A young group of friends might have the best summer of their lives... if they can survive to see fall in the new coming-of-age horror movie from the filmmakers behind Turbo Kid.
Directed by Anouk Whissell, François Simard, and Yoann-Karl Whissell (collectively known as RKSS), Summer of ’84 stars Graham Verchere, Judah Lewis, Caleb Emery, Cory Gruter-Andrew, Tiera Skovbye, and Rich Sommer.
Summer of ’84 will screen as part of the Midnight program at this year's Sundance, and we'll have live coverage from the festival later this month.
Synopsis: "Summer, 1984: The perfect time to be 15 years old and free. But when neighborhood conspiracy theorist Davey Armstrong begins to suspect his police officer neighbor might be the serial killer all over the local news, he and his three best friends begin an investigation that soon turns dangerous."
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
