Audience Member Slow... And boring.... A total waste of time. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Not horrible but not a masterpiece. There are a few traces of "Pulse" with the sort of tech driven horror plot. I liked the concept but was a bit clumsy in execution. Worth a watch, but it's more thriller than horror to me (there are a few horror elements in it but they are sparse). Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Not amazing but a good show if you are looking for a light scare. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member The best actors in Hollywood need to get that big role before their career can take off. No matter how good they are, until they find that role, they won't be a household name and are forced to take whatever roles they can get. Even megastars, like Chris Pratt got his start on a low rated CW drama, and did B-movies for a decade before he was cast as Star Lord, this is the position Keir Gilchrist finds himself in now. Gilchrist is an exceptional young actor, who always gives his best, but without that big role on his resume, he's forced to take jobs like this one. Dark Summer follows Daniel, (Gilchrist) a 17 year old who has recently been sentenced to house arrest for stalking a girl from his school. To make matters worse, his parents are away for the summer and Daniel is all alone. As boredom ware away at him mind, Daniel starts to see things and wonders if he's being punished for his crimes by some supernatural entity, or if he's just going insane from boredom. For much of this movie, the actor is bored, and if the actor is bored, what do you think the audience is feeling? Daniel's days are filled with monotonous discussions with friends, who sneak over, and of course investigations that turn up nothing. As for his nights, they are filled with a lot of jump scares and loud noises that again ultimately turn up nothing, as Dark Summer is just one of those films where nothing happens until the last twenty minutes, and by then, who really cares anymore? The bottom line, even a great actor couldn't save this film, it's your typical supernatural horror film, filled with a lot of jump scares, good looking people, and a whole lot of nothing else until the very end. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review charles s There was a lot more to this movie than I was expecting, especially from the panning here that I can't wrap my mind around, Don't let the teen meladrama and probably overuse of strange indie shots put you off, they all serve the finale. Movie was well acted and the plot was fantastic, Definitely would recommend checking out this little thriller. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't understand the poor reviews. The acting was better than most horror movies. It is worth watching yourself to see if you like it. It is one of the few horror movies that doesn't have characters doing blatantly dumb things that get themselves killed. I don't yell at the characters! The characters seem pretty realistic too, and the lead actress is a cutie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
