Reviews

Adrian Horler I'm not even sure where to begin with reviewing this film. I made an account on IMDb just so I could purposely warn others to stay far far away. Nothing about it was "okay". Everything was sub sub sub sub sub (sub) par. The acting was terrible. It seems the director thought it would be a good idea to mix people from different nationalities so the viewer wasn't really sure if it was terrible acting or if the accents were just throwing the viewer off. Spoiler: It was terrible acting. Maybe it suffered from a poor script, but the actors didn't ever portray any emotion. When someone from the group dies they continue a long like nothing has happened; no tears, no screaming. Just a lot of running.... In fact in the scene where Jussi dies Hannah is seen smirking as she is running away (what? why?). The cinematography was terrible. It never once showed anything interesting other than tress and people running. In the one scene where Hannah is in the barn, you see her looking through a peephole and seeing the "creature". She then gasps and runs away. What did she see? Spoiler: You'll never know because the director decided not to show it. And what is the creature you may ask? WHO KNOWS! Is it a person? It is a yeti? Is it possessed? Is it a serial killer? Why is he killing people? THINGS YOU WILL NEVER KNOW. The only clue to knowing anything about this film is the description given by the director "American and British friends studying in Finland decide to take up an offer to travel to the Arctic Circle and experience the mysterious, pagan celebration of Midsummer's Eve." This description alone tells than the whole film. I could go on and on about all the other terrible things that happened in this film; but I've already wasted more time on this film than I've wanted to. I hope Tii Ricks find another career path because direction is just not in the cards for her. Everything about this film is just SO BAD. The character decisions, the dialogue, the plot. NOTHING EVER HAPPENS. I've always thought people were dramatic when they would say "I want the last two hours of my life back", but I've finally come across a film that has made me feel that way. Also all of the good reviews for this film are fake. They are either family members, cast & crew members or friends. No one with any taste in film would give this anything greater than a 1 or 2. Hope whoever spent the 1.3 million to make this has a lot more money in the bank; they won't be getting any of that back. What a waste.Avoid at all costs. If you want to see a film about bad actors, irrational people and no plot line then this is the film for you. Even then you'll probably still be disappointed. The poop factor of this film cannot be expressed enough.
dspence100 All I can say about this movie, from the start to the finish, is that watching paint dry has more suspense, horror and better use of ones time,The story structure was, at best, simple and plainly predictable. The acting, I presume it was amateur actors, was pretty awful as well, staggered, poorly scripted and had no emotion of feeling of any kind. The so-called horror was 1 out of 10........lets just used some red paint to depict the horror. This film I would never watch again and I would advise anybody else to give this awful movie a miss. If a wooden spoon had to be given, this film would certainly earn such a prize. Don't bother wasting your time with this awful production.
johannasmith89 The idea of making horror movie in broad daylight is great! And when you add that all this is happening in Finland (where I'd love to visit) the movie really makes difference. I've heard a lot nice things about Lapland and the white nights during summer time.The places in the film are really authentic and scary. The production design is just amazing. And it was nice to see new and talented actors. I liked that the main character is female. Holly Georgia does great as Hannah.I recommend this film for all horror fans. And also those who are interested in Finland!
zznoble80 For me the point of horror films has always been the fear of unknown or something which you cannot control. Several other films has done it for me, and Rage: Midsummer's Eve is also one of those films. Whereas Michael Myers is explained to viewers as using "talk to me like I am four years old" method there are films which you never really know why you have to be afraid or who is threading you. And that is awesome! Tii Ricks has created a roller coaster kind of horror experience which starts from a little push - the easy and joyful, excited feeling in the beginning of the ride - and once you get to the peak point of it, you just realise that all you can do is to hold on and go with the flow. The Director of Photography for Rage is Lawrence Dolkart whom has previously shot music videos for example for Marilyn Manson and Stone Temple Pilots. This really shows in a film.
