Midsommer (2003) (Eng: Midsummer) is a Danish-Swedish psychological horror film in the Danish language, written by Rasmus Heisterberg and directed by Carsten Myllerup.[1][2]. The story revolves around a group of Danish students who celebrate their graduation in a Swedish forest, when they encounter a supernatural presence seemingly connected to a friend who recently committed suicide. Six months after the movie's release in 2003, the film rights were purchased by Bill Block for an American remake.[3] The American version was reset to Hawaii and released in 2008 with the title Solstice.
