About this movie

DARK SUMMER combines the supernatural terror of classic horrors THE SHINING and POLTERGEIST, with the tension and modern cool of DISTURBIA. Summer is a time to relax, unwind, take a vacation, and be free. But 17 year old Daniel Austin gets none of that because his obsessive online stalking of his classmate and crush, Mona Wilson, got him put on house arrest for the whole summer. So, no cell phone, no Internet, no leaving the property, and especially no Mona. Then Daniel's single mother has to go on a long business trip, and Daniel has the place to himself. Daniel figures out a way to piggyback onto his neighbors' wireless signal and, believing he's surfing off the grid, uses his time to check in on his friends - and Mona... But what Daniel didn't expect is for Mona to check up on him. And what she does next shakes him to his very core. And then things start to happen. Daniel receives mysterious packages in the mail, hears phantom noises, sees inanimate objects move, and feels a strange presence in the house... DARK SUMMER is a highly original twist on the supernatural summer season terror.

The movie was an excellent example of a supernatural happening. It was obviously very well researched by incorporating the craft into all aspects of the film. The ritualistic items, the steps needed to complete a task, and all the sacrifices needed are prime examples. I was disappointed that it seemed to leave out one line of spoken words that would have made it exact. The ending was justified if not leaving me a little betrayed. No spoilers. This is definitely a worthwhile film! So mote it be.

From its opening scene to the awesome twist at the end, this movie will hold your interest. The story line is great and the actors are wonderful. This is one movie I could watch over and over again. Thank you IFC for making another great movie.
