
