Storyline

Attempting to move past a family tragedy the summer previous, 17-year-old Gillian takes a job as a counselor at a remote summer camp. As part of her initiation, she must spend two nights by herself on the camp's island, an intimidating collision of rock and wilderness carved out of the lake, supposedly haunted by the ghost of a camper who disappeared suspiciously decades before. When Gillian's 'solo' is interrupted by a local man responding to a distress call, what was meant to be a peaceful time alone in nature devolves into something disturbingly different. As her paranoia mounts, a horrifying secret is uprooted and Gillian finds herself in desperate fight to survive.

User Reviews

Had the potential to be much better...

The name of this movie is SOLO. I expected, as the title so boldly suggests, to watch a film that focused on its lone female star being put in some sort of isolation scenario, at least for a good portion of the movie. She goes to work at a camp where one of her friends helps get her the gig. But before she can ultimately get the gig, she has to spend 2 nights alone at the camp's locally owned small island that seems to be only a mile from the main camp. So here comes the isolation, right? Not really. I won't give too much away, but let's just say that the supposed isolation seemed to be nothing more than an after thought.

SOLO does have high production value. The filming, acting and location are all really good. However, the story is a bit weak. While I don't feel that it is as cliché as other reviews would lead you to believe, it does feel like you've seen it before in a few other movies. Had the killer been scary, instead of pretty lame, then maybe this could have been worthy of a higher rating. Not terrible. Not great. Somewhere in the middle is my opinion. Worth at least one viewing if you have some time to kill and nothing else peaks your attention.
