User Reviews

Weird but Watchable

"Solace" is a weird but watchable supernatural thriller. The good director and cast and the original storyline are the best this film can offer. Unfortunately the gloomy screenplay is messy and destroys the expectations of this forgettable movie. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Presságios de um Crime" ("Omens of a Crime")
