The oblique summer camp comedy is cut above – Blogging Sole

Billboard Women in Music 2025

Within two decades in diverseI reviewed a few precious films. He called me from the old style, but I am not very happy as Roger Ebert called “Dead Teenage Films”-and however, for some reason, I write this week about three. The clearest explanation that I can refer to is the fact that in a time of the great economic uncertainty in the film industry, horror films work better than ever: they are cheap, and they are profitable and constantly drawing the masses without the cost of a huge marketing campaign.

Neon was intelligent with “Hell of a Summer”, a comedy in the summer camp that was chosen for the smart distributor last August, a year after its presentation for the first time in Midnight Madness at the Toronto Film Festival. Hello derivatives in the movie, but still is completely entertaining, with attractive characters and unforgettable characters (especially the “thelma” star Fred Hatcheng when he did not seem to get enough of Camp Pineway). More importantly, it represents the advantage of directing the first appearance of “Stranger Things” Finn Wolfhard and her fellow actor Billy Braik, who struck her on the “Ghostbusters: Feedlife” collection.

People in Neon know that this film is the thousand in an old formula -13 consultant appearing in Pineway, and he does not realize that someone wants to be all dead-but the film is the real deal (in that it plays well for the audience), and he has directors of directors, so he took the duo on the road for two weeks of the screen early. I recently made a ticket to one of these sold offers, and through the opening scene, I felt something different.

From the slim shark attack in “Al -Fuk” to watching a murder through the eyes of a 6 -year -old on “Halloween”, many depend on the first deaths in films like this. Such scenes tell us the type of film makers we deal with and put the tone of what will come. What caused my admiration in this case was not “killing” (which is already creative and designed to entertain more than the terrifying), but the way the participating managers managed to draw a pair of loved contemporary personalities-two young couples that annoy each other from the lake-before sending them.

Now, I was on Earth as long as Wolfhard and Bryk are together together, however, I watched these two films more than me. I have already delayed watching “Friday 13” until last year, when searching Diverse The 100 best horror movies have forced me all times to check it … even if the movie does not give up. On the contrary, young filmmakers not only saw this film but accommodate many imitators, to the point that they can quote and sabotage symbols-from the attractive electronic result of Jay McCarol (the advice of John Carpenter) to the screaming of “screaming”.

An early shot, spying from the Bouv killer behind some shrubs, is a public honor for “Friday 13”. It can not be any coincidence that Hechiner plays a role called Jason, and his mother wonders whether he should move forward in his life, instead of returning again to Pineway, where he spent a lot of summer, first as a close and later as a consultant. This is how Jason is desperate to stick to his happy place – although the next 24 hours may be painful enough to finally get him out of the permanent adolescence period. Hechiner is the perfect choice for this role, as it brings the right to optimism and omission to your pathetic role, which finds the opportunity to be heroic.

When the couple that we see in the opening scene fail in the camp, Jason escalates and takes the responsibility of the other ten advisers, who do not take their jobs seriously as he does. They are very busy with flirting and foods around who is the cabin and what to do about their food restrictions-and all this is just an appropriate amount of strict, leaving the masses half of the roots for the murderer to deal with Peskier counselors.

Among these potential victims, Wolfhard plays Chris, which is sensitive sexual studies, which have evolved more than CRO who usually fill such films. The ambitious effect of Demi (Bardis Sarimi) does not want to deliver her mobile phone. The sparkling theatrical obsessed, Azra (Matthew Finlan) makes his screaming look particularly dramatic. Shannon (Krista Nazer) seems to be difficult enough for their motivation for themselves. Meanwhile, Bryk desperately designed to connect, taking personally that he was not killed when he discovers that the killing list is requested from the hottest to the most family.

The attacks are often organized for our interest, causing some conspiracy holes in this process (if a murder is proposed to us but it does not actually appear, so what is the reason that the characters should assume?). This also explains the reason for the perpetrator to confront the costume of the Red Devil: to prevent the masses from identifying them early. Wolfhard and Bryk keeps us in guessing – and we laugh – and although everything from axes to pocket knives is weapons, the most unforgettable cuts come from editors Christine Armstrong and David Marx, who hide the low budget while creating creatively between the viewer.
