Review: A normally quiet suburban town is plagued by an active serial killer and
teenage boys disappearing. Davey is convinced that the killer lives close to
him and is determined to prove it. His investigation puts him on the trail of his
neighbor Mr. Mackey. He is a seemingly friendly neighbor and also a policeman
and he is not on the list of prime suspects. But Davey doesn’t allow himself to
be fooled despite everyone declaring him crazy. Together with his friends, he does
everything he can do unravel the truth.
“Summer of 84” is a fun horror/
thriller, with a cool 80s vibe. I can see it as a combo of the movies “The ‘Burbs”
and “Disturbia” meet TV-series “Stranger Things”. There is enough room for simple
character development and a good build-up of tension. It’s a film nobody is
really talking about, when it is a really good film that deserves more
attention.
Rating: 3,5
