The Arctic Circle based Rage: Midsummer's Eve looks like any other, high production value horror film made in a America. But this isn't shot in the US and it isn't a traditional American horror film. Set in the Finnish Arctic Circle the film starts up with the traditional set up five people leaving on the holiday. This time it isn't a bunch of high school students traveling to a lake house to meet their destiny, but a bunch of adults and highly educated people whom decide to take a trip to the Finnish countryside to celebrate Midsummer's Eve: An old festival to celebrate the longest day of the year, Summer Solstice. They even make a nice joke regarding the traditional set up of a summer cottage right by the lake.
The director, cinematographer and basically the whole camera crew are American and British so the film looks like any American horror would look like.
The actors, whom are all doing their biggest roles so far on this one, do a nice job. There is no "scream your lungs out" kind of reactions, or people crying hysterically to make things look more scary. The directing and the acting makes sure that people will keep their eyes on the screen, and the scares and the tension will keep you alarmed through out the film.
