Bloody Disgusting

The directors’ acting backgrounds translate to an ensemble of entertaining and lively performances, though their debut is less effective in form and slasher thrills.

Screen Zealots

There are a few jokey gags, but the laughs that this camp slasher film needs are nowhere to be found.

Hell of a Summer is a campy blast of a film, blending the nostalgia of 80s camp slashers with coming-of-age teen comedies.
