Rating: R Stars: Fred Hechinger, Abby Quinn, D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Billy Bryk, Finn Wolfhard, Paradis Saremi, Rosebud Baker, Adam Pally, Matthew Finlan, Julia Doyle, Krista Nazaire, Julia Lalonde, Daniel Gravelle, Susan Coyne Writers: Billy Bryk & Finn Wolfhard Directors: Billy Bryk & Finn Wolfhard Distributor: Neon Release Date: April 4, 2025 Comparing HELL OF A SUMMER to SCREAM is a bit of a stretch. The characters in the new film aren’t fonts of horror movie lore. On the other hand, they are self-aware enough to mostly behave in a self-protective manner when danger threatens, and we eventually get some villain monologues. […]Read On »
