Summer of Blood

From the first scene of many dinner dates the script is genius... think Seinfeld humour and throw in a body count.. B-grade horror-coms don't get much better than this. The acting and black humour is on point. Highly recommended good fun.

Imagine all the horrible characteristics of everybody you ever knew, put into this one despicable person. And the movie revolves around him. Within the first 20 words he spoke I wanted him to die really horrible. The other actors and the crew were good enough. The blood fx and all were really awesome. Just this one charater turned a 7 star movie into a 4 star movie.

Great fun. Got not too much to add to the other reviews but I thought I would add a good one to balance out the humour failures from the 'auteur director expert' ones. I enjoyed the dialogue which appeared to be add libbing. OK nothing too original as far as plot was concerned but snappy dialogue and no holds barred on what a sad bunch of w anchors we men are. Considering what high ratings some of the god awful blockbusters get on IMDb this nice little indie deserves more appreciation and a wider audience. It may not be Brain Dead but I enjoyed it far more than Prometheus, which I watched last night on double speed. With its rent-a-plot full of holes and the cast of stereotypes. Will now get Onur Tukel's next movie Applesauce to watch.

I have watched 3 movies of this director, i liked a lot all of them, my favorite is "Applesauce". I don't know why his movies were not more successful, although i can guess a thing or two.

In any case, don't expect a comedy/horror movie, this is more Woody Allen than, i don't know, Shaun of the dead. In fact, this is a big flaw of this movie, i would have rated it even higher if it hadn't turned into something like a comedy/horror movie. S. O. B should remain an offbeat comedy movie, first 30 minutes were hilarious, i loved this character. Make no mistake, this is an unlikeable and creepy character, selfish and many other negative things. Yet, it was a pleasure to watch him, basically self sabotaging his life.

After the "horror" element appears, it was still a fun ride but not as entertaining as the first 30 minutes.

Overall, this is raw and witty and real. There are many hilarious scenes and i enjoyed it a lot.

I must have watched a completely different movie from the other reviewer, but I could not stand this film. The main character is so abominably unlikable and annoying that it's hard to see the point - sure, pretentious hipster wastrels are a reasonable target for satire, but you have to let us out of his insufferable orbit a bit or else we can't breathe. And when the movie's plot (such as it is) centers around this schlub's relationship with his girlfriend, an attractive, up-and-coming lawyer, it robs that plot of any motive power when we can't figure out why anyone, let alone her, would be with this guy. Agonizing to get through.
