Dark Summer's reviews
Media reviews
New York Post
But its sleepy, hallucinogenic aesthetic is an entirely different - and rather less engaging - style, anyway.
Time Out
This has its moments, but offers a significantly weaker call on your time.
The Hollywood Reporter
Making the most of its low budget with its necessarily claustrophobic setting, the film displays a technical competence at least. But the rote performances and uninspired screenplay by Mike Le will inevitably consign Dark Summer to VOD viewing by undiscriminating consumers.
Variety
While competently made, Dark Summer makes no effort to lend its characters any psychological complexity, or even much distinguishing personality
Los Angeles Times
The true mistreatment is directed toward the moviegoer, who has to endure enough stale pseudo-shocks, empty atmospherics, and personality-free acting that it's hard not to think of viewing Dark Summer as running-time served.
