Review of Summer of 84 (2018)

By Todd Jorgenson (1,852) for Cinemalogue (704) on 09 Aug 2018

Review of Summer of 84 (2018)

By Nell Minow (2,357) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 09 Aug 2018

A modest little suspense puzzle that simulates rather than builds on vastly better “my neighbor may be a murderer” stories from “Rear…

Review of Summer of 84 (2018)

By Richard Whittaker (567) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 08 Aug 2018

There’s an earnestness amid the well-executed jump scares and gruesome pay-off, an honesty that can sometimes be in short supply in teen-centric…

By Amanda Mazzillo (22) for Film Inquiry (1,269) on 07 Aug 2018

Summer of 84 strives in its scenes of tension and horror, but fails in its moments of childhood nostalgia and friendship…

Review of Summer of 84 (2018)

By Mike Mazzanti (39) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 07 Aug 2018
