I checked the spoiler box but I will still attempt to be as vague as possible. I will start by saying that movie not only suffers from a bad ending, it is unnecessarily bad. Very much like the ending of Jeeper's Creepers where we end up looking through the poor kid's freshly hollowed out head.There are no ghosts here and little of anything scary. IFC midnight has completely, utterly failed. It is all about possession with a twist that nobody cares about. If you have seen any one of the last few thousand possession movies released in the last few decades, movies with trailers that lead you to believe there are ghosts or a haunting involved, then you already know what this one is all about.I will never recommend staying away from a movie unless it is so utterly bad that it has absolutely no redeeming qualities. This movie, I am sorry to say, is one of those movies. Even Jeeper's Creepers had something going for it, making it worth the ride. This one has a few unique things, but ultimately, it is not worth watching at all.You should only watch this if you like possession type movies with excessively bad endings. You have been warned!

Oh my god what an annoying movie.Close ups. Close ups. Close ups. Slow camera panning, close up camera panning. So much fudging close up camera panning. Jesus Christ almighty. This is one seriously annoyingly shot movie. Dear director, or whoever decided to have all shots, (except three, as I can remember) being zoomed in close up shots: Having close up shots of the actors, the 'action', the walking, the talking, the everything, does not make it good or interesting. For some shots, OK, but for every single god damn shot? I hope you never make a movie again. Seriously, someone should have punched him square in the mouth and said: You are not a good director, stop it with the close ups!!OK, on to the movie. There is a super skinny silent dude, a dopey eyed chick, and a.. black dude thats, well, he was alright. And there's Peter Stormare, he's kinda cool. There is some kind of plot, but damn it's slow. Slow and boring, and not interesting. There are some scenes that are supposed to be suspenseful and scary, but they are not. It is not scary at all. Not even slightly.And did I mention the close ups? And the camera panning the walls and the ceiling and the floor and the grass and the actors, and the everything ever? And the close ups? And the close ups? Close ups. Close. Ups.Movie is a waste of time. There is not fun here, at all.

I love horror/thriller movies. It isn't an exaggeration to say 90% of what I watch falls into that category. The other 10% is porn. It takes very little to make me happy when it comes to these smaller independent type movies. It isn't even so much the movie that I enjoy watching. It's the fun of looking for those hidden gems. Sure, it can suck watching a movie that's terrible, but it's worth the risk because you might find that movie that's so good your sack shrivels up like a prune.So even if the movie is terrible, I still enjoy it because it's all a part of the hunt.Dark Summer, however, was garbage. Boring, no plot, bad acting. Just crap. I didn't even know the names of the characters. There was no explanation of what was going on or why. There was just a super-dooper scary ghost with a super-dooper scary hoodie. Ooooooooooo....It was about an hour in when my pupils constricted and my body put me in a coma. When I finally woke up 4 days later I discovered that I had eaten the fingers off my left hand. There is also a large blood stain on the crotch of my pants but I'm to afraid to check what's causing it.

Hated by some horror geeks, loved by others, it's such a strange flick. Is it really a horror, well, in some ways it does but it's more about supernatural things going on or what's going on in one's mind. So don't think you will see a gory flick or will have jump scenes. What you will get is following the sick person for over 35 minutes. What he can do and what he can't do but towards the end it do offer some scenes that can offer some horror.Some shots are done in an arty way, have a look to the girl being shot in the pool, done in a really arty way.I still don't know what to think about it, for me it wasn't that bad after all but once summer is over I will have forgotten this flick...Gore 0,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
