Eric Kohn indieWire If Summer of Blood is initially hard to take, the endlessly chatty Erik eventually becomes a walking gag in his own right, and its one-note charm takes hold. Rated: B+ Oct 22, 2014 Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times It's all mellowly funny rather than creepy, something like a stand-up conceit elaborated into scenes. But who would want to be stuck with this running monologue for eternity? Oct 16, 2014 Full Review Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice Any 30 minutes of Summer of Blood might have me in hysterics. But the sputtering torrent of Eric's yakking proves wearying over 90: Dude's built for speed-dating. Oct 14, 2014 Full Review Jason Adams The Film Experience The Brooklyn hipster vampire sex-comedy you never knew you wanted... and still might not be sure you really wanted even after it's over Jul 6, 2021 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Turkel's examination of the self-absorbed modern male is nothing new, and Summer of Blood doesn't quite reach the horrific or comedic heights one would hope. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 6, 2019 Full Review John Fink The Film Stage I admire the DIY spirit, but Summer of Blood feels like a bit of a compromise. Rated: C Jun 6, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Original but extremely annoying. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review diane h It's not laugh-out-loud funny by any means, but it held my attention. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A horrible movie about horrible people who become even more horrible when they are vampires. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Would be Better as a 30 min short. Liked be soundtrack tho Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This Onur Tukel comedy looks much better than his latest Applesauce, even if it's much lighter and has less drama. A simple Woody Allen-style relationship farce is turned around by all figures becoming zombies and having fun at the expense of the others. Dating and sex is great again, and you won't die. But the essential question with whom to live becames even more troublesome, because it's not 40 years anymore, it's becoming forever. Which closes the circle of the relationship dilemma. Most of the scenes play outside, which makes great lightning and the camera is always on the move, and the actors are fantastic, esp. my favorites Dustin Guy Defa, Keith Poulson, Alex Karpovsky and Melodie Sisk. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member there's a weird thing about this movie is that I didn't like it but yet, it was entertaining enou ghost to keep me engaged. it's not terrible but the main character of Erik gets to that annoying point where you almost want to stop but then something happens to keep it going and him to stop for a second or two. there's more humor then scares and it shouldn't even fit into a horror category but somehow it does. also felt like I was being thrown into one writers views of politics, global warming and cancer. not a recommendation but if you are bored, go for it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
