Cruel Summer

One of the funniest movies I've seen in a while. The deaths were so over the top and ridiculous I couldn't stop laughing! The scene where the camera holds on the drunk guy in the car for several minutes was a perfect example of comedic timing. It was funny, then not funny, then hysterical! Also the plot was so absurd it was a perfect farce of old horror movies. It took every single horror trope and crammed it into the short runtime. The unnecessary nudity also commented on the absurd lengths directors will go to to sell tickets. It doesn't need to be in the movie and is way too long, but you can tell it was intentionally done. It's a perfect commentary on the pitfalls of budget filmmaking in the modern, exploitative world of cinema. Outside of all these intentional absurdities, the cast was legitimately good, and the practical effects were done really well. Those involved in these areas will certainly go on to do better things.

You know a film is horrible when the actors in it rate it a 10 and write a stellar review, comparing it to Devil's Rejects. How pathetic. So embarrassing, actually. Do not trust these 10 star reviews. Look at the history of the people reviewing it. That says a lot when this is the only thing they've ever reviewed. This thing stinks and you will do well to stay clear of it.

Worth the watch. The film pays homage to many popular and non popular 80's slasher films. The special effects were original but done in a lovely 80's fashion.

To many good things to say, Check this one out for a great time.

They had four dollars and a dream. This is by far one of the worst movies I've ever watched. The acting is beyond cringe. The movie script had to have been written by someone who has never seen a slasher film. I literally only created an account to offer feedback to others to not watch this TERRIBLE movie. You would easily get more scared and get a better script by going through a McDonald's drive thru. I will always support budget movies but this one should have never been made. I know moving forward if I see this directors name to immediately click out and ignore. I'm sad I wasted over an hour of my life on this when I could have stared at a wall and had more enjoyment. But I mean they did their best with $4.

I grew up in the 80s and I love the slasher films from that decade.

This movie didn't disappoint. Great quality kills, cool story and back story, and great plot twist. No spoilers I promise.

I look forward to Cruel Summer 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on.
