Summertime

Home with the flu, hopefully not Covid, I thought a nice comedy horror B-movie with a couple of gorgeous Spanish bikini girls would do the trick. The bikini girls were good but this was self indulgence at its worst. Sorry girls, somebody has to say it.

It doesn't match the description in any way. It is an abysmal, student-level piece of self-indulgent drivel that thinks it's clever and meta but is really just awful.

I wasted 40 minutes skimming through this. Now you don't need to waste your time.

Do you like pretty girls in bikinis? It is just two of them and you may like one better than the other - but it is one of the most important questions you should ask yourself. The other important thing is: do you have problems with funny and quite meta horror? Because this is actually not a horror movie. It likes to take apart and make fun of other movies. By talking way too much - telling you that there are scary scenes - when there are none.

Telling you there will be sexy scenes, when there are none. Well unless you count the bikini scenes - which are basically every scene in the movie. Again you have to take this with a grain of salt. You have to be able to laugh at jokes and maybe even know a movie or two to recognize what this is spoofing exactly.

The line is quite thin to walk on and I would argue there are more misses than hits ... still it can be fun, once you fully emerged yourself into it. Also did I mention I got lost in the eyes of one of the actresses? Just me ... well there you go.

I can like weird movies if they also smart, funny, scary or just have an interesting angle of some sort. Summertime offers none of these. It is not even effectively weird, it's just messy from beginning to the end.

I do not understand why this movie is tagged as "horror", because there is none. The only relation to horror is the bikini girls referencing some horror concepts and other movies.

The introduction makes no sense and creates false hope for a decent movie. The ending, after the credits, is in the same b/w style as the intro. Both are equally messy as the middle part, so the 2nd star is for consistency.
