    Very bad acting so fake!

    The acting is awful scenes are so fake looks like it was filmed with an iPhone! It's a terrible movie I don't recommend this to anyone it's the worst slasher film I've ever seen! The actors need to go to acting school this is a real bore ho -hum movie it made me sleepy! No one is recognizable it's terrible really terrible, I've seen worse but this one takes the cake the cookies and the crumbs! Where did the get these actors out of a juvenile detention facility? The killing scenes are just awful not realistic I've never had to rate a movie before but this one , this one right here I could not resist!

    80s slasher vibe

    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.

    Great 80s type Slasher film !!

    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.

    HILARIOUS!

    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.
