Kat Hughes THN Heartbreaking, powerful and truly sad, Cruel Summer is an emotional juggernaut that highlights just how truly terrible the human race can be. Rated: 4/5 Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat Murky characterizations and an over-fixation on just the facts and events hinder Cruel Summer from achieving its full potential. Rated: C Mar 7, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Not even know why the movie was even made very disturbing don’t waste your time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/21 Full Review Audience Member thought provoking and disturbing. long to get in to. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/03/18 Full Review Audience Member A thought prevoking film about one lie, which turns into murder. I personally found it a good yet difficult watch. Inspired by true events, it is worrying how people can be so violent. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/05/18 Full Review Audience Member If I could give it zero stars I would. Not because it was badly made, but I can see no reasoning behind even making this movie. Did the parents give approval? Were they consulted? I hope so. The people who did this in real life are seriously mentally disturbed. Rationale might tell you that if you had issues with your ex girlfriend having lied about her past multitude of partners, she would be the one you would go after. Since it was a psychopath with severe anger issues, he goes and takes it out on the poor lad. Totally effed up. Just plain wrong. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This was one of the most awful and heartbreaking films i have ever seen and makes me sick to the very core of my stomach. How this even made it on the shelves i wont ever understand. So lost for words!!???????? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member raw and gritty doesn't begin to sum this up. Deffinately not a "feel good" film, but a trek into the darker side of human nature? Most deffinately Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
