Leave your thoughts about Summer of 84.
| The LensAndrew WyattThe directors exploited a similar retro vibe in the giddy, gonzo Turbo Kid, but here it feels somewhat superfluous, tacked onto a standard serial-killer-next-door thriller. |
| Butaca AnchaErick OrtizAll this prevents Summer of '84 from being a mere pastiche and makes it one of the best genre films of 2018. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| KPBS.orgBeth AccomandoDelivers a sense of nostalgia as it spins a tale that mixes equal parts comedy and real-world horror. A small film like this is such an artistic pleasure and a refreshing relief from the empty-headed, big-budget fare. |
| The Blogging BansheeMolly HenerySummer of 84 is a suspenseful throwback flick that hits close to home. It instills the idea that no one ever truly knows another person, and, in this film, that means anyone could be a serial killer - even your next door neighbor. |
| AV ClubKatie RifeThe film’s dialogue and characterization are similarly undercooked: The script strains painfully hard for off-the-cuff vulgarity, but never quite achieves it, and while the pop culture references—always a punching bag for critics when dealing with nostalgia-themed entertainments—are applied sparingly, the tin-earned dialogue gives them an awkward, shoehorned-in quality. |
| PopMattersJ.R. KinnardIt's the type of outrageous ending that divides audiences and builds cult followings. Summer of '84 is a trashy classic that will absolutely rock midnight movie houses. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoYou'll have to really miss the mid-'80s to make it through [Summer of '84]. |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonI enjoyed that [RKSS'] second feature gave these three filmmakers a chance to do something that is very different than Turbo Kid, and yet also feels like the perfect companion piece to their debut feature all the same. |
| Film ThreatAnthony Ray BenchSummer ’84 requires patience. If you find yourself feeling like you’re bored by familiarity, just wait. You won’t be disappointed. |
| The Hollywood NewsKat HughesMore subdued than it's predecessor, Summer of '84 is still a love letter to a near forgotten time in cinema. Sit back, relax and let yourself be whisked back to the simpler time of 1984. |
